Frigidaire FTF530FS Review
Another model absent from industry experts' lists, this 3.1 cubic-foot front-loader has a spotty track record with users. Most consumers like the energy efficiency and cleaning power this machine offers, and happy owners note it comes with knobs instead of an electronic control board, which is pricey to repair. However, complaints pop up frequently about bearings giving out, drum supports breaking, and door latches failing.
The front-loading Frigidaire FTF530FS is a front-loader starts at less than $450 but is well off the radar of industry experts and absent from consumer products review sites. Frigidaire FTF530FS reviews by users assign the model middling grades on average, but it seems to have divisive powers: consumers either love or hate this model.

Some Frigidaire FTF530FS reviews express surprise at the cost savings and say using high efficiency detergent takes getting used to, and its quiet operation pleases users. On the other hand, many consumers fault its dependability.
