Electrolux EFLS617S vs Haier HLP24E

This machine premixes the detergent and water in a separate compartment before being delivered to the drum. This results in a more even distribution of the detergent which means better cleaning efficiency. While it may not sound like much, it’s highly effective at improving the washes quality.

Electrolux provides a one year warranty that will cover both labor and parts if needed. With some dealers, this warranty can be extended for longer.

Electrolux provides a lifetime warranty for the tub, excluding labor costs.

The washing machine is filled with sensors to make each cycle optimal. It can detect how much laundry is in the machine, so it can adjust accordingly. It also measures the temperature, to ensure it's at the most appropriate level.

While the machine offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to customizing the cycles, it will prevent you from making mistakes that can destroy your laundry. For example, it will not allow you to select the hottest water temperature or set very high spin speeds when you are washing your delicates or color-sensitive clothes.

The machine's motor has a ten-year warranty that covers the part itself (you'll still need to cover labor costs).

The drum light turns off automatically after three minutes if the door is left open.

This washing machine can ensure quiet and rumble-free running by using sensors that detect unbalanced loads. If it senses a risk of vibration due to uneven load distribution, it will automatically adjust and even out the load throughout the drum.

This machine uses steam to sanitize the clothes. Steam can also be used to get rid of very stubborn stains.

There are 9 cycles to choose from. This may not seem a lot, but it actually covers all of the basics. They can be modified to your needs by changing the temperature, soil level, and spin speed.

The washer has special cycles for specific stains, like blood or chocolate. It changes the way the cycle works to correctly fight against the stain.

This machine's fast cycle lasts only 15 minutes, which is great for emergency washes when the time is of the essence.

The control panel is simplified, with clear and bright indications about their functions. None of the buttons have double functions.

This appliance is offered in two variants: a white one and a more modern, metallic gray one, which looks better, but it costs around $100 more.

This machine's capacity should be enough for a medium-sized family’s laundry needs, given its large drum (4.4 cubic feet).

While most washing machines have a simple square display somewhere on the front, this one has a round display in the middle of the cycle selection knob. This makes the machine look very modern and expensive.

You can set the washer to the most effective settings available for each laundry type and situation. There are four cycles to choose from, ranging from heavy-duty to washing delicate materials. You can save water by changing the water level according to how filled the washer is. The spinner goes up to 800 rpm, which can effectively take moisture out of the laundry.

Measuring 35 x 20 x 20 inches, it’s definitely made for places where space isn't freely available. Weighing 61 pounds, it’s also relatively easy to move around. You can, for example, move it from a storage area to a bathroom or kitchen area when it’s time to do the laundry. The capacity of just 1.5 cubic ft is substantially less than what a full-sized washing machine can take, but is still enough to handle your personal laundry with ease.

The feet can be adjusted to level the machine and reduce vibration.

This washing machine can be installed to an existing water hookup, but if you don't have one available, you can also connect it to almost any bathroom or kitchen faucet, using the included adapter. Once you’ve done with your laundry, it is also easy to detach the connection, for storage.
