Frigidaire Electric Dryer FEQ1442E(electric)/FGQ1442E (gas)

Date Published: 5/12/06

The FEQ1442E/FGQ1442E, a versatile dryer from Frigidaire, has a flat top that makes it ideal for many installation options; choose from hidden (in a closet), freestanding, stacked, under-counter, or pedestal-mounted.

Unlike some adaptable models, this one is a full 27 inches wide with a generous capacity of 5.8 cubic feet that is comparable to a conventionally styled model. Loaded with features and cycles, you'll never feel like you scrimped on this unit. Seven automatic cycles, four temperature options, and a press-saver cycle combined with a sophisticated sensor give you the best in available technology. These features work together to allow you the control you need to protect your clothing from the damage of over-drying.

When not using a programmed cycle, this model can be set to dry any temperature for up to 90 minutes. Status lights keep you informed as to where in the cycle you are. And when the drying is over, it's easy to find even that very last sock thanks to an interior drum light. With a reversible door, this model offers all the installation options you could possibly need.

With the Frigidaire FEQ1442E/FGQ1442E you get maximum flexibility with the look and feel of the expensive European models, but without the exorbitant price tag.

Pros: Lots of flexibility and desirable features at a moderate price, wide network of service agents
Cons: Comprised of less expensive components than some comparable units
