Frigidaire’s Affinity Front Load Washer recently received ENERGY STAR approval from the U.S. Department of Energy. The new washer from Frigidaire took four out of five spots in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR rankings. The ENERGY STAR ratings measure the washer’s water efficiency and the energy required to run the washer and heat the water used for a wash cycle. Frigidaire was also recently recognized as a Special Honoree in the 2010 ENERGY STAR awards.

Here’s what Marty O’Gorman, General Manager for Frigidaire, had to say about Frigidaire home appliances:
