By Brittany Rowland<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nThe Frigidaire Affinity Series FAFS4073N and the Samsung WF210ANW are two front loading washing machines ranked highly for their performance and capacity. They are also similar in price. We will compare these two washing machines in other qualities to see how they stack up against each other.<\/p>\n

As far as capacity goes, the two washing machines are close in size, but the Frigidaire model is a tad larger at 3.8 cubic feet compared to the Samsung model\u2019s 3.5 cubic feet. That\u2019s not a huge difference, but it could make it easier to wash bedding and other bulky items.<\/p>\n

The Frigidaire model also comes out ahead for energy efficiency. It\u2019s not only Energy Star rated, it\u2019s also rated the most efficient washing machine of 2012 by Energy Star. The Samsung model is Energy Star compliant. Efficiency is important not only for the environment, but also because it saves you money on your energy bill and requires less detergent to get clothes clean.<\/p>\n

Both models are similar in vibration reduction, but the Frigidaire model has 10 wash cycles compared to the Samsung model\u2019s 6. Additionally, the Frigidaire model comes in 3 color options: white, red, or silver. Color may not be the greatest deciding factor, but it makes a difference if you\u2019re tired of plain white appliances.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the Frigidaire Affinity Series FAFS4073N offers more than the Samsung WF210ANW in terms of features, energy efficiency, and capacity. <\/p>\n
