Electrolux Icon Appliances - Stay Away
Pros:
None that I've been able to identify, other than shiny stainless steel is "pretty".
Cons:
Too small. Poor design. Temperature settings inaccurate. Poor quality. Poor parts availability for repairs.
The Bottom Line:
Stay away from all Electrolux Icon appliances. We have 3, have had to have all serviced within the first 18 months of owning them. Poor quality, poor design, not reliable.

Author's Review
We've had an Electrolux Icon fridge for 18 months so were very surprised when the water dispenser control broke off when we were filling a glass of water. It is now just dangling there and not useable. It has taken a couple of weeks to get parts in, and they aren't covered by warranty. When all is said and done, this will cost a couple of hundred dollars to fix, which is silly for a fridge still so new. Also, the fridge is too small. Design is poor, as the drawers hit the door gasket when they are opened, unless you swing the door wide open, so the door gasket is now damaged as well. And despite turning the temperature down low, we've been hard pressed to get the fridge really cool. Our 15 year old fridge in the basement is a much better appliance. Pretty disappointing after spending so much money on it. We've also had problems with our Electrolux Icon Built In Oven. When we had it checked (also not covered by warranty) the temperature was 30 degrees too low. Hard to cook with an oven that is so unreliable. And we also have an Electrolux Speed Oven which is so noisy, it sounds like I have an aircraft taking off in my kitchen. So my advice - stay away from these overpriced, low quality appliances.
