So I am very excited to tell you about my new Frigidaire refrigerator that Frigidaire sent me as part of the Mom Test Drive Team at Mom Central ! I think “vlogs” do a better job at reviewing a product so check out the video above for my review!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to get this! I was able to give our other fridge to my mom. The fridge we gave to my mom had french doors and was great but having the freezer on the bottom wasn’t as fun as a thought! I am so glad to have our side by side back. Thanks Frigidaire ! Don’t forget to take the Frigidaire Daily Dare and you could win your own Appliances!

 Frigidaire sent me the refrigerator to make my life easier, so I decided to contact the makers of Klondike, Breyers and Popsicle brand to help give you something to freshen up your freezer!

Breyers insulated BUILT bag

Thanks to Mom Central we are lucky enough to be a part of the Super Test Drive Team.  Since we were chosen, we are getting a new washer and dryer!  It can’t be any better timing since our washer is going out!  It is making the strangest noise, well anyway, we are giving our old washer (after we fix the problem!) to the ConsumerQueen’s Grandma!  She is a stubborn person and wouldn’t tell anyone she was hand washing her clothes!  So this will be a great suprise for her.  But what is most exciting to us is that Frigidaire has a time saving feature that will save us time doing laundry and let us have more time doing things with the family! Don’t forget to take the Frigidaire Daily Dare and you could win your own Appliances!

Check out these time savers on the Frigidaire Affinity brand:

WASHERS

• Our WashSense™ technology ensures clothes get clean with care.
• With our Advanced Rinse Technology, final rinse uses fresh water to ensure whiter whites and reduce allergens.
• This washer offers a fast, 28-minute Quick Wash cycle.
• Express-Select™ Controls offer easy-to-select options and cycles at the touch of a button.

DRYERS:

• Our Fits-More™ 7.0 cu.ft. Dryer is the largest capacity dryer in a standard size 7 so you can dry more at once.
• Our handy DrySense™ technology dries your clothes more precisely, reducing wrinkles so you spend less time at the ironing board!
• With TimeWise™ technology, wash time equals dry time – so you don’t wait for clothes to dry.
• This dryer offers a fast, 28-minute Quick Dry cycle.
• Express-Select™ Controls offer easy-to-select options and cycles at the touch of a button.

Now at first I did not want to give my old washer and dryer up because I was afraid I would spend more money because I could only use HE detergent! I had heard there were many myths about HE detergent that just were not true! I found this out when I met LaundryHE on Twitter !

A few of you wrote to me and said I am not sure about getting a front loading machine and so I wanted to put your mind at ease and give you some tips!

HE detergent is very important when you use a front loading machine to prevent soil build up, over sudsing and maintaining your machines warranty.

Oversudsing can leave to residue buildup in the wash drum as well as rubber gasket in the interior door of your HE washer. You can find lots of tips and myths about HE detergent at LaundryHE.com

 I know you guys are excited  to hear that Frigidaire is going to be sending us this new washer and dryer to test and I hope that I can give you a proper review but I also wanted to be able to help you guys out as well. Sooooooo to get you started thinking about getting the new Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer I want to give you the chance to win some HE laundry detergent so you can see first hand how much better you clothes will be when you use HE detergent in your new Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer!

So Wisk is going to give a year supply of HE detergent to one lucky blog reader!

As you know, this month Frigidaire rolls out a brilliant new collection with more than 250 kitchen and laundry appliances, just in time for Mother’s Day! They designed these high-performance products with easy-to-use, time-saving features to give Moms more free time away from the kitchen and laundry room.

Frigidaire recently conducted a survey to get a window into moms’ lives. The Frigidaire Motherload Index revealed that Moms log more overtime than most Americans. The index found that moms spend most of their waking lives – 200 hours each month, in fact – doing the activities we least enjoy rather than the things we love. And yet the majority of us say we “rarely” or “never” feel caught up on our household tasks.  Frigidaire kept all of this in mind when designing their new appliances.  With new features such as a six-minute PowerPlus™ preheat time on their ovens, a Quick Clean dishwashing cycle that cuts the time it takes in half to clean our dishes, the Fits-More™ Dryer that allows us to dry the whole family’s clothes at once, and TimeWise™ technology to make the dryer and washing cycle equal, we can have enough time to watch our favorite shows—or even better—get a manicure!

Frigidaire has so much confidence in the efficiency of these products that they are offering a “More Me-Time” Guarantee: Moms will reduce the amount of time they typically spend on housework by at least 8 hours a month using a combination of three or more select Frigidaire appliances or they can return the appliances to their place of purchase within 30 days and get their money back!  Frigidaire also wants to know what you would do if you had an extra hour of blissful “me-time”.  Starting today, moms can go to Frigdaire.com to report the five things they would do with an extra hour each day.   All participants will be entered for a chance to win an entire suite of NEW Frigidaire appliances.  Plus, check out other prizes you can win – like a gorgeous new Frigidaire Affinity washer/dryer.

**The News** 

I am so excited to tell you that I was invited to be a Frigidaire Test Drive MOM thanks to Mom Central. Not only that but I was lucky enough to be one of the few moms to be chosen to be  a”Super Tester”. I am so excited because they are going to send me the following items to test:

• Refrigerator
• Stove
• Over the range microwave
• Dishwasher
• Washer & Dryer 

I will be giving my other appliances to my mom who desperately needs them. She has needed new appliances for a really long time but could not afford them because she is on disability. I will also hand down my washer and dryer to my grandmother, who’s washing machine just broke and she has been washing by hand! My cousin will also get my moms old stuff so I am so glad that I can help so many people in my family.

Keep checking back as I will be posting lots of photos and videos of the products and how they work. You may also follow them on Facebook. You can also follow the hashtag #FrigidaireTeam to find out what the rest of the team is tweeting about.

But wait theres more! You can enter to win a new Washer and Dryer by entering and telling Frigidaire if you had an extra hour a day what 5 things you would do!
