I'm not finding many complaints about the Electrolux EIFLW50LIW and if you're interested I believe if you step up to the next model you'll get the steam option.
Check out the Electrolux comparisons between their own washers.
I've heard Electrolux has great customer service and support.

I was considering the Electrolux EIFLW50LIW but decided on the LG 3640 FL. Just got it so can't comment. I thought it had a better repair record according to consumers. My friend is very happy with her Electrolux. If you plan on it being upstairs I would get Electrolux. I think I read somewhere that they have least amount of vibration.

Love, love the Electrolux. I've had it 5 months. Best machine I ever used. I had the duets also and thought they were great. But these new machines are truly incredible.

Of all the UBER sized from loaders on the market today, I would say that the Electrolux is probably the best choice.
