Thank you for coming along with me as I’ve tested out the new Gallery Collection from Frigidaire. Remember that you can also win Frigidaire appliances and earn a $1 donation for Save the Children by pledging to Make Time for Change…

The last of the sweet suite of Frigidaire appliances I received distinguishes itself with its intuitive features. Actually, this is two appliances: the Range and the mounted Microwave. Like the rest of the Gallery appliances, the range and microwave look sharp. Even more importantly, they have a large number of time-saving and convenient options.

Frigidaire promises that their appliances will give you back more “me” time. Even better, let’s make that some “we” time.

Jennifer Garner, Frigidaire celebrity spokesperson (and awesome mom, despite having totally stolen the name Violet from me), are teaming up in support of Save the Children.

Affinity Washer and Dryer “appliances”. It is like some advanced alien civilization visited my laundry room and left behind their space-age technology.

Maybe it is just because I’m frugal, but I’ve never owned anything quite like this before. Sure, the other appliances are good. They are more efficient, sharper-looking, and roomier than my old ones. But the washer/dryer are a whole other species of home electronics…

There’s a member of my family who takes a little ribbing for an insistence on washing each dish thoroughly before placing it in the dishwasher–and the dishes are so immaculate no one knows if the washer has been run or not. This person insists that is the only way the dishes get clean. Add to that the time spent drying the dishes after the dishwasher is done, and there is almost no point in putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

So, I was really hoping that our new Frigidaire dishwasher would cut down on the time and effort we put into washing dishes in our household…

Earlier, I announced I was part of the Frigidaire Mom Test Drive Team and promised to share my experience testing out Frigidaire’s More Me Time Guarantee.

The appliances (courtesy of Frigidaire) have started to arrive so let’s check them out! Is the new Frigidaire refrigerator super cool, or just lukewarm?

How’s this for the ultimate in chic meets geek?

The Dyson DC25, which I was lucky enough to review, will be featured as a robot in the new transformers movie: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Dyson has generously offered a Dyson DC25 as a prize for one lucky winner. This is a fantastic prize, so follow the rules closely!

Frigidaire Test Drive Mom, which means I will be receiving a suite of sweet kitchen appliances. Check out the My Motherload site to find out more about the “More Me Time” guarantee and find out how you can enter to win your own appliances!

Now, before these Frigidaire appliances arrive, I wanted to show you what my kitchen looks like now with my old appliances.

Remember, all of these video and images are from BEFORE the new, energy-efficient, time-saving Frigidaire appliances arrive. My OLD appliances are NOT Frigidaire.

I am incredibly excited that Frigidaire and our friends at Mom Central have chosen me to share my experiences with some exciting new appliances with you.

These new appliances save three things I care about: money, time, and the earth’s resources…
