washing machine?

[daisyt]

Nowadays front load machines have option of quick wash. I would soak my clothings with detergent overnight, then put into the washing machine with quick wash 30 mins. I don’t add anymore detergent into the washing machine, simply add softlan or colour bleech.

Bosch and Brandt have toploader but the drum spin like the front loader. have hot water wash so while it uses lesser water, it takes more electricity. If u r a pro-green person, compare the power consumption.


Another thing is that these toploader usually have smaller footprint so good for people like myself who have a very small yard.

BOSCH has washer that saves water and energy. So you can try shopping at COURTS/HV for a comparision

there is \"tilted drum\" machine now that offers the water saving and heated water functions of front loading, yet convenient to use like a top loading.

PS Everjoint, Etronin and Paris (Parisilk) are names of some of the \"discount\" stores for electrical appliances

Yea, go to Best/HN/Courts and check the specs and size then order fromone of the above...guarantee cheaper!!

Etronin have 2 branhces, and one is more exp!! They will quote over the phone too but check everything such as freebies, delivery, warranty (extended if needed) etc

Am I the only one here that buy home appliances from those proprietor owned electrical appliance shops?

For years we have been buying my home appliances, from fridge to LCD TV to videocam from a shop along geyland. So much so that the owner recognise us and give us very good price and usually same day, if not next day free delivery. :love: Even the 2 guys that do delivery recognise our address

Thus, I ony shop at best denki & harvey norman to determine what to buy :oops: and not shop to buy from them. :oops:

You're lucky then. I don't live near such shops. However, we have 1-2 furniture shops like that and we have bought from them before.

The first washing machine for my own home was bought from HN. It was a display set so we got at least $200 off. About 10 years later, this top-loader (can't remember the brand) was still working but getting noisier and we didn't want it to suddenly break down and leave us stranded. (My mom's machine did that during the spin dry cycle but luckily, she could haul the clothes downstairs to use a neighbour's machine to finish the last step.) So we went hunting again and HN was having a roadshow with an offer on the one we wanted, so we took it.

....

me neither.

We chanced upon the shop while eating at Katong (where they used to be) and made our first purchase. Since then we have shifted 2 times all around Singapore and the shop once. We were never near.

Hi,


I swear by Electrolux (front load).

A suggestion - If you decide to use Parisilk, you may want to call up the Bedok branch and ask for Larry. He is v obliging.

We have been Larry's loyal customers for more than 10 yrs. Bought all our electrical items from Parissilk when we moved into our flat.

And yes based on the above suggestions, do look ard and once you have decided on your model, then contact them.

Happy hunting
