washing machine?

[KSmom8]

:thankyou: sundaymorning, Osim, Imami, st2, for sharing.


We went shopping for a washer and liked the feel of the Electrolux. Perhaps, because we had an Electrolux before so it felt comfortable. However, the 8 kg made Italy model which we liked was discontinued and unavailable. Left the \"made in Thailand\" models. Heard the new models will be launched end of April or May, so the remaining ones are sold at discounted price - actually good time to buy ELectrolux if happy with available models.

In the end, we settled on a LG 8kg front load made in Thailand washer. Total cost of LG washer (including 3 yrs extended warranty ) still less than cost of the 8 kg \"made in Thailand\" Electrolux ( without extended warranty ), Plus LG has 10 year warranty on motor. A friend said her washer repairman recommended LG. Hope we made the right decision.

Looking forward to delivery of washer - my Phil helper showing black face after only 1 day of hand washing. Hope this washer will be reliable. :xedfingers:

KSmom8,


Wow, your LG has 10 year warranty for motor. That is the most expensive part of the machine. Good deal.

I previously had 2 Aristons. 1st one lasted 8 years, second one 5 years. Now I use LG Model WD-10481TP, 7.5kg and I am very happy with the model. It's coming to 4 years. It has hot water, extra rinse, prewash, baby care option and a quick 30 for emergency wash. Came with 2 Yr warranty and we paid some extra to extend 1 more year but so far never used the warranty.


We figured no point paying so much for European brand anymore as they do not last like they used too. If my LG can last 5 years, that would have met my expectation. Any longer is a bonus.

Is Ariston good? where does it made from?

Just from my experience, may not be so for others, I think it used to be good when they were from Europe. Now all from Asia, perhaps Thailand, not as good. My last one, motor broke down after 5 years. Usually, if motor dies, can throw away machine unless they can help you find a recon one. Too expensive to replace and also European machines spare parts also more expensive. I think KSmom above got LG with 10 Yr warranty for motor is very good.

Wanted to promote Panasonic washing maching but seems that you have bought one.

Never used a LG before. Do drop a message to let us know how is it after you try it out.

Yes, will do so. After delivery, I understand that I will need to book an appointment for demonstration....I understand LG sends someone to demonstrate and teach. Hope it will be a fruitful session.

The 10 year warranty is indeed a bonus. I feel that LG must have confidence in their motor to offer this warranty.

When we were shopping, noticed that Bosch front load 8 kg also has a 10 year warranty on motor. The model is made in Germany. Price also discounted ... tempted....but still expensive.

Hi ksmom8

I loved my lg top load washer. Used it for 8 years, broke down last yr. Since it lasted 8 yrs and didn't give me any prob at all for the past 8 yrs, I decided to buy lg again, the one with 10 yr warranty on motor. I fell in love with it immediately. Less noise, less vibration, uses less water and no more sending my queen size comforters for dry clean. No regret at all even though it is more expensive. Btw I did not get anyone to do the demo, it is user friendly.

Got lots of accumulated laundry since old washer conked off. Yes, it is user friendly. Can just read manual and start using. Pretty quiet and very little vibration - sings a tune when it's done. :rahrah:

While one could easily operate it without a demo, it was useful to have a demo cos the person who came is also a technician so he also does a rough check on the machine to check for stability etc. plus of course, he runs through the programs and answers the questions. First time demo is free.

Now, I'm adjusting the amount of detergent - needed to reduce cos less water used I suppose. Plus trying to see if can do without or reduce the use of laundry bags. I used lots of laundry bags previously cos I didn't like the clothes being stretched too much with a higher spin rpm - could get worn out faster. However, realized that the laundry bags now get entangled with each other due to the 6 motion wash in LG washer - so probably impedes the washing effectiveness.

My Ariston dryer ( about 3 years old ) was made in United Kingdom. Not sure where the washing machines are made in.
