washing machine?

[peh-boo]

peh-boo:

our electrolux has been with us for 10 years now still like brand new leh no problem at all.

front-loading is better coz u can see whats happening inside but top loading u can open the top n disrupt the machine to retrieve something maybe a comb or coins.

at the end of the day, whichever u find useful is the best lor hehe...

Agree 100%...people have diff tastes. My hubby wanted a top loading so that he can throw in clothes but he has received many warnings that he can't do so after 1st rinse.

Reviving this thread.


Am looking for a top load washing machine. So far the recommendations in this thread have been for front load washer. Which brand is good for a top load washer?

Thanks.

I’m using Fisher & Paykel - bought for I think $800+ in 2003. Had to change some control thingy once (for about 2-300+) but otherwise machine still running ok.


Given the choice to redo, I think I will buy those el-cheapo top load at 300 instead. Spoil already buy new one; rather than have to worry about repair.

Front load is good becos of hot water option; but I love that top load only takes 40 min to complete. My mum’s ex-front load machine could take 2 hours!!

Thanks for your feedback, hquek.

So, among the $300+ top loads, do you have any recommendation?

Mine is National, bought in 1996, still standing strongly!

I tend to go for Japan, then Korean models. I know these are probably made in Thailand/Indo - it's probably the perception.

Useful thread. Need some advise from kiasu you


We are using Electrolux washer and dryer for some years now. No compliant.

But our maid like to stuff the washer very full so we have replaced the motor 2 times due to overheating. Told her many times try not to do this, but we do understand sometimes she just want to clear the dirty clothings. OK fair.

Now the question. Trust I should buy the next time a bigger capacity / load washer? I guess the water and electrical consumption will be more, say, comparing a 6kg to a 8kg model.

Care to share your view please? Thanks!

How big is your family? I think the only problem you facing now is washer overloaded. Get the maid to wash it in 2 cycle, specify once in the morning and once at night. Unless you can fill up the 8kg washer at every wash or else dun buy it. It’s a waste of electricity and water!


We are a family of 4, using 6.5kg Electrolux washer & dryer for 5yrs. Recently, our washer give out very loud noise. Not sure what’s wrong, waiting for technician to come service it. Hopefully, changing some minor parts can get the machine work again.

Which brand of washing machine (top loader) is good? Do not require many complicated function, most important is cheap & good. Looking at 8kg to 9kg where budget around $300-$450. Of course I'm open to extend my budget as I heard that Samsung, LG are quite good?


Any expert can share which brand is good & what brand to avoid? If you have lobang where can get it cheap do let me know.I heard some trading shop where just quote the brand & they will give a COD to us.
