washing machine?

[kiasimom]

Hi.

For washing machine, there are a few points to look out for:
1. How many people in the household?
2. Will you be getting a dryer as well?
3. Budget?
4. Front load or top load?

ok let me add on
my house only have husband and wife + 7yo DD and 1yo DS
i dont think i need a dryer as i think it may be very costly
many ppl told me that front load is better and i hope i can get a good one at not more than 1k

For front load washing machine, one of the more reputable brand is BOSCH. They have been making washing machines for 50 years.
There are a few models to choose from and do get those made in Germany.
I used Bosch and it is water saving and energy efficient.
Yes, front load is better than top load because of the way the tub spins and your clothes are supposed to last longer.
Hope that helps

And forget to add on, I have 5 people in my household and I buy the 8kg washing machine. It also depends on your washing routine. Cheers :lol:

yeap, BOSCH for us too. So far so good. Can’t recall the price, so not sure whether it’s below S$1k. White goods are nowadays quite competitive, so just go into any of those Best Denki/Courts and check them out

1st question: front load/top load.


Front load:
- option to use hot water wash (cleaner),
- uses less water,
- typically longer cycle (I remember my mum’s electrolux, high end model, took like 2 hours to complete the load; my own top load is about 45min),
- typically more expensive.

Top load:
- hot water usually not available unless you pre installed hot water pipes,
- uses loads more water,
- shorter cycle in comparison,
- can be much cheaper in comparison.

Bosch is a good brand. Personally, my family is used to Electrolux - this one can withstand ‘abuse’. Miele another good brand but that one pricey though I heard it can last a good long time.
