Recommend a washing machine, please?

[zensushi]

Current Samsung washer started to have issues yesterday. Thought of retiring it. Convenient excuse to shop shop a bit.

This top load WA80F5S7 (8 kg) washing machine has lasted almost exactly 5½ years.

Quite keen to try front load washers. Anyone has brand(s) & model(s) to recommend?

Just bought a few packs of washing detergent powder... If I get a front load washer, might have to give the remaining packs to the neighbour.

tbh the best ish Samsung and LG already. Maybe you can try jump to LG this time. If not stacking then Top load ish still better if not your back jialat.

We have a separate gas dryer...& the helper does all the laundry. My back is still jialat, regardless.

Shall check out the LG washers.

Have heard this quite a fair bit on EDMW with regards to fridges & washing machines.

Shall see if there are Hitachi models on show.

5.5 years? you have been short changed. Jap brands should last at least 10 years.

Panasonic for top load.

Bro. LG direct drive. No horse run.

 

[chiko_tosca]

Only Miele.. simple design, compact and sturdy + quiet! Front loading

 

[MoeLanYong]

I got a Xiaomi front load. Large capacity. Dryer function included. Cheap. Around $500+. Win already.

 

[ballastic90]

Samsung or LG

 

[Tony.Manero]

LG Direct Drive or Panasonic Cuble. Don't bother with anything else.

it's true. not only that, it's gentler on the clothes.

Still working...but since yesterday helper complained that need to power off & restart a few times.

Anyway, for fridges & washers, I'd rather replace them before too long. The thought of using them for decades is...icky.

If u can dismantle the seal and replace the seal, u can top up with ur own HE detergent.

Unless Miele is using some barcode or anti-tamper system.
