Bluepica 4th Gear November 22, 2012 Share November 22, 2012 Buying washing machine also headache.... need it urgently. I have narrow down to Electrolux EWW1274, LG WD1485 and Samsung WD0804. All 3 are washer/dryer combo. Yup, I know some will say don't buy combo, but I need it because of space constraint at home. ok ok, take it that I insist want a combo, which one should I get? I'm impress with samsung what what bubble technology, but Electrolux have been a pioneer in washing machine, so quite trust worthy. LG have a better apearance. Samsung looks like a square safe-box. Both Samsung and LG have chrome door which light turn to rust (greenish bits) in times to come. Electrolux have grey paints coated door, which is nice, but the function is minimal compare to it's kim chi rival. Headache!!! Any one uses any of these? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic November 22, 2012 Share November 22, 2012 i've been doing some research on washing machines reliability. BUT not washer/dryer combo. So far in SG, i will just buy the cheapest Bosch/LG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter1_andy 1st Gear November 22, 2012 Share November 22, 2012 Top loading or front loading? You may want to consider washing machines that have at least a 5 year motor warranty (like Samsung). Skip European brands as they tend to bring a touch of class, and nothing else. Reliability is the most important especially as the washing machine will go through many wash cycles.

I'm using the LG one, combo washer and dryer. 8kg load with 4 kg dryer. Been using it for 4 - 5 years now.... no problem at all. Very quiet coz it's belt-less My door is chrome but i dont see any green bits yet. Anyway, you can use Brasso to clean off the green bits if they come next time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cars08 1st Gear November 22, 2012 Share November 22, 2012 mountings? for the motor? think he is referring to the door area where there is rubber...that part gets dirty overtime..it is all about maintaining n airing it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic November 22, 2012 Share November 22, 2012 Every washing machine manufacturer has it's own mixed consumer reports. The australian website is pretty good http://www.productreview.com.au/c/front-lo...g-machines.html Samsung is probably ok. But main issues is with bad QC and very loud noise if the machine is not "level" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to consider washing machines that have at least a 5 year motor warranty (like Samsung). apparently some people say that u can only claim the warranty once for the directdrive system. Not sure how true is that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
