What brand yr washer? Top or front loading?

 

U overload n still can last 8 yrs damm solid.

 

My machine just kaput. Brandt. Not very good as it only lasted 5 yrs b4 konk out.

 

mine also Brandt 8kg so far so good buy only 4 years ha ha

[macrosszero]

Haha yeah man...nowadays even Euro brands oso MIC...seriously lah. How bloody high can the cost be if you make in Europe?

 

Ask around specifically for Made in Japan, Germany, UK or Czech or whatever, then compare against Made in China, Thailand or Malaysia. Costs can be easily 20% more for similar spec. I bought Korean brand made in Korea......

The weekend that Courts or Harvey Norman have no supposed 'sale', you better worry, it means the world is coming to an end.

When I spoke to the sales guy he told me the top end ($1800) washing machine still from germany.

 

Maybe their cheaper models or other Bosch appliances made in Poland.

 

Reminds me of this Polish joke.

 

How many poles does it take to change a light bulb?

Ans: 10. Cos u need 1 to hold the bulb n the other 9 to turn the room around.

I asked about 1 Panasonic washing machine abt $450. Salesman said now panasonic not like b4. The WM is made in Turkey.

[Pisces69]

Still better than China.

 

 

Anywhere is better than China. Thai, Indo, Phillipines or Msia even.

[Pisces69]

mine also Brandt 8kg so far so good buy only 4 years ha ha

 

 

My 7KG Brandt 5 yrs just kaput. So u got 1 more year to go. Hahaha.

 

But seriously. Maybe yrs might last. Sometimes is luck. Sometimes is how u use.

Compare Germany made to China can b double even.

 

I checked on Samsung n LG. Seems now many of their cheaper models made in Thailand already.

 

If made in Korea, Sud still b very good.

The MIJ Sanyo at home has been problem free since 2001. Wash full load 4x a week.

 

I think it's worth paying a little more for MIJ electronics

Last time my Bosch washing machine, also made in germany, if I remember correctly.

Every 2 years must replaced shocks or it will jump around and make noise like a jackhammer.

Cost me initially $1000, and every 2 years $150 to change shocks.

After 2 times of shock changes, I had enough and junk it.

 

I bought a F&P top loading, use it for another 7 years before the water pump spoiled,...two times.

Junk it.

 

Now use a "free" top loading Toshiba I won as a prize. No problem. Cheap and good.

 

I had enough of expensive front loaders, full of problems.

 

Cheapo top loaders, I can afford to throw away even with 5 yr usage is good enough.

 

When the Toshiba dies, I'll just get another Samsung or LG top loader.

 

I had enough of expensive front loaders.

Sanyo is too reliable and too low profile until bankrupt. Don't think can find new Sanyo stuff except batteries and video cam.

i still prefer the korean brand...lasting and prices are cheap.

 

my current LG 5.5Kg had been using for the past 12 - 14years. cant even remember the exact year.

didnt even breakdown at all. only change the net that collect the dirt.

[Fuelsaver]

so when can they develop a machine that can weight the laundry and signal thats we have hit the capacity?? :(

 

this is some simple feature i just wondering why they can include it?

Think Panasonic econavi series has load sensor.

I'll take ur advice bro. Front load takes 2x longer to wash n can't load clothes halfway tho saves more water. I oso concerned about silicon lining replacement.

 

On side note, my f&p lasted 2 decades, now is valve slow water flow n electronic outta sort keep go back start cycle.
