How much are they? As it affects the decision process as well :P

Just some comments...avoid Korean brand if you can. They are affordable to buy but expensive to maintain. The Samsung washer at my mum's place breaks down a few time during warranty period and I did noticed an increased in my utility bill as well.

Really? Which model is that. Gain City salesman tells me LG (former GoldStar) use to produce for a whole host of other brands before coming out on their own.. that would mean they have lots of experience.

Hello all

Eventually bought a LG - WD-14331AD. 8KG washer and 4Kg dryer.

Priced at 929

Find the price reasonable. Got it from HV at funan. To my surprise, I can still slash prices at HV.

Anyone interested to buy from HV? I can recommend you the sales guy i liase with, very good and friendly.

Frankly,

I think korean brand are ok, moreover now even japanese, european, american products many of them are made in china, thailand.

So no different. I do have bias against product made in china, but not in thailand.

Due to my nature of work, i worked with ppl from china and thailand before for some times. The thais will be more careful with their work. and more serious also.

Chinese are prone to errors, some small errors just close one eye.

Therefore, i think it is ok to buy korean products, but dun buy product made in china.

Usually, they wun print out MADE IN XXX, but only put MADE BY LG, MADE BY SAMSUNG.

So it is impt to ask the sales guy or even call up the maufacturer (which i did) and ask for the correct information.

But frankly, sometimes buy electrical product is a "heng-sway" thing.

For example, I got myself a HTC touch for almost 1 yr liao, now still going strong and no problem at all. BUt my friend also got the same phone, went in to service center 2 times in the 1st yr liao. So is a matter of heng sway. To choose from country of manufacture is to reduce the "sway-ness" to the minimum.
