But out of curiousity, what make u want to buy Hitachi brand washign machine? It's Hitachi SF80KJ, topload, 8kg. Thanks in advance for helping me check out its price (including delivery fee)! Sumsung's 8kg topload machine is $439. Hehe I rather pay $10 more for a Japan brand although I know the machines are not made in Japan. I did a brief online search on LG, Sumsung and Hitachi washing machine reviews. Sumsung and LG machines use less water and electricity than Hitachi one, so they help to save on the utility bill. LG machines seem to break down more often than the other two brands. I was quite shocked to read that there are 2 forumers' grandmas, whose Hitachi washing machines are still working after 40 years. And there are a handful of other forumers, whose Hitachi washing machines are still working after 10 years. Above are my humble opinions. I may be wrong, as I didn't do readings on the different models. I think every brand has its pros and cons. It really depends on your individual preference and budget. I'm going for a cheap cheap washing machine, so I'm looking at only Asia brands. Edited March 9, 2010 by forgotten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I'm in a hurry to move into my house this weekend, I went to order Hitachi SF-80KJ ($450) & other applicances from Mega Store (Katong Mall) yest. Audio House (Liang Court) quoted me $469 yest. Courts doesn't carry it. I saw the other forummer got the best quote for Hitachi SF-80KJ ($430). U can try going to the same place as him to order it!

I also don't know where that forummer went to. Sure, I let you know my experience after I use it. But, whether it will spoil in 3 years, I will only know in 3 years time hehe. I'm moving to Sembawang. Salesman from Mega Store told us that there was an more advanced washing machine model from Hitachi. It's ~8.5kg, >$500, can set different RPM/spinning speeds. This 8kg model that I bought only adopt 1 single RPM for all washes. Besides washing machine, what other things are you also aiming to buy? I think if one buys more things, one has more bargaining power with the salesman. Edited March 23, 2010 by forgotten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yewmun@yahoo.com 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 Eh I thot that SF-80KJ model can select the RPM speed if I read the brochure correctly?or is it another model SF-80KJS? Or maybe those >8.5kg models then have this function? How come u say only know whether it will be spoilt in 3 years time? Thot they only give 1 year std warranty? Too bad I have already bought my full HD LCD TV at the Megamex exhibition last Dec if not I will be able to do the bargaining for more items to purchase. BTW, I read in yest's newxpapers that Audio House going to have 10 days of sales promotion whereby they will accept trade in for older items... hmmm must go and check it out think they starting this Sat...

There're only selections of washing time & no. of spins on my machine. Whether it's lasting anot, I'll only know in a few years time mah. The motor warranty is 5 years, other parts warranties are 1 year. Hope there's good deal for you to grab at the sales!
