Front Load Washers - Whats A Good Brand?

Featured Replies

I am a true believer of front loaders, as they are gentler with the clothes and the hot water functions work better than top loaders. I have been walking arounf washer shopping but there seemed to be so many brands now.

I am looking for continental types, so zooming down to Bosch, Maytag, Electrolux, Fisher. Miele is out of my price range. Looking for expert advice.

Thanks!

thanks bro,

zoomed down to a few now, will enquire more when im at the shop.

shocking that maytag is not on the list at all, does this mean they are very inefficient?

I am still undecisive on whether to get a Top Load or Front Load Washer.

Front Load Washer: Uses less water but more electricity

Top Load Washer: Uses more water but less electricity

After some calculation, I noticed that the cost per wash load (using current water and electricity tariffs) for Top Load and Front Load machines don't differ much, i.e. $0.10 per wash at most. However, the cost of buying a 8kg Front Load Washer is so much higher.

Currently I am using a Top Load Washer, so when I need to use hot water to wash bed linen, I'll boil a kettle of water and add into my Top Load machine. It's troublesome, but no choice for now.... :P

Anyone using or have feedback on MayTag front load washer? Thanks much!

How about Samsung?

I'm in the same situation. Can anyone advise LG or Samsung is better?

I narrow it to LG F1422TD and Samsung WF8804. Both almost the same...(price, spec and function)

me too. I have no idea which is better, being a first time house owner, so i just based it on price...

I think u refering to WD8804 instead of WF? The one with washer dryer and air-wash function?

for same load and same function got the WD8804 at a cheaper price so i jus bought that. Cant comment on the functions cos delivery is this weekend..

Hi, I bought the LG 7 kg front load washer which comes with "Baby care" function. Model is WD1070. I chose LG in the end because I was told that the mechanism that rotate the drum is different design from the others and supposed to be quieter and less vibration. But I have not gotten delivery yet so I don't know if it's really the case. But price was very reasonable.

i finally got the MFW108 from Maytag.

Looks kind of boring but i got it at a steal, so i guess its fine.

Has been working fine these past week, very satisfied!
