lawry 3 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 are you using a top load or front? I'm contemplating between this 2... This one really, 2 different preference by 2 different group of people. Some say front load much better, uses lesser water, not so harsh on clothes. Some say top load is not all that bad. I settled for front load because I buy all that claims. It's definitely more expensive, but a mid end front load at a good discount can be the same price as a high end top load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad that you read, I gave a more complete explanation of this -blame sharing- which you thought was ridiculous. Thinking back at what you said, maybe you were right after all. The mods didn't give a reason why or how for locking it. So now we are posting all over the place. No idea if I'm allowed to open another T blog for such a purpose.

Guest melancholic Report post Posted May 5, 2009 I heard that in time to come, washers that do not have the label which shows that they are water-saving, will not be allowed to be sold in Singapore. Not sure how true that is. I was recommended a Sanyo top loader which purportedly uses more than 1/3 less water for a full load wash compared to other brands. (i.e. other 9kg top loader may use 55 litres of water for a full load while the Sanyo may only use 30+ litres). If it is really true, then I will seriously consider getting washers like this that use less water. Not just its greener, but also the great reduction in my water bill. Am currently staying with my in-laws. the 8.5 kg washer here is over-worked... full load every 2 days.. cos its 5 adults and 2 kids living here. Just imagine the water we will save.. and the reduction in bill!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, only me and my wife using it, so not sure whether to get the 7kg or the 8kg one le... Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi greenpeace, we are thinking of getting the panasonic top load 9kg because of the Aquabeat and Ag stuff etc etc....but was informed by another forummer that several pansonic users warned that for panasonic, there is an exposed screw at the bottom of the drum and so stray threads might get caught in it and get damaged in the process. I flipped thru my panasonic brochure and indeed saw an exposed screw but i am not sure if it really wld caused the above said problem. Dunno other brands of washing machines have this exposed screw thing anot. will go check it out at the electronics shop tml. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed i have noticed abt the exposed screw as well... my initial worry was rusting, now really dunno if i should be getting the panasonic one since there are so many "potential" probs... I have checked the hitachi one, no exposed screw etc... but not sure if it is good or not... but one thing for sure, the hitachi one look "slimmer" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
