I'm not too fussy abt washing machines... but since this thing is a washer dryer, it's a bit of a novelty to me.

Coming from top loaders my whole life, I'm shocked at how little water it uses. I converted the shower area in my spare bathroom (which nobody uses anyway) into a laundry room where I installed the washing machine...at first I thought it wasn't as quiet as I thought it would be, but it could be that the sound is amplified by the enclosed space.

Uses direct drive, so no rubber pulleys to start slipping & squealing after 10 years. Got an inverter motor to save electricity. 10kg load capacity means it's way more practical & realistic than those puny 7kg types. The dryer function works like a bloody charm - you can set the temp, and it can get hot enough to completely dry a load of towels.

Overall, it isn't fancy with none of the bells and whistles of models costing twice as much. But it works exactly as advertised and for RM2800 for a 10kg washer/dryer, I'm pretty damn happy.

CAVEAT : IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A FRONT LOADER YOURSELF, MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL THE DRUM RETAINING LUGS PRIOR TO USING...!!!!

Our reno contractor installed ours after remodelling the bathroom, we didn't know they didn't remove em. During first time use, the bugger was rattling loudly & vibrating very badly, shaking itself apart on spin cycle. We thought we got a lemon! After RTFM, I realized the drum retaining lugs were not removed. These lugs fixed the suspended drum in place so that it would not bounce around & damage the innards during transportation & shipping, which also meant that the drum would transfer all the spin cycle rattles directly to the chassis. Removing them freed the drum so that it could float freely, allowing the drum springs & dampening weight to properly soak up the vibration & noise.
