My 10kg Samsung top loader still working good until now. Already 15 years.

thanks for sharing and prefer top load...front load can be really expensive isn't?

yeah did service it and it act up again after warranty finish
thn sell it to my neighbor and he doesn't mind to repair it himself

indeed budget wise it is fitting my wallet haha
seems like midea is not too bad, altho some would say opt for other

guess it is also based on luck for samsung products
i won't mind to buy samsung again in future cz now feeling to try brand never use before

We had Electrolux for 10years, worked well, then one of the board needed change, we could have spent on it, but decided to go alittle bigger hence went with Hitachi, since their warranty was longer. Been working well for the past 8yrs now.

I dont think there is such a thing as best brand, but some brand do produce good model, but that doesnt mean all their range of models are equally good!

To me, basically I list down my preferences, such as washing timing adjustments, hot/cold, number of rinse, load, warranty, etc. Then I source for a product that closely meets it. Again depending on budget jugak la!

agree that no best brand and everyone has different experience of using it
im also trying to meet my requirement and see what other been using

At my previous rented place, I split with my landlady on buying a Midea 7.5kg Top Loader back in late 2014. Can't remember the price but bought from Lazada around RM600.

Don't have pic of it but looks like the model already discontinued. Only sad part is no detergent tray or place so need to taruk inside the tub with the clothes before I start washing.

We use it like 4-5 times per week but still working fine until I left the place last December.

Also even on delicate mode... it spin way too fast so it already tarik so many baju until got hole.

Have used Midea washing machine before.

It'll get the job done, but don't expect it to be ummm, how wud I describe this "high-quality endurance?"

Used it about 3 times a week, less than few months already got rattling sound. So, I'm trying to say is, the washing machine doesn't stay like 'newly bought performance' very long.

But it is still alive after 3 years of using it before I sold it.

But the one thing I like about this washing machine is that it is very powerful. You can overload it and the whole thing can still spin like a torrent (talking about its wash cycle, not 'spin' cycle).

TLDR: It'll get the job done. But if you wash every day, I dunno man....for student can lar. Also if you live in a flat, also need to consider. Afraid you also like me, less than few months already got rattling sound, kenot wash at night time lol.

thanks for sharing ur experience...that's quite a good deal but since discontinue thn a bit regret that can't buy it

not much space to allocate it so can't go more than 8kg
anything below 8kg is enuf for my fam so far

thanks for ur summary...really can't stand with rattling tbh...will take note about it

i have the 10kg one... overall very good performance. .
only issue is no comforter inlet .

Pretty reliable, my I don't know how many years midea still alive & kicking

good to hear and appreciate your sharing

yes midea is fine

Not necessary, some top load can be more expensive than front load. You have any concern on the washing machine size? If size doesn’t matter, just choose based on the feature which you need. Example, some top load able to do hot wash but those cheaper one usually cannot

I have the same model.
if you got more money better dont go for this model...I’ve been using it almost a year.Sometimes it will suddenly stop like gear stuck when I wash the clothes and I need to manually continue. This issue usually happen when I wash almost full load

7.5kg very small not really good, at least get a bigger one. These days all washing machine are pretty much made with plastic materials, will eventually break within 5 -8 years.
Now some manufacturer claim that it comes with 10 years warranty. The truth is your electronics can be 1 year, the digital display also 1 year, the plastic housing material 1 year warranty, the mechanical part 10 years all only 1 time claim

Go for it. Served me well
The 7kg unit is very powerful
So delicate baju better use front load.

Midea lumayan la....
Bought 7.5g midea for my rented house, and the house is somewhat sold....
No heard of any issue neither.

never try never know!!
learn to take risk on certain things...

Louder than other washing machine
