my old washing machine brand HAIER gave up after 12 years. i do not wish to repair it anymore.

so i'm looking for a new washing machine with budget around 1.5k to 2k.

can recommend some?

Toshiba, Samsung, Bosch
Please don't buy Beko

Front or top? If want to wash a lot of clothes then get the top one.

Can rekomen the toshiba sdd inverter model.

i'm open to suggestion within budget 1.5k - 2k

Use Beko washing machine for 10 years. Repaired a few times. Plan to replace it if it starts having problem again

LG

what's wrong with Beko ?

Inb4 German brand bought over by Turkey

LG Frontloading

I always swear by Electrolux

But 2k budget not sure can get

Ayam using 1 Beko and it is by far the worst washer ever
BTW does yours keep on hanging?

Like when it reaches certain time, it will stop, then u need to press start again to complete, then after 10mins it stops again and u need to press
My fucking Beko sometime a 2 hours load can drag until 4-5 hours because we forgot to press

get any as long from known brands. should be fine

My sharp machine not stable anymore. When wanna spin it always bergegar and i have to adjust the cloth. It makes really loud sound. Can someone tell what's going on before i send it to repair?

electrolux is front load? maybe i should consider increasing my budget

panasonic front loading is gooding though

No, i dont have stop issues. The screen has blurred, we cant see whats the status, so sometimes it didnt start we didnt know, walked away, came back to realise it didnt start at all. Replacing it damn expensive

Shitty brand I tell u
Ayam rather be less fancy and choose asian brand instead

Not sure I don't use Beko. Sorry to hear this. Must be terrible experience, machine shld automate but instead become nightmare for you.

I use swedish electrolux, so far so good. 4 years going.

My Beko washer bergegar like earth quake. It can move position

Docile

Yes front load.

I can stack a dryer on top since its front load.

I think it’s a Turkish brand, a gift from my mum, so we use it until now

for 8kg front load, do we need to put maximum 8kg of clothes or we can only put the clothes up to certain level (2/3 of the drum space)?

dunno, I just estimate

8kg is quite low, I think about 10kg.

Of course no, the less u put the longer your machine can last

LG direct drive.

Panasonic.
ceo684 come advise.

I heard LG washing machines are legendary

Planning to get one for my new house also

Been using Samsung long long long time

Much better than local / China brands

Samsung spare parts many too.

Certain things such as this where we cannot live without. It's ok to top up a bit. Save you all the hassle.

thanks. will consider increasing my budget

If you

1. Have no life due to no work life balance
2. Have no time due to always come back late
3. Too lazy to wash and dry out your clothes

Suggest to buy washer dryer combo. Put in clothes before going work, come back can lipat edi. So convenient.

A number of things but most likely its the drum going kaput. If liddat better just get a new machine since a drum replacement is quite expensive already.

bro...why not SHARP? i bought one sharp topload for my tenant, i dont know what happened but the somehow the water catchment area broke and couldnt retain water, of course under warranty, tukar once and lasted until now. i guess its gonna be 6 years!!!

of course i am using samsung topload as well, bought from AEON display unit...rosak one time at 8th year using, changed absorber (the spring thingy on the sides x4) during 1st MCO...working until now, coming to 10 years!!!

i have 1 of this midea MFW series.
perform well and just the same with my other Panasonic WM .

Where u buy bosch wasching machine?

And hows the service and parts availability? Easy to find ppl for service/repair and parts?

bosch washer drier

Harvey Normal got

Hows the service and maintenance? Easy to get ppl to repair it?

Sorry ayam taktau
Was just suggesting

For bosch, the spare parts will be shipped directly from germany. No local spare parts for their machine. For repair, better just call their service team.

Lead time for spare parts is usually around 1~2 months.

Oh ok, thanks. Hows the charges for the service team? Is it on the high side?

And is bosch reliability is good? If really good, then i might try this as my next brand.

Panasonic always

And get a wm with timer.... When to start/end washing. Really useful.

Those days when I required to work in the office. I'll set it start to wash at 5am. So that when I'm awake at 6am, I can straight away sidai the baju.

My previous wm was a Bosch. Used for about 14 years. No breakdown.
Only require to replace the drum stabilizer/ strut absorbers once due to wear and tear.
And when it hit 14 years plus the absorber worn out again. That's when I decided to give it away and bought a new wm. Panasonic this time.

Where do u get those parts? Direct import from Germany?

A few factors to consider.
1. Condo or landed? If condo, then space is a premium so front loaders are better for that. Otherwise, stick with top loaders since their capacity is usually higher for lower price.
2. Number of occupants. If you have 4-5 people, definitely look at getting at least 12kg or higher. You waste more water/electricity doing multiple loads.
3. Maintenance. Choose a good brand that has local warranty and repair services. Don't wanna wait for spare parts to get shipped from another country.

My technician came back the next day with the absorbers.

I believe the common spare/replacement parts are available in msia . Don't think Bosch operates in such inefficient way as described by a forumer .

Toshiba is good alternative for best value washing machine

Actually the charge for their service team is quite fair. When my parents machine had the drum replacement, the service fee is only around rm180. The bulk of the bill went to the parts.

In terms of reliability, no difference than other brands i guess. But their staff did tell me, try to never overfill your machine. That should prolong the life of the machine and the drum.

Alright, thanks for the feedback. Sounds promising. Gonna look at this brand next.

i dont really recommend 2 in 1

either wash not clean enough ; or not dry enough

now i am using separate with cheapo dryer ; i feel the cheapo dryer works better than formal 2 in 1

my LG top load is giving way after more than 10 years....

recently went to Aeon and saw sharp top load design nice nice... but not yet decide wanna buy which brand.

is buy online better?

If condo. Push and carry yourself.
Landed push in easier.

defak?

which one is it?

Send to technician to check first la. If drum set broken, will cost around 600 plus. The balancer only about 300 plus. If absorber set also about 300 plus.

if u aim for front load. may be can wait a little bit, toshiba got new front load washer with iot
https://www.toshiba-lifestyle.com/my/washin...sher-tw-bl95a2m

LG direct drive inverter front load 8kg
cant remember how many years already
initially very quiet
now started to make noises
for shop, try TBM

FL front load
I am using a Bosch Serie 4 8kg in my rented HDB..quick wash 15-30 min, else heavy load can go 60mins, holds up well for a few pax to wash separately (single user loads)
Else I'd recommend LG direct drive 10kg+ models (bigger is better if u wanna wash blankets or many towels)
Most of the issue is because ppl buy small machine and expect kancil to pull containers.
Proper sizing (10kg+) is important for family loads
ALL FL need to ventilate (keep door open) to prevent moldy gasket
FL spin look for higher rpm, the advantage is clothes spin till very dry can dry off in 1 day hang outside (even partially shaded)

TL
semi auto sharp is cheap but slow to fill the 36L. water is cheap in MY.
else can consider the sharp 10kg, i think its not bad smooth drum won't spoil dresses

TL toshiba older model also not bad lah if u wanna save money get a used one about RM400
common issue all can settle with parts from hairul vcool DIY youtube videos
Toshiba drum a bit harsh on clothes tho. Many runs on my clothes :sob:

TL rpm lower for spin so clothes not as dry.. u spin max or spin double also same issue. OK if u have a sheltered place to hang clothes but generally FL "out from tub" is dryer.

Toshiba should be safe enough if your on a budget

Only tried khind before.. Not really satisfied since it manual.. Need to find a new one huhuh and probably wanted an auto washer so i could do my work more properly and not waste my time

The I tell you this

All washing machine break down

So now comes the spare parts and after sales

Can't beat Samseng.

manual vry hard la to use.. especially if u work till night.. then need to do all the laundry by yourself..

Tru bro.. Thts why now im looking for new one.. Just need to make sure the right function im looking for that is gentle for babies

one of the most important features is, ability to take apart and clean it.

i clean my Toshiba every 12 months, its like new everytime.

most manufacturer use normal iron screw that can rust after a while. highly recommend to change to stainless steel screws.

If u want to last long, get bosh front loader


Or any good front loader. Last longer than top loader

Whats the big idea with front loader?

It doest use complicated gears like top loader and the casting (heavy weight) keeps it sturdy with suspension arm supporting below.

Simple design but efficient in cleaning. That's why it is pricer but can last long. Don't even need to service

Mine still running fine since 2015.

cn check from panasonic. i think its also a good one since u dont need to use detergent as much and it has uv light also.. the model is NA-V11FX2LMY

Samseng after sales service really that gooding ah ?

The UV does not clean but just kill germ (supposedly)

Ohhh ya la.. Tht one latest model right?? My friend also suggested me tat.. It cn wash everything in 38 minutes.. Can add to cart ready hahahaa

I have a LG 10KG 6 motion washer (WF-HD100WM) (Top Load and a DDM type) and used it for 7.5 years then the lid-lock issue cause it to not be able to retain water. Was quoted by one of LG service center around RM275 to fix it. I think 7.5 years isn't bad. The price was around 1.5K back then. But when I tried to look LG washer again, and the price now is around 2K and above for such capacity. It has increased quite a lot and the built does not look as good as my old LG unit. Also my old unit has more features and function than these new ones. Inflation is crazy!

A sales person at Lionmas highly recommended to me a Haier 12kg washer with DDM and inverter (HWM120-M1990DD). The price is around 1.8K. It does look kinda fancy but it's a phased out unit as it has been replaced by a new version of it. I was initially tempted because of the price and the DDM inverter plus the 5 Energy Rating. What held me back was my bad experience with China brand - I have a Midea AC before and it broke down by 2nd year.

I think Toshiba (AW-DUK1300KM) 12kg inverter is a good option and better bet @ RM1650. 2 years general warranty, 3 years PCB and 10 years motor.
