congrats. front load > top load

Sadly many people still choose top load, because they got back pain etc, old guys unable to squat down without pain etc.

And funny part?
Get a top load with a quiet door that close itself slowly, but because of not used to it, the resistant of door is broken just by 1 month lol. tongue.gif
And lucky I was there when the installation happen, so got asking about do the balancing, else gonna broken again because of unbalance.
(yaya, yelling asking for the balancing, my parents just yelling back to me and said it no need balance one, lucky the old installer say want one... sweat.gif )

Just wondering, did front load got the filter?

I found out many young people don't care about the plastic filter, either get it dirty or damaged, aiyo... notworthy.gif

Yes, I also prefer top load, the strong kick is what's I want lol.
Lowest level water, the best hit.
If wanna let it lighter/soft to certain clothes, I just put inside the wash bag, done.

But what I don't understand is people who prefer light/soft hit on the clothes, buy top load, then put all the 8 KG clothes into single wash bag, making the silent type wash machine unbalance and making noise hitting wall damaging it lol.
If split into multiple bag and let it able to balancing it while soft the hit, I know la, but single bag... sweat.gif

Yes, people who don't know how to use a wash machine is the headache, not the type of top or front load. tongue.gif

When using a top loading washing machine..

Filling it up with clothes up to the brim (full load), is ok.... if the clothes are dry..

Sometimes i do pre-soak my white clothings with detergent and bleach .... before washing them in the machine..

The other day I loaded my pre-soaked clothes (quite heavy) with some dry ones to wash...

I put up to 3/4 loading only.... and it was overweight..

My washing machine spoilt 😭😭

The drum "dropped ".

I removed all the clothes...."pulled up the drum" ..

Tried to wash half of the load.... it worked... but spinning very weak....

I didn't bother to repair it.... afterall I've been using it for 15 years already.... it was a Fisher and Paykel.

Bought a new washing machine....
Front loading one. Bosch. 👍👍
It is so quiet.... love it..

Just like car, will spoil 1 day, those plastic and rubber band not last very long.
So far me faced are careless type lol, like coins suck on output causing water leak, the door using magnet field to detect door closing but bang of door causing it losing magnet, or the water load detector broken because of too electric solution instead of traditional solution lol.

Yes, the front load should be no need extra care about overweight/unbalance lol, but still, careless people still useless la.

Still waiting new type incoming, support detergent split into 3, have better cleaning solution because prevent reaction or oxidation.
But nah, 10 more years la. laugh.gif

Checked news, so far only support auto control on how many detergent should be put based on amount of clothes lol. tongue.gif

Long ago, I used a front loading one. Used to leave the door opened after use, to let it dry.
One day I found the door latch broken ... had to lift it up to close properly.

After that, I changed to top loading one. Now back to front loading lol.

Both types also ok to me, got pros and cons.

My new Bosch, has that I-DOS feature. Meaning it'll dispense the proper dosage of detergent to use. No worry of putting too much or too little.... not sure effective or not la.... but I think I can turn off that feature if not necessary.

Whatever machines also need to take care...I always empty all pants pockets, zipped up the pants, some clothes need to turn inside out before throwing them in the washing machine.

I also separate the colours... blacks in one load, whites to be washed another round, etc. All the bright orange and reds in another. Haha.

Yes, careless people is the reason.
Even you teach them how to use, it is mostly useless as they don't hear you said what....

Broken just buy new one ma, they rich. sweat.gif

For color, easy.
New clothes normally will wash first, if no color drop then put it together next time la. tongue.gif

Don't think nowadays clothes still drop color easily, but yes still can't rule it out la. laugh.gif
Because I got try wash those clothes that kena red sirap, no drop color, but the sirap smell still will coming out even after 5 times of washing lol. rclxms.gif
