Planning to move out at the start of the year
Most of the places are unfurnished or semi-furnished
So I need to buy some big ticket appliances
Washing Machine is one of em


I like front loaders much more though

Get front loader.
No regrets

My previous Bosch front loader lasted me more than 14 years, only serviced once to change the absorbers.

Still working fine when I give away this WM , because I wanted to have inverter WM.

Now using Panasonic front loader, almost 3 years still going strong.

Have use 2 top and 2 front loader.

Current is a lg front.

Next will still be a front.

Front load. Avoid Electrolux

frontloader is better

problem with top load is that all the baju tends to get wrapped up with each other. especially long bajus/long sleeves
front load tend not to have this problem
great water saver as well
but upfront more expensive

given that i had used both, i will stick with front load

T20 use front loader

Must learn from T20 to become T20

Top loader easier to damage clothes

I see women also like to sit on top of front loaders

Yup, LG front load is currently the best.

Here all use front loader..for advice on other method can go other forum..

Front load Borsch or LG.

Why duwan stiock with Borsch or LG?

Want to try Japanese brand.

Tumbling motion is effective in cleaning and taking care for the clothes.

JAV Plot...😈😈😅🤭

WASHBOARD

Using Panasonic top loader 11 years now. Rm 700 then 7.5kg

Wahhh so cheap
Nowadays all 1.1k+++ for jap brsnd

you want capacity, top load.
you want gentle washing to your clothes, front load.
you dont want to break your back, front load.
you want to look more atas, front load.
you want reliability, top load.

11 years back your curry noodle is only rm6.00.

If you want to save water. Front load.

buy expensive also got issue if didn't do proper maintanance.

our water rate is cheap.
the best way to save water is to minimize the number of woman/girls in the house.

dude, you only do maintenance when something breaks.
no one routinely change their washing machine shocks on yearly basis

probably the only maintaince can be done were cleaning the coin/lint filter, thats about it.

Front loader saves water, gentle on clothes. I'm using Samsung, not bad n looks good

Sanseng ah ... best of luck.

My previous is a Samseng, change to lg.

I have 3 Samsung fridge in 3 diff locations, 2 front loader washer, 2 qled tvs. All are reliable.

bought panasonic top loader below rm800 at aeon 3 years ago

Live alone?? Renting??

Those self service laundry places.

How else you gonna meet an awek/cewek?

Top load reliable? Hmmm I thought front load reliable

4.50 at my place

I run cleaning cycle one every 2 weeks with cleaning tabs

Hard to get at these prices nowadays

I generally don't like to waste time at those places.
I like to use my own detergents as the ones given by those places are an irritant to my skin

(1) don't mix washing and dryer. as with other All-In-One devices, one function breaks down means the whole thing can't use.

(2) don't mix washing and drying especially when you are using with (huge) family. why waste time waiting 1 load to finish end-to-end when you can multi-task in parallel with 2 separate machines.

(3) between japanese and korean brands, choose japanese for it's longevity and reliability. though not wrong to choose korean if you are the sort of person who changes devices every year or two 😅

Samsung Front Loader plus Dryer

buying or renting? if rent some landlords provide washing machine to be placed in the house, unsure if rent increase or not though

anyone using china brand hisense, haiier, midea front loaders? ok or not

Gua use a direct drive wa shiner dryer with auto dispensing thingy. But from ccp brand la, the dryer fan once rosak, due to laoya bearing. Change to jap bearing then ok liao. If you the guy know hands on repairing stuff , can get whatever brand saja. Else like other said, get separate unit. Cleaning the all in one dryer fan is a tedious job.

Gua use CCP brand Kakwen Ohman h20 approve one viomi, . Errrrr overall quality control abit cannot.

Both are reliable. Nowadays no different.

Advantage of front loader is it save water.

My advice. No need to ask.
Just use branded ones.
The price is not far off anyway. Just top up a bit.

toshiba ok ?

Get a front load washer dryer combo. It's usually cheaper than buying 2 separate devices and takes up less space. Plus you'll save time since it can wash and dry in one go.

top load is simpler by design, thats the reason why it is cheaper. top load washer dont even need counterweights and shock absorbers.
but that doesnt mean that front load will be extremely unreliable.

For large household, not recommend. The job done take very long time.

Combo ideally for 2-3person load wash.

I use LG combo.

Does Extra Wash and Extra Rinse make the clothes cleaner?

Samsung lazada 12.12

Front cum loads....

Pre detergent and post rinse detergent does.

Why does everyone likes to use driers?
I find drying them out under the sun to best

buy samsung

Convenient is the keyword.
No worries of going out and left your clothes under the rain.

wah actually helpful insights here, ayam only used top loader all my life so ayam only have experience with that.

Because dryer is cleaner especially for people living in cities where dust could easily land on your clothes.

And of course, time. Hanging clothes to dry is time consuming. And if you don’t have a proper drying area, putting your foldable drying rack in your porch is an eyesore.

And dryer’s electricity consumption only costs you RM1 per day.

musim hujan also no need worry.

also I heard there's this hack where you can throw ice cubes into your drier and your baju will come out like ironed cantik cantik dy. never used a drier before so I haven't been able to verify this.

front loader washes cleaner
top loader cheaper
washboard, need waifu labor
bucket mangkok lu sei sohai

Get rid the detergent.

I sometime get rash from detergent residue on cloth. So I always use extra rinse.

It is also for baby cloth.

It is heaven in this monsoon season.

You will see more people go to coin laundry for the dryer in raining season.

My only issues with dryers is wrinkles, esp on T-shirt pants
coming from bosch or general brands
I generally don't iron nor fold my clothes,
Most of them are on a rack and that's how I dry them as well


Bucket = rendam

Samsung front load lasted 10 years before the absorber mounting on the drum housing broke

Bought a replacement unit for the same price I paid 10 years ago.

I use Samsung front load. 8 years already.

One time breakdown the drum arms patah cannot pushing due to my wife overload baju dalam washing machine.

Repair RM600+

But still strong still now.

Planning to buy new one when moving to new house next 2 years. Hopefully it's doesn't breakdown in this 2 years since will becoming 10 years.

I been rendam-ing for years...

The tumbling motion of the clothes in the front loader will make you feel cleaner. But the rubber door might get moldy.

Severity of the wrinkles can be reduced if y get good dryer.
I’m using electrolux brand. Ok je

Engine powered

Only lazy people will get moldy problem



I never have this problem

After using, just wipe down the rubber gasket.
Leave the door and the detergent holder open. Let it have air circulation and dry
Once in every few months, do a tub mode cleaning. I do mine every 3 or 4 months. Just ran the tub clean yesterday. Whole cycle takes about 3.5 hours.

I like top loader.

Front loader must bend down. throw clothes in it will fall out.

Top loader just throw everything in and throw in some soap kaotim. And if forgot to put some clothes in can still add in later.

Combo don't dry well isn't it

Correction - stuck inside front loader door

That's because you are over loading it.

Oh nos just boughted its washer & dryer stacked together. What's wrong with samsung? Spill plz

Use it for 10-12 year.
Kaputed.
Water pump x 2
Water actuator x 1
Pcb x 1
Door hinge cracked (no water leaking)

It's still working well when I retire it albeit shaky when spinning n louder.

Combo don't dry well, split unit much better.

Stay away from combo, I learn it the hard way.

Combo requires cleaning and maintenance every few yrs.

The lint clogs the sensor and the air return duct.

Do not overload the drum 1/2 line for tumbling.

I still use combo and dry well the cloth.

Wrinkles only happen if you keep your clothes in the dryer or in the basket for too long after it finished drying. Normally if you don’t just let you clothes sit in the dryer or in the basket for too long, you don’t even have to iron your clothes.

And Bosch even have “reduced ironing” function that would keep rotating your clothing at certain interval after finished drying, to keep your clothes from creasing.

Front load can use normal detergents or die die must use low suds detergents?

Looks cool though.

Not sure about support lol

anyone have recommendation on dryer?

wait until a component rosak, macam x70, need to buy from taobao

Any heat pump dryer I would say.

I see poll front loader is more popular, is it that good?

Use top load from childhood until now, never considered front load.

Everyone in my household insist on top load saying front load have potential failure mode of door leaking water but idk la about modern designs

I see

so I assume this one is good then

https://shopee.com.my/Samsung-Dryer-(8KG)-C...2e-6ca488ffd398

I can’t comment on the brand because I have never use one. I am skeptical about Samsung’s reliability so I would avoid them. But if you have confidence in Samsung, then you could try.

I use Bosch at home. I would recommend them to people. But Series 8 only I would say.

Your household all still stuck in the 1970s and 1980s is it.

Lol

If rental, doesnt bother la
any washing machine that save money and save efforts are good washing machine for renting

Using bosch front load for 9 years..so far no issue yet, but front load usually have smaller capacity compared to top load. If u want to wash mattress protector and comforter, better go for top load.

ok, I'll check the bosch also

budget out...

yeahhh

Panasonic have if not mistaken

I think most established brands have their own heat pump models in their lineup.

must have feature, heat pump and ability to set wide range of drying temperature

steam & auto moisture sensing is great, but those parts don't last long

Front loader is supposed to be gentler on clothings.

Under normal use, and as long as there is sufficient water for the load, I doubt people can tell the difference.
