Hi everyone,

I’m planning to get a front-loading washing machine for my mum (and possibly a dryer in the future). She’s previously used Zanussi and Electrolux (both front-loading), but lately, I’ve noticed many people recommending LG front-loading machines. The problem is, I’m not sure which model to go for since the information on their official website seems incomplete.

Any recommendations or advice? My parents and I live together, so I think a 10kg capacity should work well for us. Thanks in advance!

Then get her Electrolux if she's used it before, the same one exactly if possible

The Electrolux model my mum was using is no longer available as it has been discontinued. That’s when I thought, why not try another brand? I noticed a lot of people recommending LG.

My washing machine mechanic says Electrolux or any European named front loading machine. Even if all machines are made in China. Says last longer. Currently using Electrolux.

Miele super durable.

front loading washing machine

is LG still a good brand today?

I have used LG and Electrolux before.. both are good brand..

now I am using one from Midea. point to note is cheaper brand though the claim 7kg/10kg but the drum and the cover is much smaller. so you can't really get 7-10kg load.

just go have a look at the build for LG and Electrolux. the functions are all pretty much the same

im using LG 13 Kgs front load now, previous was bosch front load which lasted me for 10 years.

Bought last year latest model, works like a charm until today.

1 year is nothing if u ask me
my family's last LG washing machine lasted over 10 years until the whole thing is rusted

LG. Very good!
But don't buy the combo washer/dryer model.

LG F2721HTWV front load 21kg / 12kg washer & dryer. Been using it 3 times a week for 4 years.

can wash 1 king 2 queen bedsheets & 8 pillow covers in 1 go.

if it rains everyday, throw in cloths around 8pm and get it wash and dried the next day at 6am (but will have wrinkles...)

My LG front loader worked for 12years. So wise choice to go for LG.

Always go for the cheapest model of the capacity you have planned on. And now is year end, so there will be many items on sale. Try look for display unit of outgoing models. You will save a lot of money that way.

Don't chase after features as most probably you will not be using them most of the time.

Check your washing machine area whether your targeted machine can fit in or not. Also the drainage hole location, coz some washing machine has its drain pipe locked on the opposite side of drain hole. Remember to ask tech/installer to flip the pipe to the correct side.

I can’t say much about other brand since I have not used them, but Bosch FL served me well for the past 3 years.

I using 10.5kg front load LG.

I see there's a LG 10.5kg washer and dryer model FV1450S2W

People say don't connect to internet... Ada conspiracy something about the waster using gigabyte worth of data. Suspecting of spying or something.

May I ask if 2 in 1, like yours durable? Or get separate unit? How bout electric consumption?

My LG combo is already 14yrs old. Still running now.

Another good about LG is the spare parts is cheap and still available after 10yrs.

Toshiba srs

Using LG front load washing as well for 2 years now...macam still very good

Get direct drive punya, no load unbalance issue

My LG 2in1 is 14yrs old. Can't complain anymore.

Electric consumption is low provided the sun is pirioty. (Not frequent use)

But 2in1 is not suitable for big family and frequent wash.

Not frequent use on which mode? The dryer? How frequent per week? How many member considered as big family?

Your post doesn't mention why do you need to change your Electrolux...is it spoilt?

I owned 3 Bosch washer/dryer combo at all my residential units. All working fine and durable...energy saving too

I only wash 1-2x perweek for 2person.

It's also because I brought a bigger size 12/7kg. And bigger size save the consumption and longer lifespan.

More than 3person and a lot of washing perweek, the washing is occupy the dryer side time.

And drying take longer time too. Cause combo only can do 1 job.

As someone who owned an LG DD machine, I say this is not true at all.

My LG front load 7kg about 7-8 years liao. No issue so far.

3 times a week for 4 years with occasional air drying, works flawlessly everytime. i'm a lazy person deswai i don't buy a separate unit for dryer. i used to use the normal wash and air dry feature everytime on the 1st 2 years, but i grew tired of the wrinkles it makes on my cloths, so now i just either use quick wash (45 minutes) or quick wash and dry (1.15 hours - not entirely dry and still need to use fan to blow) function.

i dont really keep track of it's electrical consumption, but my bill is always below RM120 every month (with occasional air-cond usage).

I bought cheapest 10.5kg front load, Toshiba brand. Used to own Electrolux for 6 years. I would say that the current technology on the cheapest brand surpasses the mid-tier brand from 6 years ago. On the lifespan, currently on 2nd year, no problem. Time will tell.

Yours got issue? I got Panasonic front load and a ccp viomi direct drive one at home. When washing blankets, Panasonic non direct drive one always suffer from load balancing issue during the high speed spinning stage. The other dd one no issue .

It feels like the current Electrolux isn’t as good as the previous Zanussi, which lasted over 20 years (the Electrolux was purchased about four years ago).

I’m considering switching to a different brand since I’ve already tried two from the same manufacturer. I’ve noticed many people here highly recommend LG.

Zanussi - a brand long time no hear
thought dead already but still got, famous for their hobs n ovens back in the day
and apparently this Italian co is now owned / run by none other than......Electrolux

We used to have an LG washing machine > 2 decades ago

It was a top loader.

Very good - never broke down in the 11 years that we used it. The only reason we bought a replacement is because we need a bigger capacity.

But please don't buy Toshitba. We bought one to replace the LG. Bigger 12kg capacity. Direct drive somemore. Every 1 or 2 years something would go wrong with this machine necessitating the technician to come and repair.

The final breakdown was when the control board went kaput. No replacement part available. So we dumped it.

Replaced it with a CCP Hisense front loader. 10.5 kg. Cheap cheap. Most of the "kids" had grown up and there's less people living full time in the house. This CCP machine very rock steady no vibrations. Wash very the clean also

I just bought an LG front loading washing machine few months ago, so far so good but of course la its still new. Got the most basic 9kg DD model (FB1209S6M) cuz my needs are basic too
