no one here is expecting wm internals can jump la... unker... 

resume function is useful in certain situations.... just can't rmber which brand is that....

actually the dynamo ad din ask u to wait, the fler after rub straight throw into the wm to wash.

i did just that using top the other day on kfc oil stain, n d stain is still there... haha..

either top is useless or kfc using super junk oil ( as usual... )

bring up by the lifter and drop back to water,,,,,, 

this is the marketing gimmick used by LG to confuse consumers...

yes, it can happen... when ur wash load is like what? only a few clothes, then it can happen, drop down..

then how high is the drop ah?  the drum is only less than 2 feet? bout 2 feet?

yes very very gentle drop down 'beating'... i agree, tht's y FL is always gentle it is true...

in this vid, which i have posted earlier,

it is like more of a gentle tumbling....

clothes are at best rubbing against each other gently... slow massaging 

those old TL washer.. with the batang in the centre and non rotating drum, yes it will twist very hard...

clothes get tangled bcos only the pulsator is rotating, and the drum is static.

i have 2 of those washers... compared to the latest TL tht i'm using now....

the difference is huge..

the whole of msia is not like the mid/ upper/high c modern housing area tht u r staying ...

some areas will have power trips once in a while.... cos of nearby factory, or backyard industry overloading etc...

not only hitachi, but a lot of other brands have this auto resume function.. depends on which model...

wow..16kg seems like a huge WM. I also understand that TL has better electricity consumption than front load?

Would you suggest Panasonic for TL? I'm looking at something for 2 people.

One of the thing to understand is the context of why top loaders from North East Asia are also made for such large loads that we see 9-19kg.

In Seoul, I stayed in a traditional home that had a 17kg Tromme FL washer dryer with squarish doors. The sleeping on radiant heated floors on thin tatami with thick blanket necessitated such a product by the housekeeper. The blankets are really thick and large and Seoul can go down to -20 in harsh winters. If that's what we do or have a large household to manage, that should be fine. Otherwise for 2 ppl unless expecting the household to grow or to take in a sudden yearly spike in number of guests due to festive season or have very specific needs for frequently washed laundry, 7-8kg FL or 10kg TL should be ok. We sleep with quilt cover and fleece blanket so even a 8kg FL takes it ok.

We still need large washer in hot malaysia because we love comforters and super cool aircond!

Talk about wastage!

what features r u looking for?

of cos every brand n model have some pros n cons, so u will nid to decide.

LG, Samsung - can only be serviced by their company tech, can't buy ur own spare part.

Jap - any pomen can repair cos anyone can buy spare parts from their HQ.

LG - for that price, u get nice modern looking washer with paint, brush metal, glass top,
soft closing lid, no slap bam ( how long it'll last? )
no buttons, no plastic parts in tub, heater function, steam function, wash time 25 mins max... bla bla

jap- looks like big plastic tong, the plastic all look kinda flimsy, tub got alot of plastic attachment,,,,
max time wash 15-17mins. buttons tekan tekan..., sticker control panel ( the old stuff )

LG- auto lint removal ( effective? )

Jap... plastic lint catcher...

LG- board + general 1 year warranty.

Jap - board 2-3 years, general 2-3 years?

other details, u need to read the manuals n compare, LG sammy toshiba can DL manual , pana i think tarak..
so go read at MV jusco, no one will kacau u.. can read whole day.... 

so far how this LG washing machine performance in ur house?

hv u get yours? this unit is in my radar too

yup, using 11kg now, feel not enough power for comforter washing
most likely i will get toshiba since i need a 16kg with direct-drive + inverter - heater, further more it comes with 3yr control panel + 13yr mtr wty

Of course it is not quite during spinning.  I mean it is relatively quiet.  As it is placed at the back of my house. the noise doesnt bother me....no loud noise...just normal spinning noise.

I just bought Samsung Front Loader Washing Machine, Model WW90H7410EX/FQ.
First front loader washing machine i owed.

Still learn how to use it..

anyone has used samsung top load with wobble technology? i wonder how different is it compared with the Delicate function any washing machine has.

Why WM need so many fancy feature ? Isn't durability / last long is the main focus ?

Holly cow, my LG DirectDrive washing machine just dead after 1 year 2 months. First product and that will the last one ...

Last time my panasonic also mounting kong within 3 yrs, so I never trust panasonic WM again, after when to samsung top load has been using 4 yrs still like new condition.

That is depend on luck, all the electronic items would be same, just depend on lucky or bad luck from what you selected

not sure there is quiet or strong vibrate 

Hi guys. What do you think about Hitachi washing machine? A sales person highly recommended Hitachi out of other brands. Is Hitachi a reliable brand?

If you wanna see my 2 yrs old electronlux top load 11kg can be free of Ads for you, still moving like new, just the noise of spins will be slightly high and near the pump the water out from inlet to discharge outside drain... Jet spinning still without much stronger vibration like whole unit dance..

your washer really works like hell of everyday do 4-6 times 

i knew some model really not up to specs, like non vibration reduction, inverter direct drive too.. what you expected
