But you only state you are using different after being busted. Fell down already still want to pick some dirt up? Lame.

Please lah you are the one assuming things. If you are in this sub forum long enough, you would know I've mentioned before I use a front loader

Just bought today Washer Electrolux 8KG EWF10842 for RM2,000@Jalan kepong..

always be my selected electrical store.

Bigger WM do have many advantage. And it is all the time.

I brought a FL 12kg combo WM not base on how many person. My minimum spec is, the drum must able to chuck in the comforter. Mostly able to wash comforter is start from 12kg for FL. And must have this wash function mode too. Many don't have this washing mode. That put the lifespan at risk.

Bigger WM can reduce my frequent wash. I only wash once a week due to bigger drum. 5x a month include comforter. That save water, electricity and the WM lifespan. Anpther save is the detergent. 5kg of detergent last me a yrs.

My bill doesn't increase much with this 12kg WM. That include sometime using the dryer too. mostly for comforter. RM65-70 for electricity and water still is free. Never pay a sen for water since many yrs.

Well, my TL 10KG JVC WM that is the most simple function already used for 8 years and still standing strong. Do I need many types of washing mode? Nope, as at the end, the WM still using water, spin, drain and spin again. Or you want to say your FL can jump also?

wf-hx120gv rrp = rm1999

quote from some shops...

HLK - 1699
TBC - 1720
TBM - 1750
Senheng - if member minus duno ? %
ESH - forgot, just call them
Onking - ?
Harvey - LG fler i met there said can get 1799.


these are my own assumption and opinion aft spending some time deciding/researching between fl tl...which brand...

don't trust any advice frm sa, they will come out with any cock n bull when they want to dispose certain model....
today this good, trow that good...

washers today the quality is not the same like 10-20 years ago...

any brand/model will have the tendency to break down... luck is important...
(maybe those expensive ones will have lesser chance)

For malaysia -
Samsung, LG - won't sell spare parts to consumers and dealers. ( called their cs to confirmed )
want to repair need to call them directly.

Pana, toshi, sharp, hitachi, electrolux - u can go there and buy parts on ur own.

LG is one of the world's largest washer manufacturer, top selling in US for several years,
their washer is sold in alot of countries.

Japanese brand mostly in SEA... can't even get/DL their user manual to study.

tbc....

Just bought a samsung TL 10.5kg WM.been using a few times since i got it 2weeks back.so far so good.as for comforter today i try to wash a queen size comforter with the bed sheet,booster and pillow case.all set in. Anyone using this WM? As seems like many start using FL WM...

Hopefully this WM will last me long time...

I never buy electric appliances from all the shop you mentioned, those shops are for people that opt for installments.
Cheap does not mean bad, expensive does not mean good. And for washing machine, which ever that having the less electronic parts tends to last longer.

2 weeks? Long time more to justify. But try put in the comforter and see how much space you have, then only decide to put in more or not.

When it comes to big ticket items, TV, fridge and washing machines, probably the more likely to fail these days would be TV and washing machines. TV due to the amount of electronics, washing machines due to the mechanical stress from usage. To compound it, the newer WM models these days tend to fail earlier, also because of the additional electronics. All the shops I went to tell me the same story that PCBs tend to fry.
The first WM I used was a FL Electrolux Washer Dryer (probably bought around 1997) and it was still going strong when I moved out in 2013. A complete lack of fancy electronics was the probably reason
These days I'm not too sure yet but I bought an extra warranty package on those items just in case...

Already tried this morning,full set queen size comforter with bolster,bed sheet and pillow case.still got soace for like 3-5piece of tshirt...but wont be doing so :-)

So, can fit in and still have space.
As said, a 10KG already more than enough for day to day usage and once a while heavy laundry washing.
BTW, I'll ditch that comforter and use that comforter cover only. This is how I reduce my electric another rm30-40 a month.

Yes can fit...is queen size comforter set...not sure about king size comforter set can fit or not.

Now I know why you can still put others in. If king size you won't have much space anymore.

I've been mentioning since 1st post that it is queen size.

Never noticed, my bad.

There's actually a way to fit comforter covers. Some manufacturers especially from Japan will recommend folding it as if making a Chinese fold out fan. The loose ends on both sides always point inwards. Comforter/Duvet/doona itself has different filling so need to wash according to manufacturer's laundry directions. Some dry clean only, some need drying in the sun. But have to be careful. There are reported incidents of users dying from suffocation as they were overcame by fumes of chemicals used in dry cleaning process many years back overseas. Some comforter fillings cannot take to water as they might change form after that.

Anyway something interesting to share: fleece blankets. They are quite amazing. Use the longish hair side on the inside, it will keep the body warm. Turn it the other way round, it wicks heat out on a hot night. Don't understand why but that's what I discovered by accident. Bought one at [update:Home Harmony] One Utama and quite like it.

Well, cotton sure washable. And I ditched the usage of comforter already which bring down my electric bill down for another rm30-40.

Guide on to wash blankets, duvet covers, etc

Cotton duvet/comforter/doona cover yes. But the actual duvet/comforter/doona made from cotton insulation, well one I have seen are like parallel joint sections filled with cotton wool which can clump. I had one as a free gift from an appliance and they are like that. Those of down feather maybe not as bad.

Actually, what you say is the correct response to our local weather. Cotton blanket or light comforter cover cukup already.

Yup, you are right. No meaning to use comforter and turn on the air cond for longer time. At the end, we got our lung weaker (doctor happier) and TNB gain more. Not to mention cleaning the comforter(it cost me another rm1 each time I wash it)
I got money, but I won't simply waste it. Once a month eat a Kobe steak meal at Gardens is better than contribute money to those blood sucker CEO's new mistress or new Merc S600.
