do we have Sharp user here?

Last nite just ordered Toshiba AW-DC1000CM Direct Drive with Inverter. Hopefully it wont be giving us any problem...

Hi,do you check the price too?? All the while I have been thinking on Electrolux, until recently found out Hitachi spec looks like not bad, and the price should be cheaper than Electrolux...

Samsung WM WF906U4SAGD/SP 9KG 2599/2680
Hitachi 510 series Big Drum FL WM BD-W85SV 2350/1750
Electrolux FL WM EWF14012 10KG 3120/3050
Electrolux FL WM EWF12022 10KG 2940/2850

*Shop 1
*Shop 2

i guess the shop 2 quote me a wrong price on Hitachi

location JB. i email them for the quotation. i think should be cheaper if go personally to their shop

Big different between Shop 1 and Shop 2 for Hitachi, I am still surveying the quality and reliability of Hitachi.

Cash or CC also price different a bit

You won't be wrong much when getting Japanese brands.

How about Panasonic NA-140VX3 vs Hitachi BD-W85SV? both also Japanese

I'm thinking of these 3 Samsung WF1124XAC, Panasonic NA-140VX3 and Hitachi BD-W85SV.

bit concern about the drum capacity BD-W85SV just 8.5 kg wonder can fit the windows curtain?

10kg will be more practical.
For my case, I usually wash it 2-3 times.

mind to share which washing machine you use?


my windows curtain very long (around 8 ft) and thick, if can wash 2 3 times i don't mind i scare 1 also can't fit

Toshiba, bought 8 years ago.
Best part is the motor starts to give small problems after warranty over(7 years)

I wash my curtains at self service laundries. They have 13kg front loaders and dryers.

7 years? for me it's good investment already if no problem for so long period of time.

The question is, will the same brand still can last so long?

What type of small problem? Lound sound? excessive vibration?

Spot on

Maybe just call for a washing machine repairman to give the motor some slight lubrication will do...

I want to change to new 1

My old washing machine refuse to die. Made in Japan Sanyo ASWU 100T lets see it followed me from the old apartment about 15 years, it developed a defect about 5 years ago. At the end of the cycle it does not stop completely and the clunk noise when its suppose to stop. Repair cost about rm700/=. I can live it that anomaly so I left it.

The problems I had with it was mainly the owners manuals were all in Nippon

Now I am looking for something newer.

Prerequisites are :

a) low water consumption

b) low power consumption

c) hot water function

d) as durable as my old Sanyo

The one I am looking at is LG WF-HX120GV, LG site says it uses 16 liters of water per cycle I find this unbelievable.

With hot water function means it won't save power

hmmm lets see the relevance of your face palm...did it hurt ?

Can be warm, its just to get the detergent to work harder. Thats what a chemical engineer I trust said, and I believe you can find more data on the net regarding this.

hot/warm water = less detergent = lower rinse cycle = less water. less cycle = less power.

Which a lot of manufacturers take into account by using different incoming data like weight, water temperature etc etc.

Old skoolers who wash by hand for more times then the electricity gets cut would know what I mean.
