Lets compare both top loader (AJ-S80MX) and front loader (BD-W80MV) from Hitachi (source from the URL below)

Electrical and Mechanical Services Department Hong Kong

Brand--------Model------------------Annual Energy (kWh/Yr)------Water Consumption
HITACHI-----AJ-S80MV(8kg)-------40.3 (3.36 per month)---------127.7 (20 cycle = 2554l)
HITACHI-----BD-W80MV(8kg)------159(13.25 per month)---------48(20 cycle = 960l)

*base on Monthly Energy 13.25kWh = 20 cycle as cotton cycle around 0.68 kWh according to manual.
I) conclusion is TL use 1/4 Energy compare to FL but TL use 3X Water compare to FL.

II) so convert to dollar and cents in Selangor 1000 litre = RM0.57 so TL = RM1.46 and FL = RM0.55

III) 1 kWh = RM0.128 so TL = RM0.43 and FL = 1.7

IV) Total TL = RM1.89 and FL = RM2.25 per month (20 cycle)

V) personally I prefer FL as it's more gentle to clothing, my mom also notice the same as we switch from FL -> TL then back to FL 

VI) as for cost saving it's not that much different just 0.36 cents or 0.018 cents per cycle,  but the investment cost TL definitely cheaper than FL. 

hope this one help. 

Hi,

I'm looking at these 2 front load washing machines, anyone can share their experience with Bosch? Thanks!

Bosch washer WAE16060SG
Capacity:7kg
800rpm spin speed
Automatic Load Stabilliasation

Electrolux EWF12732
Capacity:7kg
1200rpm spin speed

If I were you I go for Electrolux, start delay, vapour action, refresh cycle, time manager which non in Bosch.

how about electrolux 12732 7kg vs hitachi BD-W85SV?

If you have budget for W85SV why not consider EWF10932? If not mistaken both almost the same price.

my electrolux front wash....always got smelly smell
how to stop this?

U mean d baju or d machine??

Yup,, correct. In fact ewf12022 is even better

Senheng Electrolux Front Loading Washer ELE-EWF10932 - RM2,949.00

i went to a local shop (not those big chain store like courts/senheng),
they quote me EWF12732 for RM2000 but no stock
the shop recommend me to take EWF10842for RM24xx
then i saw senheng got promotion for W85SV, RM2499 for member


so the major differences is W85SV and EWF10932 have direct inverter drive while EWF12732 and EWF10842 dont have direct inverter drive. size wise is EFW10932 (9KG) > W85SV (8.5KG) > EWF10842 (8KG) > EWP12732 (7KG) and all of them have large door
ewf12022 is beyond my budget
but i know it's good machine

blacky? Mine W85SV metallic grey 

then get the W85SV if you don't mind the noise of the pump

It's not super loud just that not as quiet as I may expect

yeah, black one
i wonder if they have other colour
i watched your video, seems ok for me
and they also have BD-W85SSP for RM1899, stock clearance i guess

If you stay in klang valley area try this one

Jintex Electronics

He offer EWF10932 for RM2450

too bad he don't have Hitachi FL.

don't go for SSP it's not inverter direct drive. can refer to this Hitachi Catalog

W85SV have white, black and metalic grey 

i'm in kota kinabalu
so impossible to get from jintex
yeah, i guess i'll get the W85SV then
care to tell how much you paid for yours?

almost the same price that you post. I got it from Harvey Norman guess it's more expensive than local store, too lazy to go out to town to hunt one.
