tho my family have been using hitachi WM 2 units for total more than 30 years.. (still working now )

but this time, i opt for LG...

things have changed...

the japs WM market are so small globally...

just couldnt spend the same amount of $$$ on mainly plastic parts of jap TL washers...

Just bought samsung washer dryer WD806U4S at Best Denki KLCC.
Bought the warranty extension as well. What do u guys think? Can I wash and dry my queen size comforter on it? Hopefully this one can last 10 years..


Attached thumbnail(s)

let us know what you think about this machine after you use for few cycle.

8kg for comforter? It's very hard, 10kg or more will be better, don't forget dry capacity only 5kg.

Initially i was also considering Samsung but drop the brand from my list after been told by the sales girl who advised me that Samsung is not that reliable yet for FL. Fyi, the shop that she is working is mostly selling Samsung products.

Ok.. Will update on my experience later..

Noted.. That's why i bought the extension on warranty.. My panasonic TL just died after 3 and a half year so i thought any brand is vulnerable without warranty.. Wish me luck..

Anyone bought the same model and want to share experience?

Queen size comforter in 8kg? Maybe you have hard time to squeeze in. 8kg is too small for comforter wash.

I shortlist till LG and SS. But SS too expensive with the same spec as LG. And LG have abit advantage over SS. So brought the LG. 6yrs and still running.

actually all the electronic thing sometime base on luck too.


of course how you abuse it also is another factor.


btw your Panasonic cannot repair?

Wow panasonic product died in 3 and a half year... that's really bad
It give way beyond service?

Panasonic WM review are not that good if were compare to Toshiba or Hitachi. That's 1 of the appliance that I'm not using Panasonic.

headache the shop just call me and told me that the WM Hitachi BD-W85SV that i order has been phase out and a new model will be coming out in 3 weeks time. have to choose again.

for top loader or front loader... i some more plan to install 1 ler... haha...

Can always ask the seller for more details.

Panasonic WM market are not small thou, if you Google or YouTube you can find ads and review everywhere even in Europe and Australia.

Oh too bad go for Electrolux then.

New model? Wondering what's new in new model. Hopefully some inverter silence pump.

Ya... Panasonic washing machine market is quite large but maybe quality drop as now they produce it in China.
Keep my finger cross that my Pana washing machine will last at least 7 years. Currently in the 4 th years liao

Repaired once.. After 6 months same problem appeared again.. So no more panasonic WM for me.. Hehe..

May I know what is the problem? Problem with the electronic board?

well folks...
