Hi guys...
Sorry for my ignorance as I read through from page 97 to page 121 but I still can't figure out what brand/spec I should really go for...
I am shifting to my new apartment therefore I need to buy my first ever washing machine. Households members max is around 6 people. I am trying not to wash clothes very often. My current situation is wash twice a week (for 2 ppl only). Therefore, what capacity of WM that afford to allow me wash my laundry twice a week? Talking about capacity, can I ask 1 kg of TL WM = how many kg of FL WM? The sales lady told me 7 kg FL equivalent to 14 kg TL as TL's kg need to take into account of the water weight. Is it so much different?
I have seen supersound bro recommending Panasonic or Toshiba TL WM. But I went for a look and found that the base of the WM is plastic. Is there any full stainless steel TL WM around? I saw LG advertising their "FULL STAINLESS STEEL TUB" and saw their base is silver colour but I don't think its stainless steel after I touching it. In addition, any recommendation for FL WM? I am comparing both TL & FL atm because of promotion price, both are almost similar priced.
Also, I have seen supersound bro recommending not to buy inverter type. But big capacity WM all comes with inverter. Is inverter really that bad servicing?
Besides all those fundamental spec, I am very confuse with all the functions that each brand offers. I think some of them are actually the same function but they named it differently. But I can't confirm whether they are the same as I have no experience in this. I have come across halcyon27 bro's post sharing below:
"However the imbalanced spin issue is now a thing of the past with newer FL anti vibration and load balancing tech:
LG calls it TrueBalance Anti Vibration System
Hitachi calls it 4 or 5 ply Load Balancer
Samsung calls it Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT)"
Appreciate if you could share any other similar technology/function but with different names in different brands.
Many thanks in advance!
Nowaday still got ppls choosing bigger capacity and get the without inverter motor?
Also most VRT or TAV just apply for FL only.
Regarding on samsung filtering design was impressive, thier used very fine nett for filter, drum got roller at the bottom also for help the cloths turning more eaier to spins.
Maybe you can go and look for samsung 14kg top load too.
