No need to dilemma. Electrolux is a household name for FL washers. I prefer LG FL washer because of the direct drive inverter motor & apps control to schedule my laundry. Normal non-DD FL washers have a belt which will eventually wear out and needs replacement. I've recommended few friends to LG, and have friends using Electrolux with no issues as well.

Washer dryer combo easily holland.. unless you absolutely need to save the space.. don't go for it. Even big brand like LG also holland. I am using LG DD front load washer only, 9KG.. going strong. Now I wished I bought a bigger unit like a 13kg with bigger door and drum..can stick comforter in.

Front load uses less water, uses high efficiency detergent as it agitates the clothes better.

I feel it cleans better than top load and gentler on clothes. That’s based on my observation of the collar on my PRL polos.

Top load generally cheaper. Easier to load as well compared to front load. Family uses top load. I bought my own place and use front load.
