OK confirm you are from Singapore.

I recently bought a new FL WM and wanted to share some of the experiences.

The one & only reason I went for FL machine was the protection of clothes. Have been using Toshiba 8kg for 11 years without any single problem. Toshiba is a real good top loader. But like all TL, it damages clothes, especially vulnerable at neck/collar area and it degrades quickly the color. Prior to top loader, I was a avid FL fans and can noticed the differences, indeed a very large one.

When moving to a new area about 13 years ago, the area was having low water pressure issue (often below 1 bar) and it leaded me to buy a TL instead of keeping the old Siemen. Unless, have a water pump or direct water pressure at least 1 bar and above, front loader is a big turn-off and cannot function properly. here, the Top loader rules bcoz it will not start cycle unless water reach certain level (detected by weighting) while front loader (even in today's advance model) usually detect water level by flow calculation, pressure and liquid elasticity. Simply it means, top loader's less clever water inflow detection system ironically works even in low water pressure.

Besides water pressure consideration, for FL, the amount of detergent needed is  very very little. After coming back to FL WM, I noticed the current model use even far lesser water than what I used during the 90s. I am surprise to see in the current FL model, you don't even see 'the water' at all from the window. I am using approx. 2 and half tablespoon (nearly half scoop of Persil spoon) of low sub powder to clean full load with 8kg Bosch WAP23240 FL (or similar amount to Panasonic 8kg FL). Very clean!

As for question of using normal detergent, after many try and errors, I still keep my old stock and use them back, only with extra caution. For my 2 new machines (Bosch and Panasonic), I use 1/3 (at most) cap of Dynamo or similar liquid detergent to wash full load. But have no luck for normal powder. when I reduce the powder amount (to control the bubble level), it compromises the cleaning with unpleasant smell. So, have given away my Fab and Breeze. 

** there is a simple test if you're using a correct amount of detergent. We often over use it and as predictable, manufacturer tend to over recommended amount. Here is how you can try. Take 3 or 4 clean towels (yes, towel only), wash them in the machine WITHOUT ANY DETERGENT at all. And pay attention to the water after 20 mins or so the check how much the bubble produce. You will be surprise how much the residue detergent in the towel. So, just reduce the amount in the next wash cycle until you no longer see many bubble. That's how you determine the detergent amount to use. You cannot believe the manufacturer suggestion because the variable is so large, i.e machine model, water pressure, water hardness and etc. we end user has responsible to decide.

** if you're lazy, can try this way. take a towel into a 1/3 filled a bucket with water and rigorously wash the towel to check the bubble produce....

which model ?

On the topic of the following:

High efficiency washing machine that is required to strictly use High efficiency washing powder.

Anyone can share some knowledge on this perhaps new tech that i am not aware of..

activ dual wash ....

but i more like the latest panasonic TL...very stylish ...

too bad after i bought WA10F5S5QWA     

usually we will wash once a day unless washing the comforter/bedsheet/or after going vacation.
My main concern is the durability of the combo type and the effectiveness of cleansing and drying.
MY wife actually prefer the combo as it is like wash and forget it 

Both my baby very sticky type, handling them is very tiring, especially need to settle house chore after long working hour.
Quite frustrated when the washed and hanged clothes has bad odour, then we need to rewash it again
Thus we need a dryer in our home

I'm using Samsung 7(or 8)KG FL in Qatar, even a queen size comforter it can't fit in While my 10KG TL can fit in king size with others also and work normally.
To wash my daily laundry of 1 cloth, pant, mask, socks and underwear, I need 1.5 hours to clean them properly. Low sud detergent are almost rm40 for 2KG compare to Top I'm getting for rm10 for 2.5KG. Using quick wash resulting to bad smell as it can't rinse my laundry properly. Have to use other options.

Ok then, now I buy a new Samsung 7KG and if cannot fit also, you have to come to my house and take it.
But you have to buy for me first.

Willing to accept the challenge or not?

I say 7KG cannot fit all but you say 12KG can fit all
I also knows that your wife is a woman

My take is normally washing machine breaks down due to the electronic motherboard faulty, motor usually can last very long. Sifus, Electrolux front loader any good? How reliable is it? Or Borsh is better?

You are telling people that you are simply mixing laundries to wash.

Always read the label

Buying a failed brand and say it is failed, what can i do?
