We are using Samsung and chose the cheapest model made in Korea.
cheaper models were all mode in china

model WF8702SGP
other critial considerations:
1. frontload to allow drier stacking
2. bought extended warranty from harvey norman for hassle free purchase

Front load is expensive than top load. And top load too can be stacking. Just a bit higher.

can u teach me how to put the clothes into the top loader after stacked up a dryer on top of it? thanks first!

Your top dryer must leave some space for the top loader cover to open. Have you notice that most of the top loader top cover is fold able 2pcs. That will reduce the stacking height of the dryer.

I have been using this top loader with dryer stacking on top way back 18yrs ago in Japan. Where in Japan, front loader is not famous. Mostly is top loader.

So u r using a shelf to place the dryer on top of the top loader and not directly stacking on top of it is it? then i can understand, I know shelf is also available in China way back 5000 years ago.

Hahaha...

Sometimes, the best solutions come from the ancient people.
top loads washers vs front loads.... it is a choice to suit your situation.

we needed an electrical drier but have no space left, so front load helped the stacking.
another option was to choose a gas fuelled drier whish was lighter and can be mounted on the wall. but we could not mount the shelve due to existing pipes in the way.

another point for front loaders is to make sure that the adjacent appliances are on a plinth ( a raised platform) as the chance of water overflowing is slightly higher than top loads. see the details here: http://hdbrenovation2009.blogspot.sg/2012/...eed-plinth.html

Hi Bro,
Any suggestion for washing machine as my requirement below:
1- Price - below 1K
2- Brand - Any brand (good quality)
3- Size - no need so big, just 2 person use only (me & my wife)
4- Type - Top Load

Thank you in advance..

are the LG combo washer-dryer good and reliable?

You can try Toshiba 9/10kg top load WM, price ard 1k.

Hi richsunny
If you wash your bed sheets and curtains at home. make sure you get at least 8-10kg load.
the last one we used was over loaded... can hear the machine in "pain" when tumbling.... obviously it did not last too long.

been using LG top loader 9kg...last up to 7 years (may2005-dec2012) until computer box got problem (cannot be repaired as parts are no longer manufactured) what a bad after sales service... now waiting for Panasonic NA140VX3 10kg front loader expected to arrive tomorrow

Front loader have 1/2 to 1/3 of the power and water consumption of a top loader. They require less detergent. Clothes are cleaner, and they are not harmed/damaged. They just go up, fall down, go up, fall down, like handwash. They are not torn apart like in a top loader. Clothes are also dryer when they get out of the washing machine.

I can see literally NO reason at all to get a top loader, unless you really can't afford it (but in the end you may spend more due to higher water consumption etc. and having to replace clothes). Can get front loaders for around 1100-1300 with some searching (mostly Electrolux, which are quite good).

I don't see a need for a dryer, can hang the clothes on the balcony, this is Malaysia. Doesn't take long to dry.

My family has been using front loaders for maybe 40 years or so, no problem. These things are good (Miele, Whirlpool, Candy, Electrolux). Always using 5-6 kg units, more than enough.
