planning to get new washing machine after using Samsung for 8yrs.

looking at this model : Sharp 10KG Top Load Inverter Washer ESY1019


anyone using it now ?

This model is probably the cheapest front load.

I'm tempting to get this too, but I'm afraid it does not last very long.

Have been using top loader all my life but planning to get a combo of a front loader washer and a heat pump dryer from Toshiba:
- Washer: TW-BK115GF4M(SK)
- Dryer: TD-BK110GHM(SK)

Anyone has an experience on these 2 model?

I've had my 23kg Samsung top-loader WA23A8377GV/FQ for a year now; bought it in May 2022. So far, no issues.

I also purchased a 16kg Samsung top-loader WA16R6380BV/FQ in December 2022 for my mother-in-law. It's also going well.

I just bought the LG FV-1409S4W. Delivered today actually. Previous one was also an LG, a WF-TS888TC top loader which was with us for 17 years. Fixed once (water inlet valve) in 2016. Though it’s still working, the spin was getting really weak. Instead of repairing, just thought to get a new one.

Also looked at Electrolux and Bosch.

Which did you get in the end?

i haven't bought it yet, will buy early next month

have you used it so far? how's the performance?

also how much did you paid for it?

thanks

Most probably I will go with LG. I also thinking to get the dryer as well. But not sure they can run it together from the same 13A breaker or not.

Already used 6 times so far. LG ThinQ app keeps track of it. Performance OK, I guess. Clothes are clean. Cleaner than top loader? Honestly, I dunno. My wife says it is. Myself, not used to seeing so little water in the tub. Seems much quieter than my old LG but trying to think back what that sounded like when it was new 17 yrs ago, a bit susah.

Bought from HomePro, RM2199 less 5% = RM2089.05. This includes delivery and installation. Missed TNG eWallet RM100 by one day. Promo ended on 4/6. :-(

Not sure about this. Manual only states standby power consumption. Have never considered dryer since we live in terrace house with space for clothes hanger. The only time we took laundry out to the shop for drying was during that crazy rainy season a couple years ago when it was non-stop raining for many days.

A few other notes:
- HomePro installer is just 3rd party lorry delivery. They hooked up the water-in hose and water outlet hose. Did not level the machine properly, just agar-agak. Adjusted but did not lock the feet in place. I asked about leveling it and they did say Yes but no big deal. I didn't say anything else and just did it myself later. I noticed that the machine was not leveled well when the drum was spinning down. At certain frequencies, the whole thing will vibrate.
- The installers also took away my old LG for free. I think they were hinting at money for that but, initially, I told them to just bring it outside for the Majlis to come collect it (Selangor will collect bulky items for free.) They probably saw that I had laundry outside so I guess they believed me when I said the old machine is still working.
- Got 2.4Ghz WPA2 wifi and LG ThinQ app. Most useful features are:
- notification when laundry is done.
- keeps track of how many wash cycles and reminder for tub clean after 30 washes.
- Can also download one custom cycle. Default is "Rinse and Spin."

Youtube got a few videos. Not quite the exact model but close enough.

Been using it for 2months + too
So far so good except it wont fit my queen size comforter lol

What detergent are using?

Biggest thing we have is king size mattress protector. Lucky not very thick so can fit.

Still using the previous top loader liquid detergent. Forgot the brand but not one of those expensive ones. Later update.

I heard powder is better? What brand liquid or powder are you using?

using dynamo for top load but it produce extra suds even when i put lesser and lesser detergent each time

I took a look at LG's front load machine, Their 8.5kg, 9kg, and 10.5kg, physically they look kinda same size? The drum size looks the same to me.

The 8.5 one is a bit smaller. Not so deep if that's the correct word. Width and height same. Maybe motor weaker since max spin is 1200rpm vs 1400rpm on the 9kg. No idea about drum sizes or the 10.5kg one.

The liquid detergent that I'm using at the moment is Sibee. Looks like NSK in-house brand. Wife bought it, I guess must be cheap. Before this, we used Top and Smart Daia.

Having trouble choosing between LG's 9KG and 10.5Kg.

It's worth it to pay extra RM450 for 10.5KG?

House is only 2 person, and I normally wash around 20 pieces of clothes per load.

i always go for bigger if can afford it

lesser stress on the motor and you can wash more if needed

having surplas capacity is always better than not enough

Anyone here using a single wall plug for a washer and heat pump dryer? Can't see any power rating on any of these machines other than the voltage rating. I guess it's not anywhere near to oven or cooking hob range?

To be safe, just don’t use them at the same time. Anything that can heat or cool draws more power from the socket. Even phillips steam iron pulls out so much that my monitor keeps flickering when they are being used at the same time.

Saw one of the Electrolux dryer unit consuming 2100W. If having 2 units running definitely will not be enough. Thank you.

Do you guys switch off the switch after done using your washing machine? It is necessary?
