Bought the Hisense 10.5kg front load during the 9.9 sales, since it's the cheapest at this capacity (<1.3k after all the discount vouchers). wish me good luck  sweat.gif

anyway will give some reviews here after i move in and start using it  tongue.gif

p/s - ex-user of panasonic / electrolux front load here, so hope that it will not disappoint me  sweat.gif

well, it can spin, wash and heat up the water when needed to. as our cloths are normally not heavily soiled, i guess all the machines out there will be able to get the job done biggrin.gif

but do take note that front load machines will have longer cycle time when comparing to the top load machines.

conclusion: it worth the price paid, can consider this if you don't need those fancy functions like wifi remote control etc.

I'm coming from front load as well. My panasonic start having problem already. Looking to replace a new one. One question for full load cotton mode how long it takes to finish? Mine 8kg took around 1.5 hour. I saw in hisense website it took 3 hours? Is it true?
One more question. In term of silentness and vibration, anything to worry about?

there are 2 modes for cotton, 2hr+ and 1hr+ each. so you can try and see which one is more suitable for you

noise and vibration is acceptable to me, as the machine is located at the laundry yard behind the house so didn't find it disturbing at all.

1 small compliant though, the wash cycle completion buzzer sound is too soft and can hardly hear it from inside the house.

Just contributing to the thread. I own an LG FL model FV1450S4V, bought in 2022, haven't 2 years and it started leaking from the bottom.

Submitted a ticket to LG even though out of warranty and they assigned me a contractor (after 2 days haven't contacted me) and the Google reviews were really really bad for the contractor.

Now opting for a 3rd party repair guy and he's checking now but thinks the pump is having an issue.

So just a word of caution that it's really up to chance for reliability.

Any vibrate absober can recommend for front load washer dryer?

The Rinse and spin section - vibrating sometime will cause my washer dryer "walking" sometime sweat.gif

Guess the culprit is also due to my floor is the glossy type tiles which will become slippery if there is water around

If it vibrate until walking, it means your washer is not properly leveled

It should be leveled as i use the leveling tools with ball in middle, just that the floor too slippery or gloss sweat.gif

If i wash the floor with water, sometime will fall down if myself dun maintain my position.

Can consider buying those anti slip mats they use in toilets

Or can try something like this, not sure how good is it. Just search washing machine anti vibration pads on lazada or shopee

Turns out it was a small plastic T joint near the big round rubber gasket that broke. Cost was about RM77 for the part (courier + part) and RM150 for labour.

At least its fixable and not some major electrical part which cost a bomb to replace, might end up getting a new WM

you probably need this https://shopee.com.my/ANTI-SLIP-SHOCK-ABSOR...a5-a0809341d89e or 3mm thick rubber sheet, but rubber sheet dont come with small pieces

leveling and multiple small load makes a difference in reducing washer run away

never use this before, but i doubt it will improve the run away problem, i've seen someone from 小红书 having the runaway problem too when using the stand

do remember not to wash or wet the floor when using washer, water and soap can reduce friction and cause the rubber to be more slippery and cause washer runaway
