LG is generally good. If you dont like LG then can consider Sharp or Panasonic

Got budget then can get Bosch also

If you haven't bought, from personal experience I'd recommend LG FL.

All the LG washing machines that my family has owned lasted around 15 years each.

Recently I bought this LG 15KG Inverter - TV2515DV3B to replace my >15 years old 12kg Toshiba which is due with many small issues and leaking.
The new WM is very quiet. The energy rating is super good.

Maybe you can check those 9 to 12kg ones. Anyway what is your budget range ?

The Panasonic TL washer in our house just refuse to die!

I just checked the record and found that it has been serving us good since 2007! That's 18 years! Of course there has been minor issues here and there; all were fixed/changed by myself (DIY guy here).

Now we are looking for a new washer since we are renovating and remodeling our house. I just couldn't convince my wife to try another brand... hahaha, it has got to be Panasonic. And we like the simplicity of top loaders.

don't buy Toshiba top loaded washing machine. It has 2 years warranty and I have only been using it for 1.5 years already got problem when spinning. The washing machine will bang very loud. Luckily still under warranty but it is as though a known issue because the technician knows what to order and replace based on my description.

Toshiba is bought by midea...Well, today the technician came to fix the washing machine..he said the suspension got problem and also the drum.
All changed and now it's working fine. But I dont really like the hassle of waiting and not having to use the washing machine for few days..
now they fixed already I noticed water. leaking from the bottom..

I used Electrolux front loader for 8 years before the rubber just came off...the engine is still working fine, so I thought to change to top loader because of the inside of the rubber always got black mold...no matter how I let it dry or wipe it...
Top loader also makes my shirt collar loose...unless its the high quality like superdry that kinda reinforced the neckline so it won't go out of shape..
how long have you been using your Panasonic WM? my mom also using pana wm for many years..no problem like mine...

The newer Panasonic top loader basically didn't change much the design internally. Even the interface is same (electronics underneath same) with some new front faceplate and rearrangement. Mine lasted around 20 years. Usually the parts that needs change is the pulsator and the belt. Both of these doesn't need any technician to change, you can do it yourself. At the end it look quite worn off already, bought another TL from Panasonic.

yes I also have panasonic brand, they are really good at making sturdy washing machines

the one brand definite must avoid is samsung. So far my experience with samsung:

Washing machine - 3 years
TV - 3 years
Refrigerator - 2 years

In one of my houses I changed all to LG brand. The TV and Fridge works great, but the washing machine performance abit poor, panasonic still the best

midea is just cheaper toshiba

yup, obviously midea has been quickly merging the functions and design from toshiba. But the touch and feel always seems to be cheaper. However I think the interior is the same.

Whats the standard warranty on midea?

Your best bet should be looking at Lazada or Shopee for brands like Midea or Hisense.

Anyone that use the Xiaomi 2-in-1 washer/dryer? Any feedback?
