Looks like Electrolux's Time Manager?

blue_scott, Hitachi running promo from May for 10 year warranty since May 2013. They have front load 7.5, 8.5 kg. Inverter motor. Quite water and energy saving as shown here. 8.5kg 1000rpm is going for RM1999. It's in today's Star.

They have a 7.5 kg. Price advertised here.

A word of advise: I have used a 850rpm washer and the clothes don't come out that dry as when clothes are spun at 1000rpm. They tend to take a longer time to dry due to the excess water to evaporate and in wet season they smell. With anything lower than 1000rpm, a dryer is needed unless there's regular sunshine and they are dried under the sun. With 1000rpm and above, the times for needing a dryer if hung indoors is less.

I am using old version of Time Manager, so far so good.
Every week wash 3 times. Been 3.5 years so far.

Hi blue_scott, not yet but what makes me survey anew is electricity consumption and water usage. The Hitachi is known for frugality on both counts. 6.1-6.3 litres /kg load and Annual consumption btw 170-340kW/h per year depending on whether its inverter direct drive or conventional. The links in my earlier post shows them. Also Hitachi is running a promo since May this year and giving 10 year warranty on the inverter series. If you're in PJ, certain places like 88 Electrical (formerly MG Electronics) in SS2 could shave off /save.

I think the EWF10742 is a newer model. please check.

sorry. I am from KL. actually I plan to get EWF10841 but EWF10842 is newer. Samsung and LG function is more choice but not sure is reliable or not.

Finally, I plan to buy this as well, cash RM1950, at sen heng is 2399 or other branded shop also like 2199 etc.

anybody  have comment?

For Electrolux, avoid the models with filter built into the drum section as there are many reports online on the filter getting clogged with coins and requiring service call, and I the cheaper 6.5kg machine is not very durable this is based on what the Electrolux sales guy at the Electrolux store told me (ie if you hardly wash jeans in it then its fine otherwise look for 8kg above model and the price is very expensive). The reason I went for Panasonic is the bigger sized door (makes it easier to load and unload) and at the time of purchase they were giving 3 year warranty on the PCB board, hence the decision on the Panasonic.

Look for Inverter washing machine, not so much on energy saving but inverter washing machine can vary the motor rotation speed to suit the type of clothes and its also very quiet (you don't the high pitched sound of universal motor).
