Don't buy hitachi, my washing machine only lasted 2-3 years.

Their customer service also difficult to reach.

heard from honest salesman, pana is most reliable (less complaint) but less features than samsung.

Are you talking about the lint filter ie. net and plastic ?

samsung (good feature)
======
tempered glass which is scratch proof
plastic lint filter
pana (good feature)
------
reliable ie. not much complaint from customer
Problem is how many years can samsung last before KONK ? 

Hi there, has anyone use LG washer with 6 motion technology? Try youtube and you see what I mean Very tempted with the unique washing ability, I wonder it encourage better cleaning? Any comment for those who own this? LG Malaysia website has posted these tech for front load washer (before this only for washer/dryer combo, and top-load washer only), but still not available in all the shops I visit.

Anyway, not sure if it is just me, or has anyone notice that Electrolux, Bosch, Beko, so called branded and No.1 in Europe only come in very basic model for similar pricing of Korean washer? i.e. Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sharp?

I tried to google for online review of these brand from UK, US, and they have move to electronic control, i.e. more washing program, electronic decoder with LCD, etc; while our local model (those entry level priced at RM2k, only come with variant of mechanical dial and push-button.

Is M'sia is fast becoming a dump site for discontinue/out-phase product?

how much does it cost? would you recommend a shop for the purchase? I am thinking of getting one as well 

What about the power consumption?
