Hi, I plan to buy a washing machine for the first time, so I need recommendation or review from you all.

I plan to buy a front-load type with budget RM 1.8k and my main concern is reliability. After doing some reviews, I able to narrow down to these 3 models:

1. LG WD-MD8000WM (8kg)
2. LG FV1285S4W (8.5kg)
3. NA-127XB1WMY (7kg) / Panasonic NA-128XB1WMY (8kg)

I personally prefer LG (especially FV1285S4W) as I saw many people recommend LG over other brand in this thread.
However, I saw a youtube review on FV1285S4W, said due to the high-efficiency water rating, it have low water level issue which will cause the detergent not wash out properly. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzTlIXjpo7I...teve%27sReviews ].
So I wonder anyone that owned LG washer have facing and annoy about that issue?

Regarding Panasonic FL washer, I saw some people said it have sensor/ balancing issue and less reliable than LG.

Ya, I understand that every electric appliance can be faulty easily if you are bad luck, and I also knew after sale service are important.
That is why I consider Panasonic because I knew its customer service is good even though its washer is not famous compare with other brands.

From what I read from various post, I saw Electrolux and Bosh's customer cs are bad, then LG are average. Hence I not consider Electrolux and Bosch washer for now.
Toshiba I didn't saw any people mentioned its cs yet, but I saw many said Toshiba only good on top-load, so I exclude it first.

After doing more research, now I am considering buying LG top-load, as top-load are should less troublesome on maintenance compare with front-load. TL also have more choice and larger capacity based on my budget.
