Cash or CC also price different a bit
You won't be wrong much when getting Japanese brands.

10kg will be more practical.
For my case, I usually wash it 2-3 times.

Toshiba, bought 8 years ago.
Best part is the motor starts to give small problems after warranty over(7 years)

Yup, need to put just enough detergent. And front loader need special low sud detergent. I need to educate and enforce my mum on how to operate it at first as she always think that no "buih" not clean. But now... yup, the front loader works great

Any user here owns a Hitachi BD-W85SV? How was it?

Inverter and direct drive two separate features. Inverter motor but not necessarily inverter direct drive.

Bosch newer models has quieter brushless dc motor (BLDC) that it touts to be quiter and -30% energy consuming. Electrolux 2012 models already have inverter but may not be direct drive esp the 10kg one.

I recommend and lean towards separate washer and dryer. No joke, wash load reduced to dryer capacity then dry takes a long long while 3-4 hours. If got other loads have to wait. If insisting of a combo, the LGWD-1279RDS7 17/9kg would be the one to go for large family loads at only 5.2l/kg as shown here

If you want efficient dryer, Panasonic 8kg and Electrolux 9kg uses 900W with heat pump condensing dryer vs 2700-2800W of condenser dryers. That can be off the same plug as the washer whereas if using the 2700W it has to be separately dedicated 13A if washer and dryer are used simultaneously. Boschalso has an 8kg condenser dryer that's quite energy saving.

Hitachi I can vouch its 42db during spin cycle relative to older conventional washers and definitely reduced my water usage per month. Also has tub clean function.

If you want to compare water usage and electricity usage look for it at either SG PUB or HK EMD energy and water labeling scheme site. This info convinced me to get the Hitachi 8kg front loader with inverter direct drive.

thanks. Will wait for your input

BD-W80MV - Japan imported. 1400rpm spin is not loud by my definition as compared to older non-inverter belt driven motor.

Looks like it is still new?
Such test I can say are useless for new WM.
Should test it after few years.

My Toshiba TL only starts to give excessive vibration after 7 years, that's 3 days after the warranty
To ensure the WM can serve you long, make sure when washing big item stuff, don't add others.
And because my WM already "old", when washing big item, it tends to tilted 1 side which will hold the spin step.

Is your laundry area enclosed such that the noise during the spin cycle is reflected around? I'll video mine next week during the final spin cycle and compare.

Please also PM the items you washed and I'll see if I can emulate an equivalent.

LOL, the above statement sounds like we're sharing laundry list.

Just did window shopping at SenQ while my wife doing her shopping in Jusco.
See the price of Electrolux FL, most of the models starting price are > rm23** and capacity of 7-8KG. And see that they are boasting that it only consume 8-8.5l water per kg. So it uses maximum of 68l of water under full load.
Then I check out current TL models, a 10kg only cost rm13**-14** and uses 60-70l of water.
So when comparing both on full load, TL actually save more water as 1kg only need 6-7l of water.
Electrolux FL do have a model that uses 7.5l, but it cost rm35**.
So to save 0.5l of water I need to pay extra rm1000. If I wash daily, 30 days run I only save 0.5*3(wash and rinse 3 times)*30=45l of water. In Seremban, 1000l of water only cost rm0.50.

10 unit of power expensive or 1600l of water cheap
Not to mention time needed for FL need compare to TL
As old man said : time = money.
If because of using FL I need to wait 0.5 hour more especially during spring cleaning time need to wash multiple laundries, by the time I complete all, the sun going to say bye bye already
And if talk about ergonomics, FL fail as we need to bend down to take out laundries. Not good for back for long term Again, additional cost will be needed on visiting a doctor and taking medicine.

A FL is almost always more gentle than a TL. Your clothes will last longer.

Hi,

I'm looking at these 2 front load washing machines, anyone can share their experience with Bosch? Thanks!

Bosch washer WAE16060SG
Capacity:7kg
800rpm spin speed
Automatic Load Stabilliasation

Electrolux EWF12732
Capacity:7kg
1200rpm spin speed

how about electrolux 12732 7kg vs hitachi BD-W85SV?

Senheng Electrolux Front Loading Washer ELE-EWF10932 - RM2,949.00

i went to a local shop (not those big chain store like courts/senheng),
they quote me EWF12732 for RM2000 but no stock
the shop recommend me to take EWF10842for RM24xx
then i saw senheng got promotion for W85SV, RM2499 for member


so the major differences is W85SV and EWF10932 have direct inverter drive while EWF12732 and EWF10842 dont have direct inverter drive. size wise is EFW10932 (9KG) > W85SV (8.5KG) > EWF10842 (8KG) > EWP12732 (7KG) and all of them have large door
ewf12022 is beyond my budget
but i know it's good machine

yeah, black one
i wonder if they have other colour
i watched your video, seems ok for me
and they also have BD-W85SSP for RM1899, stock clearance i guess
