dear si fu..
i already do all the reading n research.. found out front loader is the best also the more expensive one.. lost confidence in LG as all my LG electronic already broke down.. even my NATIONAL electronic last longer than LG.. Doubt about Samsung.. i was planning to go for electrolux as my uncle electrolux washer still working after serving him for more than 20 yrs.. and only break down once.. i went to harvey to check on the price and talk with the sales guy.. they told me the main motor that come with warranty of more than 10 yrs won't have any problem at all.. the only thing that always break down is the parts other than the main motor.. so the general insurance of 1 yr is the thing you should concern with.. LG, SAMSUNG and PANASONIC are assemble locally.. Electrolux assemble in Thailand.. these are the brand that always complain by the customer.. And he recommend me the brand like BEKO.. FARGO.. BOCSH... he said is fully imported.. less customer complain.. and i saw the sticker at BOCSH washer.. Inverter warranty for lifetime!! But the price tag is way way way expensive than others.. But it gave me some thought to it..
Dear si fu.. please advise..

Finally replaced 6kg washer whose pump has gone cranky with a 8kg Hitachi BD-W80MV. This is a Japan import model vs the Thai made 8.5kg BD-W85MV.

First thought:
Very quiet. We didn't even know it was spinning.
Fluffier clothes - it has a unique way of washing. It will rotate the drum 15-20 degree clockwise and anticlockwise a few times and then rotate clockwise say 10 degrees and repeat. Somehow this makes the water foam a lot. But the clothes come out feeling softer.
Rapid 15 wash - life saver for situations where large laundry is subdivided into different types of need:cotton, delicates, synthetics. 3 loads all done under 1 hour.

Home minister gave approval. Happy customer for now.

dear sifu..

i got a dilemma here.. between Electrolux vs Hitachi..
Electrolux EWF14012 RM2,980, Electrolux EWF10932 RM2,300 & Hitachi BD-W80MV RM2,700

Electrolux made in Thailand / Hitachi made in Japan
But the dealer of both brand told me Japan is pro in top loader and front loader is the invention of the European..
Regardless of the load, Electrolux top spin speed only reach to 1000rpm - 1400rpm. Hitachi is 1600rpm. But do we need such high spin speed for normal cloth?? i afraid it might damage the cloth.

1. Well.. Electrolux got this Vapour Action feature.. less wrinkle.. less allergens.. but after all we still need to iron or steam the cloth right?? However the Refresh cycle feature does sound handy..
2. Jetspray = extra rinse??
3. What is so special about this time manager anyway??

For Hitachi..
1. It got this 3D sensor tech = load sensor + water level sensor, a bit like jetspray + vibration and temperature sensor..
2. it's rated A+++ which is more energy saving..
3. it run more quiet: wash 47db & spin 67db

But the drainage pipe cannot be higher than 10cm.. problem when the pipe is through the wall..
For electrolux can anyone explain to me why the drainage pipe need to be high and make a u shape?? is not making any sense to me.. electrolux can pump out the water?? even though it can pump.. there still no need to make the drainage pipe high..

So which model should i purchase??
which one more durable??
which one more delicate to the cloth??

Dear Sifu..

I own Electrolux FL washer 2 yrs ago.. the high speed spinning sound is getting louder comparing previous yrs.. is it normal?? is it an indication some maintenance need to be done?? How much would it cost to change the rubber at the door??

i also looking for a big size TL washer to wash quite a volume of daily bed sheet and duvet cover.. which brand should i consider?? Toshiba or Hitachi?? or Electrolux the model with something like a stick in the middle??

Kindly advise..

Top load stick in the middle out of favor already. Duvet cover need to identify which type: down, cotton or synthetic. Google and see. Sometimes dry cleaning can avoid the need to invest in another. High speed spinning sound is from belted motor. Louder could be increased drum weight due to mould growth over the outer side of the drum. Mould growth may not be uniform around the drum so expect machine also to wobble due to imbalance. Go for one that has tub clean function. Easier to do so with FL as there's a way to keep it squeaky clean.
