Hi all sifu,

Need some advise, I am planning to get one LG WF-HX140GV type of WM. That how the sales person advise me to take this.

It this WM ok? Any other shop can recommend in Puchong/PJ, they charged me around RM2449.00. 
Thanks

I do not know there are 12kg available to choose for, this is what they recommend to me. I told them I do not need 14kg for my family.

Thanks 

I assume you are referring to comforter, which is usually the largest single piece item that people wash at home. I think 12-14 KG range gives sufficient margin so you don't overstress the WM. One of the advantages of a larger washing machine is you can wash more clothes at the same time, reducing the number of washes. That saves you water in the long run, and therefore is more environmentally friendly.
Besides, sometimes the difference between 2 capacities for the same sized WM is just the drum size, so might as well buy the bigger WM... more bang for buck.

I chose not to believe a mattress can fit into it.  LOL   

I'm not sure why you think that way. As far as I can tell I don't think I have said anything particularly disagreeable. I do not wash mattresses because I vacuum them, seeing how it would be impossible fitting 6 by 6 latex/coconut fiber Getha into a washing machine  Comforters on the other hand, should I need to wash them, only go in individually. I think that's common knowledge seeing how the volume alone would fill the entire chamber. The 12-14 kg reference is really more for every day clothes and definitely you will save more if you wash less often. Why do you think hotels these days encourage us to help them reduce the washing frequency? The fact is, washing laundry really wastes a lot of water. If we can wash more clothes at one go we help save water compared to doing multiple loads

I'd like to see where your 90% comes from.  I use a front loader btw, and once I set it to the desired cycle, I don't stick around to see whether it submerges fully as long as my clothes come out clean. Besides, washing machines these days have sensors to detect the load size to determine the necessary amount of water required. My water bill is also around RM5, sometimes a bit less, so it's no big deal.

For some reason I cannot fathom why, I seem to have an unintentional talent for infuriating you  Please don't take offense since there is none being given. I'm just sharing my own experience for the benefit of others as you are sharing yours.

Like I said, I'm just sharing my own experience.

Bigger WM do have many advantage.  And it is all the time.

I brought a FL 12kg combo WM not base on how many person. My minimum spec is,  the drum must able to chuck in the comforter. Mostly able to wash comforter is start from  12kg for FL. And must have this wash function mode too. Many don't have this washing mode. That put the lifespan at risk.

Bigger WM can reduce my frequent wash. I only wash once a week due to bigger drum. 5x a month include comforter. That save water, electricity and the WM lifespan.  Anpther save is the detergent. 5kg of detergent last me a yrs.

My bill doesn't increase much with this 12kg WM. That include sometime using the dryer too. mostly for comforter. RM65-70 for electricity and water still is free. Never pay a sen for water since many yrs.

wf-hx120gv rrp = rm1999

quote from some shops...

HLK - 1699
TBC - 1720
TBM - 1750
Senheng - if member minus duno ? %
ESH - forgot, just call them
Onking - ?
Harvey - LG fler i met there said can get 1799.
these are my own assumption and opinion aft spending some time deciding/researching between fl tl...which brand... 

don't trust any advice frm sa, they will come out with any cock n bull when they want to dispose certain model....
today this good, trow that good...

washers today the quality is not the same like 10-20 years ago...

any brand/model will have the tendency to break down... luck is important... 
(maybe those expensive ones will have lesser chance)

For malaysia -
Samsung, LG - won't sell spare parts to consumers and dealers. ( called their cs to confirmed )
want to repair need to call them directly.

Pana, toshi, sharp, hitachi, electrolux - u can go there and buy parts on ur own.

LG is one of the world's largest washer manufacturer, top selling in US for several years,
their washer is sold in alot of countries.

Japanese brand mostly in SEA... can't even get/DL their user manual to study.

tbc....

Just bought a samsung TL 10.5kg WM.been using a few times since i got it 2weeks back.so far so good.as for comforter today i try to wash a queen size comforter with the bed sheet,booster and pillow case.all set in. Anyone using this WM? As seems like many start using FL WM...

Hopefully this WM will last me long time...

Already tried this morning,full set queen size comforter with bolster,bed sheet and pillow case.still got soace for like 3-5piece of tshirt...but wont be doing so :-)

Yes can fit...is queen size comforter set...not sure about king size comforter set can fit or not.

I've been mentioning since 1st post that it is queen size.

There's actually a way to fit comforter covers. Some manufacturers especially from Japan will recommend folding it as if making a Chinese fold out fan. The loose ends on both sides always point inwards. Comforter/Duvet/doona itself has different filling so need to wash according to manufacturer's laundry directions. Some dry clean only, some need drying in the sun. But have to be careful. There are reported incidents of users dying from suffocation as they were overcame by fumes of chemicals used in dry cleaning process many years back overseas. Some comforter fillings cannot take to water as they might change form after that.

Anyway something interesting to share: fleece blankets. They are quite amazing. Use the longish hair side on the inside, it will keep the body warm. Turn it the other way round, it wicks heat out on a hot night. Don't understand why but that's what I discovered by accident. Bought one at One Utama and quite like it.

Cotton duvet/comforter/doona cover yes. But the actual duvet/comforter/doona made from cotton insulation, well one I have seen are like parallel joint sections filled with cotton wool which can clump. I had one as a free gift from an appliance and they are like that. Those of down feather maybe not as bad.

Actually, what you say is the correct response to our local weather. Cotton blanket or light comforter cover cukup already.

how long have you been using borsch WM ? not controlled board not covered in warranty ?

for LG WF-HD850WM, i got quoted for RM990(HLK), this is the direct drive inverter model...

my 1984 + 1996 belt till now no nid to change btw,,,, 

oso there is no evidence to support tht DD will spoil faster...

i don't think DD is recent years...

the few uncles doesn't represent thousands of washers out there...

of cos there are differences btwn DD n belt...

but if pay the same price for belt n DD, i will go for DD>....

yup,after all the survey i done near my place end up i go normal electrical shop for the washing machine...i try my luck at harvey norman but no luck...pretty expensive this time...as compare to last time i manage to secure a fridge for very good price compare to even local electrical shop.
