I used to own zanussi washing maching, front loader last merely a decade. Then it fails and it is hard to get spare parts (due to the age).

Then bought GE front loader, a lot of problem from motor bush until the water valve. after 5 years then i decided it is too expensive to repair.

End up with top loader, for the past 7 years still ok. Normal brand Panasonic oni.

I feel the front loader less crumple and better cleaned but expensive.
