Washing Machines

[Froggy]

Send clothes to laundry mart lah...why wash yourself

Well I have maid to wash la however if back from long trip and too much dirty clothes will ask her to send for washing.

This is the only washing machine you'll ever need.

Laksaboy, no need to tempt me, believe me, I've already got one of this for myself in the province liao.

yummy stuff

LG also has front loading washing machine and come with dryer function too..

I am a believer of separating dryer and washer, if one breaks down the other still function. Oh I used to even have a set of Hoover dryer sitting on top of the washer and dryers seems to last forever. So now I have the Bosch dryer sitting on top of the washer, this set I brought from Singapore to Bangkok, honestly I rarely use the dryer now in Bangkok as maid takes care of the sunning and of course Bangkok is a very sunny place. Only use dryer when in a hurry like if I need to turn around clothes from one trip to another. My advise get a separate unit.

I thought I saw a Maytag washing machine being sold at Power Mall at Siam Paragon.
It is a very big store with an impressive impressive range of electrical goods: ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, HiFi, TVs, ... etc. They also have a branch in Pattaya.

I have a Maytag refrigerator in Spore & the new agent no longer brings in new models. However they can still service it. While the Maytag refrigerators are no longer available, their washing machines are still avalable.

at one time i have 5 pairs of washers and dryers. now down to 3 pairs. can't explain why i have so many, but i don't use them for money laundering. all kinds of make and brand, including a pair of front-loading compact ones for a tight space. german brands are the best in terms of durability. my front-loading bosch pair is still working. only pet peeve is i have to turn dryer off totally after the cycle. otherwise, it's not totally off and continues to tumble occasionally once in 5 minutes or so. imagine going on a 2-week vacation, and that german robot is still awake, using up unnecessary power. wish it cums with an intruder alarm. :p

Fine suggestion by laksaboy, get one of this model above that comes with a pair of . . . no need so many pairs of your machines.

hello [joetys],

For the past decade, I have been using a Maytag front loading washer (about 7 cu ft) and Maytag dryer (about 4.5 cu ft).
No problems and no repairs.
Not sure where it was made (USA, Mexico or Germany?)

My first front loading Maytag washer cost me about CdN$2,000

A long time ago, I used a Maytag top loading.

agree. but first, must learn to do rear unlatching and then wide open front loading. the violent and vibrational spin cycle is the most anticipated and favorite rotation. :p

Always have good impression of Maytag as I love their refrigerators. Now is my second one been running for 10 years and only recently got someone to come fill up gas. As said before unfortunately it's not available here I not will like to replace with new model. Not have any Maytag washer before but since Johnny said he'd seem in Power Mall looks like there is hope now.

What is your point?

Bought an Electrolux about 3 months ago for $$799 at Parisilk Sembawang. Not too bad so far. Here we also have American brands too.

GE top load 10kg washing machines used continuously for 14 years trouble free, until shift house
gave the GE washing machine away! It's a damn good machine made to last!!

Put in another way, the live version is good for dry cleaning ...of our anatomy's excesses (front loading). New meaning to daily bodily ablutions:p

 

[HTOLAS]

I second Zanussi but I'm not sure it's still widely available. It was my first washing machine and it lasted more than 10 years of abuse! They really don't make them like they use to.

Zanussi.

 

[ginfreely]

don't buy.
i had one
clothes NEVER dry like a stand alone dryer

Oh yeah 2-in-1 washer dryer is like that, this one can dry but only for very little load and whole cycle very long duration like more than 4 hours. So it is not good for daily use indeed, just a good to have feature for once in a while use. I used to have another another brand Turbo 2-in-1 also the same cannot dry well...

Oh you prefer separate washer dryer, not sure but probably LG also have just front loading washing machine without dryer function. I bought mine 6 years ago already but not for my own use so far it is still in working condition but dryer rarely used. The main good thing of 2-in-1 dryer is when there is space constraint and dryer function is just good to have feature. Before this LG, I used Turbo brand for 7 years before breakdown, also a 2-in-1 washer dryer. One thing good about LG is it looks nice and the capacity is quite big 8 kg washing and 4 kg drying and price is attractive. One particular good feature that I recall about the LG machine is the door can open fully 180 degrees (unlike the Turbo one) so you can take clothes out from the side easily if no space to stand infront of the machine.

 

[escher]

Is that a front loader or top loader?

Simple mind likes to know.
