i am looking for a new washing machine
i am really very bad at this:?
can any one here give me some kind advises and what brand or where to get a WM
thanks in advance

Hi.
For washing machine, there are a few points to look out for:
1. How many people in the household?
2. Will you be getting a dryer as well?
3. Budget?
4. Front load or top load?

wow thanks u so much for such a fast reply


ok let me add on
my house only have husband and wife + 7yo DD and 1yo DS
i dont think i need a dryer as i think it may be very costly
many ppl told me that front load is better and i hope i can get a good one at not more than 1k

so many brands and model out there really give me

For front load washing machine, one of the more reputable brand is BOSCH. They have been making washing machines for 50 years.
There are a few models to choose from and do get those made in Germany.
I used Bosch and it is water saving and energy efficient.
Yes, front load is better than top load because of the way the tub spins and your clothes are supposed to last longer.
Hope that helps

And forget to add on, I have 5 people in my household and I buy the 8kg washing machine. It also depends on your washing routine. Cheers

yeap, BOSCH for us too. So far so good. Can't recall the price, so not sure whether it's below S$1k. White goods are nowadays quite competitive, so just go into any of those Best Denki/Courts and check them out
