fathinzara 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I am contemplating to buy a 7kg washing machine, to replace my 5kg one, as need a bigger one. However, the 5kg is still is workable condition. But it is too old to be sold on the garage column. Anyone know of any 2nd hand shops to sell of my w/machine, or even better, any shops that willing to do a trade-in?

aoi 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) You can go to Harvey Norman stores to ask... Certain (not all of) LG washing machine models that are on sale there offer trade-in promotion. Your old washing machine can be of any brand/capacity for the trade-in, whether your washer is spoilt or not (as we were told). Trade-in means that you can buy the new LG washer at the offer price stated, provided that you trade in your existing/old/spoilt washer. They will deliver the new washer to your house, and take away your old washer back to their factory for you. So you won't need to worry about carrying such a heavy bulky item to dispose it by yourself. Perhaps, this is for their recycling purpose, I don't know. My spouse and I bought an LG front-loader from Harvey Norman. We wanted to buy Electrolux or Bosch at first. But the salesman said that most washers on display were made in Thailand, unless you buy the very high-end washer of the brand, then maybe there is a chance that it may not be made in Thailand. Even some Electrolux and Bosch models were made in Thailand now, he told us. He recommended us buying an LG, which was made in Korea. When we were at the store, he pointed out to us that only 3 particular models were available for the promo price trade-in. Not many to choose from. So, after much queries and thoughts, we decided upon the LG F-1422-TD 8KG "direct-drive" front-loading model. Cost $999 AFTER trade-in (around $1200/1300++ WITHOUT trade-in). Furthermore, they can help us take away our spoilt washer due to the trade-in. We won't have to carry to dispose our old washer till our backs break! I don't know how long this promotion will last, but you can go down to Harvey Norman to check out yourself. They "claimed" that the washing machine 'motor' was "10 years warranty", while the washing machine itself was 2 years warranty. I do not know how true it is. Hopefully, this new washer will last longer than my old one this time. Edited December 4, 2009 by aoi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
