Anyone use Samsung front load washer?

Heard from my friend saiying that samsung front load may take around 2 hours to wash the cloths.

samsung got promotion, forgot the model liao, below $500 7kg can get free DVD player somemore lol!

if Sharp the holeless tub is what you are looking for, since you can't get daewoo.....can consider it lor, $500+ also for 7kg.

that's just the retail price I saw, if you pay by cash, sure can negotiate further, I'm expecting to pay just $400 or lesser for the Sharp

alice916, front load in general take at least double the time, that's one of the reason why my wife refuse to use front load, I actually prefer front load maybe just because my home has been using it since young. The sharp one takes about 45 mins to finish in average, according to the sales person. maybe leen can verify this

normally my load is not much. hb and my clothes only. i wash abt once or twice a week only.

i usually separate my clothes by white, light colour, dark colour and black (means all black and jeans) coz scare color run. and it takes abt 30mins to finish 1 load. but this is not a gd estimate as everyone of us hv different number of time so clothes changing.

eg. for 1 quit cover, it take only 30mins. i throw 1 queen size quit cover, 1 queen size fitted sheet, 3 pillow cases, 1 bolter case, it will take abt 50mins. hope its a gd estimate for you guz to gauge.

Hi

Am slowly startin to look at the electrical stuff that i'll nid for my new home.. thot of trying a front load washer... went to Harvey over the weekend and a salesguy shared wif me sm info.. he said a front load uses only 1/3 of the water used in a topload washer.. but the catch is tat it takes abt 1.5 hr to wash ...?????

Are there any users of a front loader that can clarify this? If it really takes so long, twice the time taken for a normal wash in a top loader, it doesnt seem to make much sense to get a front load....

[leen 2]

no leh... mine jap made. but i got it 5years ago leh...

maybe you like to try ask around more? but i not surprise nowadays many things made in china.

for the current sharp washer price (which is a bit pricier now comparing with other brands), which i saw your post, it could be from jap.

so does it mean that other jap and continental washer going for $380+ onwards are also made in china?

better still, find the manufacturer phone from yellow page and call them up to ask so that you can clear your doubt.

what I am paying for, is the technologies, not where it is made of lah. Companies like Sharp and Hitachi, are quite strict on their QC one, just that I dunno if the standard is still there. See if anybody using the Sharp washer lor. For the price of $500, it's already cheaper than Panasonic liao lah.

just saw somebody bought this model for $460 at HongLiang about 3 months ago.....

hi tingshen, den call them and check if the price still stand. and also do read up abt the seller credibility. if ok, and you are confident, den buy from them. its so much cheaper now. 5 years ago, my washer technology haven't come to AG ion or anything yet, juz holeless tub, and its so much more expensive.

for 5 years, no servicing, no maintneance (meaning calling sharp people to maintain it or any regular kind of maintenance procedures to follow), no breakdown = so no problem for me... but with so many new washer coming out, i wonder when can i change to a newer one?
