I was watching A Current Affair the other night and the Samsung washing machines came out on top of the Choice reviews. I have a Samsung, it's 5 years old now and has never missed a beat. I got my washing machine on sale because it was a model being phased out, it was around $600.

I wouldn't go under a 7kg myself, mine is 9kg and I find it's still too small at times lol.
Is the 9kg Samsung a Front Loader? I haven't seen a 9kg Front Loader before.
