Recommend me a washing machine

[Liviam]

My 14 year old washing machine is on it's last legs and we have decided that then it dies this time we aren't going to have it fixed. She's served us well but it is only a 5kg machine so a bigger and more water efficient one is definitely on the cards I think.

I'm a little excited about getting a new swish one that I can wahing more than a sheet in at a time but at the same time not real excited about the cost of a new machine.

So ladies what washing machine do you have/recommend?

Thanks,

I was going to get a fisher and paykel top loader, but ended up getting a samsung 8kg front loader. Only had it a couple of weeks and loving it so far.

We just got an Electrolux front loader, 7.5kg, really great on water and electricity- I LOVE IT The clothes come out great too!!!!

I'm a front loader fan.... I had an lg 7kg as my first one and lived it.... In singas the house came with an lg 8kg I think....a bit more techno than my first one but lived it.... Especially coz it had a baby clothes cycle which I used for nappies and a quick 30 minute cycle. Here in uk I got a Hoover 9kg. I think I like the lg better!!

get a bosch frontloader!!

Yep I'm with Olive. Get a Bosch frontloader. They are by far (IMHO) the best on the market. Mine uses a total of 56L per wash - scary how low it is! And very good with electricity.

and mine has a 15min "freshenup/quickwash" cycle... love it!

So the front loaders use less water & electricity do they? How big machine should I be looking at for a family of 4 (hopefully 5 )

[Little Chicken]

They do but their cycles are longer. Mine takes 1 hour and 50 minutes to wash a full load on the cotton cycle (the longest one). Have a family of four, can do a full basket in one load.

I can recommend NOT getting an LG.... no one services them!!!
