    Washing machines

    HI All,

    Finally found a washing machine that got good reviews. Does anyone own an Electrolux and what do they think of it?

    This is the model i am interested in 8kg. 1200rpm spin speed. 4 star energy. WELS 4.5 star, 68L/wash. Big value. EWF1083

    Does anyone have a washing machine they absolutely swear by which is under $700 (after $150 rebate?)

    Thanks in advance!

    I have an Hitachi top loader which I love because the agitator is just in the bottom so the clothes don't get tangled. I have had it for years with no problems.
    It spins well and can do different size washes, spins and rinses.
    Another thing I like about the top loader is that if you want to throw something after it starts you can and it washes quicker than a front loader.

    Forgot to update this but we purchased a washing machine a few weeks ago. LOVE IT.

    I read the reviews on it and everyone loves it (4.5 stars for the reviews).

    It is the bosch frontloader. The only problem is that we got a 6.5kg which is quite small.

    There is a 15min option which is great for towels and new clothes and it gives u the remaining time!

    LOVE IT. Btw it is 4.5 star water rating too.

    The model is WAE20260AU ( I THINK)
