May be top loaders are harsher on clothes but not significantly enough for me to notice. My current washing machine is an LG 6.5 Fully Automatic Top Loader which is the only machine I am using in the last 7 years. I haven't noticed any problems with having to throw away clothes pre-maturely. My shirts last for years. My jeans last for a year or 2 - my use is rough & this is the same as they do for me with maids washing. Other than that, in 7 years only one washing machine part has failed - a sensor failed after 5 odd years & it cost 45 Rs + labour to replace. And LG's customer service is outstanding. | |

I zeroed in on LG front loading washing maching F8068LDP model and got it from Kohinoor for 21K (Diwali offer and lot of haggling). My old w/m was bought by my maid for 2K , so effectively the Front loader came for a price of 18K. | |

There is still the matter of the missing 1K which you need to explain. |

Never considered Samsung for washing machines. Now I will have a look at Samsung and LG too. What about the Indian brands - Videocon, Godrej and others? | |||||

Indian brands do have takers but not the higher end variants. I was surprised to know (as told by SA) that Videocon semi automatics sell moe than the fully automatics ones but esp in Tier 3 cities. | |

The Samsung has been a peach of a machine. Never had to call service in 17 months with 2 wash cycles daily. I now believe it is best to buy entry level machines use them for 3-4 years and then get rid of them. | |

When you select the wash program, the spin speed will be set. It may be possible to adjust it down, but may not be possible to adjust it up. This, a "Delicates" or "Silk" wash may suggest or even enforce a slower spin speed. Our LG goes to 1200. I would only ever use that during monsoon. For the rest of the year, even 800 is high enough that the climate finishes the drying process in a few hours. | |||

. Normal clothes rack (one with six to ten horizontal rows of bars on a vertical frame) . Hot Air Blower (used extensively for heating rooms. Came with a 3 speed fan) under it. This worked till we got a front loader washing machine. After spin dry at 1000 RPM, clothes dry fast in Delhi weather, even in rainy season. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Iam in the market to buy a chimney and stove. How is Glen as a brand to buy Chimney and Hobs? I know the AP Distributor and getting an awesome deal and may go with this brand most likely Btw, was told by the owner that hobs are good only for design purpose but, cooks food slowly thereby increasing the gas consumption compared to normal stoves. Is this true? |

One suggestion in new models of hobs(3 or 4 burner) one of the burner are hot plates. If you get this then you can think considering availability of subsidized gas ![]() | |
