Yes. I read about the 4 hours on mouthshut as well. Coupled with the high power consumption, this would mean spending a lot for drying. Now I know why these models are hardly seen in the showrooms. | ||

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() After waiting for so many days and also after committing to Glen and in these days of consumer being king, I was chasing them to get it fitted. What the heck !!! Glen fella confirmed he'll fit the chimney yesterday. He didnt turn up and didnt even bother to call me. I siezed this opportunity and immediately changed my mind and went with my back-up who is also known to me from Planet and was getting a slightly better deal Paid up-front and will get the Planet Chimney + Stove fitted tomorrow. Planet chimney comes with a 1100 cu.ft suction power compared to 1000 cu.ft from Glen and at a cheaper price. Whew, enough of it. I never spend so much time buying my cars and bikes ![]() |

| ![]() I had one in UK a long time back, and yes, the drying, to wearable dry, takes hours and lots of electricity. |

| ![]() I think the peak load is about 3kW and total time is about 3 hours. It is not 3kW all the time. The better ones also cool down the clothes towards the end by just running in air while tumbling. This tends to reduce the creasing of the clothes. |

| ![]() Does anyone have experience with Sharp top loading washing machine? I am currently searching for a top loading in 20k budget, and this one seems interesting. http://www.sharpproducts.in/productd...x?cid=15&id=35 |

| ![]() ^^^ Thanks for the reply. Checked the Sharp Washing Machine yesterday. It has only 2 years warranty, whereas some models in Samsung and LG have 2 years warranty on machine and 10 years warranty on motor. Also, the ABS body is not 'confidence inspiring'. So dropped Sharp from the list. We checked Samsung options, and found this one to be good: http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/h.../WA85BWMEH/XTL It has 10 years warranty on motor. Does this wobble technology works? |

| ![]() I have an LG, and have had one for nearly a decade. Now with Samsung service outsourced that may be an issue. I have had no problems with LG service - except the 1800 no may not be working. e-mail or calling up the local guys gets a fast response. As a friend puts it, they seem to be just waiting for a call. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() IIRC this Samsung w/m is belt driven. Are you sure the motor comes with 10 yrs warranty. Havent heard of any manufacturer providing the warranty for that long on a top loading one. Front loading I can agree. |

| ![]() ^Those looking for washing machines from Godrej, Whirlpool and IFB, do keep an eye on Indiatimes shopping site. They have regular discounts/ offers. However since none of these three brands are in my short list, this is generally of no use to me. |

| ![]() Where can I buy descaling power (used for removing hard water deposits from the washing machine tub) ? I had purchased one sachet of Scale out descaling powder from the Samsung guy who came for installation (Mine is a top loader). I have noticed an improvement in the washing effectiveness of the machine after performing descaling (after using the washing machine for about 2 years).
