Shopping for a Washing Machine

Front-loader or Top-loader?

Taking into consideration our budget and mountains of clothes with limited time, I decided to get the biggest washer that I could find..

But who knew? The massive sounding 14kg (wet weight) toploaders could actually wash only the same amount as a 8kg (dry weight) front loader, who could also have hot washes (better to kill bacteria).. The price difference was RM500. What a con-job, they should all use the same measurements!

So after shortlisting 16 toploading washers from Samsung, Hitachi, Elextrolux ranging from 10-14kg(costing RM1000-2000), I ended up with a Samsung 8kg WF8802 front-loader costing RM2,400 from BEST (discount RM200 off listed price).

Yay!!
