We bought a videocon semi-automatic washing machine 6 years back.which is a true work horse, we having using it on a daily basis and we use it to wash the clothes of 8 people it is really a wonderful machine and only once I had a problem where the water was leaking from the tub and it cost me Rs.1200 to repair apart from which my videocon washing machine is a true engineering marvel .i personally believe that many people have a craze for international products and sidelining our indian manufacturers, our indian players are really world class players.who can match the technology of other foreign manufacturers or may be even exceed them and also I would include another information .We bought a bpl tv 1989 and its working wonderful still date also I have to mention that I am not criticising the international manufacturers, so to sum up videocon semi-automatic washing machine is a really wonderful product which is very east to operate, low maintenance costs, heavy duty performance and low running costs.
