Samsung washing Machine WT8207 AG is one of its class. It is a semi automatic washing machine with 6.3 lts capacity. Though it is semi automatic, it has soak function which is usually found only in fully automatic washing machines. It accepts both cold and hot water for washing. It has a plastic body which keeps it safe from corrosion and can be placed in your bathroom.
Though it is plastic base is not that sturdy for slippery tiles, you may wont to keep a wooden support beneath it to support that. It has a technology called double pulsator storm that helps cleaning of clothes. As it is a semi automatic machine, one has complete control over the amount of water needed for cleaning. Its drying tub, also used as rinse tub, is effective in drying as well as squeezing out the left over soap lather from the machine. It is priced around Rs 6700 ( you may want to press for discount to get this price). I got it in Nov 2009, and in the past an year or so, it has been working absolutely fine.
It comes with 1 yr onsite warranty. Being a semi automatic it also gives you the facility to wash one lot of clothes and simultaneously dry the other lot. the controls for the machine are electromagnetic ( not electronic).
The disadvantage that I have seen with this washing machine is that, although, you can wash fairly larger amount of clothes in the wash tub, the drying tub can accommodate only limited no of clothes. Also it has a small pipe for water outlet which is common in washing machine these days, I had to buy an extension for this.
