I bought an IFB 5KG washing machine in year 2000. It is still running fine. Couple of times I had to call repair service to fix some noise and wobbling, costing me around Rs. 7000 to 8000. That is over a period of 15 years. I have seen other washing machines come and go with my relatives and neighbors, but mine still runs. My wife is rather unhappy that it has not gone bad, she wants to by a new one that takes liquid soap.
