I had checked out the features of different machines before buying this one. While looking around, I was told by people to get a front-loading machine only as it was supposed to be the best. I had previously used Electrolux for 6 months at another place. It was OK, but then I was in another country & wasnt sure if it would be good in India as well.
When I went looking around, this was the cheapest one available at 13500/-. After that they keep shifting the price points for small features additions. Now I dont know whether I really want to use too many wash cycles. I just need two, one for woolen or delicate clothes & another for normal clothes. In the Electrolux which I previously used, there were many types of wash cycles, but I never used more than one. This machine had just two. So I guess for simplicity sake its OK.
Clothes coming out from this machine are reasonably dry & after a couple of hours in the sun can be put for ironing.
Can only say that I am pretty satisfied with this machine.
