Buying a washing machine involves a lot of thinking and planning. One has to consider some of the following
Space available [ the dimemsions of the wahing machine]
Washing load
Plumbing available
Water supply timings [ A big issue in Mumbai]
User driven features [ like extra soak/ quick wash/ extra dry/ water level etc
We had decided to replace our old automatic wasing maching [ BPL ABS 4.5 kg] as it had served us faithfully for 10 years and now has started developing problems. We only wanted a top leading machine with good user driven features. We wanted a minimum of 6 kgs capacity.
We finally zeroed on Samsung WA82V5G which has a 6.2 kgs capacity. The width of the machine is 540 mm and the depth is 560 mm making it pretty sleek for a machine of its capacity. The modes are briiliant and convienient to use.
It has a transparent lid and a load sensor. The air drier is a good option if you want you clothes to be extra dry. The lint filter is also very effective and easy to clean.
It has various modes and wash options. The washing maching comes with the normal PVC drum and the stainless steel drum option.
We purchased our washing machine from Vijay Sales, Borivali, whose saleaman did a brilliant job expaining the various options we had while choosing our wahing machine.
We have been using this washing machine for over 3 months and must say that we are very happy with what we bought.
The washing maching cost us a net Rs 9900/- in exchange for our old wasing machine.
Stongly reccommending this machine for people who want value for money.
