After being accustomed to Semi-Automatic Washing machine for years, our family really suffered from a kind of phobia towards thinking about a change to a Fully-Automatic Washing machine. Some how we kept on servicing our old Semi-Automatic washing machine for near to two years after using it for more than 8 years. The day has come and we decided to move on for a new washing machine and short listed many semi-automatic washing machine and fully automatic washing machines.
The decision was made later to go on for a Fully-Automatic washing machine. We shortlisted, **IFB, LG, Samsung & Videocon.** From this again we drilled down with few factors like Price and Prior Users Verdict. Now **LG & Samsung** was left out with us. After much consideration on pricing and the technological facilites we went in for **Samsung**.We didn’t have any issues with Samsung as well as LG Service, as we have one Samsung A/C & one LG A/c @ our home and we were quiet sure about their service.
Demo from the company; like for years it has not improved. Almost this might have been faced by many of MS users and other consumers. After Buying a product, installation and demo will be either done by themselves or by paying a nearby technological guy. Demo guys come after couple of days.The washing machine’s body could have been made more sturdy. Drawing water from pump is determined by a Fuzzy logic built in to the Washing machine and we don’t have any control over that if it’s been kept in Fuzzy Logic Mode. For a desecent amount of cloth the minimum washing time is near to 1 Hour. In this 1 Hour it fills the tub twice: Wash, Rinse.The collar and corner dirts are removed to satisfaction, however, we cannot grade that as excellent. Overall it pulls out the dirt properly. And dries the cloth well too.
**AG+
**
There is a mode called **"Silver Wash", ** wherein Odour & Germs removal is done. This is quite a revolution in washing mahine, but still I haven’t tested the germs level in the cloth after using this. Of course it removes the odour very well. What the company claims for AG+ is:
STAGE 1 - Electrolysis and formation of silver ions
STAGE 2 - Permeation of silver ions into fabric during wash and rinse cycles
STAGE 3- 99.9999% reduction of bacteria in fabric and protection from bacteria growth for up to one month.
**Air Turbo
**This facility is really good, it gives you the cloth with **almost dried** condition, just Iron the cloth and wear it. Very useful for rainy seasons. But, the time taken is bit high to do this. There is a Child Lock facility too, but I have never used this. At the end of the washing process, we will be intimated by a music by the washing machine. It’s more than 5 months, I haven’t faced any problems. Overall I am very much satisfied with the Washing Machine.
