Siemens washing machine is good. Bought one in 2003. Still working. In between whenever something goes wrong( very few times, considering we live in Mumbai and the weather is not condusive.
We even have a drier in the same room - kept above the machine). - whenever anything has gone wrong, the service is very good. They promptly land up at our place. Excellent after sales service. In the end, this is what that matters. The machine works fine. 5kg front load. 8.5 years and still going strong.
