We bought a Whirlpool Semi Automatic Aquashower C45, just a year ago. It sounds worse than an auto rickshaw going nuts in the house. We have complained about it and have had it attended to 3 times in the last month, the service guys come, open up the whole machine and then need to come back to replace some part or the other. This is not the quality one expects from an International brand, that too in the first year itself. The issue is certainly not the cost as yet, it is in warranty. But the warranty will expire in a few months, then it will surely pinch each time the machines needs a new part !
It is so loud and shaky and it seems now some brake system is spoiled. We had to buy a semi automatic one as we did not have continous water supply in our previous house. We considered the option of a buy back, but it is too costly to do that considering that one gets only about 1500 to 2000 in that case.
I do not recommend this machine.
