The Good Guys had Electrolux, Bosch, Samsung and Whirlpool all for under $1000, but trying to work out which to get. I will look at the Samsung and Whirlpool models suggested... So it sounds like it might be a lucky dip a little bit? Dive in and hope for the best? I think as long as you buy a reputable brand and get an extended warranty then you will be safe. Re: What Front Loader would you buy? 16Mar 05, 2009 10:57 pm We bought an Asko about 10 years ago, based on testing by Choice. (Where else do you find genuine independent reviews?) Because one of our family is sensitive to washing powder residue, the lower levels of chemical residue with the extended rinse cycle, with water usage still so much lower than most others, was a very attractive feature. We also liked the faster spin speed as we place clothes on an inside line more often than not, the low noise level, and the solid seal between the drum and the door.
Our one dislike was addressed in the next model released (more memories for storing the washing programmes that you set up). We had one issue with the Asko: it started periodically squealing. That was fixed under warranty and the unit has run perfectely since then. Yes, we extended our budget to purchase this, but given that we expect another ten years from it at least, and the lower running costs have now made up the difference in the purchase costs, we feel we were justified in doing this. If only all our choices in appliances were that successful! Sigh. Re: What Front Loader would you buy? 17Mar 06, 2009 8:00 am i got an electrolux based on the choice reviews and am happy with it.
picked it up for under a grand at rick hart. 8kg model. Has a quick wash function and a handwash function that i use all the time. Re: What Front Loader would you buy? 18Mar 07, 2009 2:20 am Working in mining, when I saw the post topic, I immediately thought of one of these front end loaders
