Bosch, ifb , Samsung, lg.... Which brand is best for a front load washing machine. Planning to buy one. Kindly help me...
I'm currently having the 8kg version of the same samsung model.
I bought it from flipkart after exchange of old washing machine. It costed me 23k
It is good and there is no vibrations felt if we place it properly. There is no issue with the wash and it is doing the work what is intended to do.
Coming to the direct drive and belt driven mechanism each has its own advantage and disadvantage.
The only point which made me to move away from LG is if the direct drive motor fails the entire assembly along with drum needs be replaced. The direct drive Motor bears the full load of the clothes in the drum as well.
For belt drive it will have wear and tear which needs to be addressed as well
I just had to pick between 8kg Samsung vs 9kg LG both AI+WiFi front load washers on FK & incidentally the price after card+exchange was exactly the same.
Thank you @DarkHorse24 I picked LG for the simple reason that while LG provides 10 year warranty on it's direct drive motor, Samsung provides no similar long term warranty on its belt (2 year "comprehensive" and then you can pay for up to 3 years EW).
Samsung has a cleverly disguised 20 year warranty on offer but that is for the motor- not for the belt- trying to be over smart- which did not sit well with me. Besides a realisation that a belt made of rubber will inevitably harden and loosen over time, especially under loads up to 1400 RPM- hence direct drive is better.
Energy and water requirement-
Mind you the LG is 1kg bigger!
I also currently suffer the dilemma of choosing high AMC of IFB or super expensive repairs/spares if out of AMC. The middle path I have chosen for now is to rely on UC for repairs.
Glad you chose LG.... Just a small advice If your washing machine is within 30 days. Take 3 years extended warranty for 6k from LG. Its a comprehensive AMC which covers everything even visits by technician. Try to bargain with the executive who comes for AMC or ask them for freebies. They give freebies on AMC. Have a great day.
At 25000 Lg 7kg washing machine is a better deal. U don't get wifi in that but u get direct drive. Samsung machine works on belt system which is not the case in lg and samsung does not cover those belts in warranty. So later on u will have a good amount to pay for repair or replacement of belts. No offence against the deal.
