I am in the market for a 7 kg front-load washing machine. These are the models I have shortlisted -

Panasonic 7 kg Fully Automatic Front Load Washing Machine with In-built Heater Silver (NA-147MH2L01) - this seems to be a new product and there are not many reviews. Two-year warranty
Haier 8 kg AI with Inverter Motor, IPuristeam and Refresh Function, Anti Bacterial Technology, Super Drum 525mm with Custom Wash Programs Fully Automatic Front Load Washing Machine Black, White (HW80-IM12929C) - I am attracted due to the 5-year warranty period of this machine. While the spec mentions 1200 rpm speed, some reviews stated it's only 1000 rpm. I am not sure what to believe
IFB 7 kg 5 Star with Steam Refresh program, 9 Swirl Wash, Eco Inverter, Powered by AI with Wifi Fully Automatic Front Load Washing Machine with In-built Heater Grey (SERENA GXN 7012) - attracted due to 4-year warranty period. Many indicated that IFB is a trusted brand when it comes to washing machines.
LG 7 Kg 5 Star Direct Drive Technology, Steam Wash, 6 Motion DD, Fully-Automatic Front Load Washing Machine (FHB1207Z2M, Allergy Care, In-Built Heater, Touch Panel, 2024 model, Middle Black) - LG seems to be a trusted brand by everyone. 2-year warranty
Bosch 7 kg 5 Star Fully-Automatic Front Loading Washing Machine (WAJ24209IN, Black, AI active water plus, In-Built Heater, BLDC Inverter motor, Steam) - Bosch appears to be the best in class but spares can be pricey people say. 2-year warranty

Thank you all for your suggestions. I went ahead with LG yesterday and expect it to be delivered on Tuesday. Got a discount of ₹5500 as below - ₹49 offer handling fee made it ₹24539. @jain_arihant @four @gakarshit @DJ_123 @Kaal_Raatri @ProLootersPL

Got a ₹500 Mia coupon and I am not sure what to buy with that. Furthermore, I have NeuCoins as well.

Have heard from some dimers that Haier's after sales support isn't that great..would suggest sticking to old, trusted brands like LG or Samsung

Also this thread might be worth checking:))

During Covid, Samsung automatic washing machines came with a 3 year comprehensive, sadly they’ve changed it now.

Also check for extended brand warranty (directly from brand). You'll get good deal during this period. Accordingly decide.

LG direct drive is relatively new tech (Yes maybe older than 10yrs but still comparatively new as per industry) It has many new features related to wifi & app. If it matters to you then select LG otherwise select Bosch.

Most reviews kept mentioning LG/ IFB/ Bosch and Samsung fell off my radar. Looks like I will have to check them as well.

@gakarshit957 Phir tou 👄chummalicious💋 hai.. agar Chinese made parts jyada nahi hue 8806096076941 mein.. tou.

Plumbing, fitting mila kar ke bhi.. it might come under his budget of 25000.

Aur waise tou 40 lakhs residents se jyada waali cities mein.. LG khud hee apne service centres operate karta hai
but even if the service centre is operated by a third-party (authorised service centre).. them too.. LG does not remain blind.. to whatever technicians are hired.

for brands like Bosch.. we are just another poor but aspirational country. If both Bosch and the Koreans have a product at 29,990₹, then the chaebols will be miles ahead, both in workmanship and in the overa-all 'value for money'.

wonderful🙂

Good wishes on the new acquisition.
May it give your error free operations for decades.

Folks paid through the nose (all offline purchsses) for inverter products (in 2014) for what the marketeers back then told them to be the next big thing after the invention of velcro.

In that sense, this is a fairly good price for a fairly good product.
