Planning to get a fully automatic Front load/top load washing machine in the upcoming BBD but confused which company to choose.
Heard LG is good and after sales service also good but the models available on Flipkart are.not the latest ones.
IFB was recommended by many on DD but at the same time many people said service of IFB is bad.
Bosch was recommended by many but no reviews on their service.
Samsung's washing machine wasn't recommended but their after sales service was termed as good.


So confused where to turn my head to.
For reference regarding after sales service , i reside in Delhi.

Is there any cost difference for washing clothes between front and top load washing machines? I can see front load detergents are very expensive compared to the ones used in top load. How does that compare?

That depends totally on u, though for front load powder based are not recommended, they say it has sand in it and get deposited into front load, so they recommend only liquid based. Though, u can use any, but need descaler and proper cleaning at regular intervals. Go with front load and lg. Aankh band karke, inbuilt heater wala lena.

Buying front load or top load has its own advantages.

1. Heavy jeans , trousers or bedsheets, blankets front load washing is d best.
2. Front load machines take minimum 2 hrs for a regular wash n drying apart from woolen wash with is available for 45 mins wash. Heavy clothes with prewash n soak can take 2hrs n 30 mins. But good clean wash.
3. Top load 45 mins for a wash. Half tub wash finishes within 30 mins for fewer clothes. This can be helpful for quick and everyday clothing wash.

Own both top and front load machines.
Front load IFB senator 6 kgs 15 yrs old. Best wash. Had a problem once, almost 6yrs bk. Service was bit pathetic then.

LG top load 12 yrs old, had a problem once with this too.service n customer care ok. convenient for everyday clothes n quick wash. Blessing during rainy season.

Buying any machine go for metal drum n not plastic drum with in built geyser. Both my machines have that features.

I use surf excel front load for both. Dirt removal at its best.

Any machines post sales , they will suggest u with additional products to buy to maintain d machines well.

Descalar powder instead i use baking soda n vinegar once in a  month.
Water softener attachment as we use well water but dint go for it.
Stabilizers for voltage fluctuations, we dint buy any.

Ifb cuffs n collars best product for formal shirts. Cleans best without having to scrub shirt collars. Have used other brand cuffs n collars, which r acid based generally and can get collar fabric torn even without scrubbing within few washes.

My parents have used IFB front load for 35 yrs. Recently changed to Bosch. 

Before buying keep ur requirements in  thought. Do visit offline stores to get a clear picture.

Compare prices models online n offline n buy. After placing order, the process, warranty is anywhere d same, so buying it offline or online no changes except for offers.

If wash quality is your preference then front load. If you have elders at home who find it difficult to bend then top load. Front load uses less water and removes more water from the clothes so drying time is less. Choose based on your preferences and living conditions.
  
  Some people mentioned about type of detergent. It just doesn't matter. You can use Rin also in any type of washing machine. No need to spend ₹150 per kg for washing machine powder unless you are rich or ignorant. The difference is in the foam generated through chemicals. Washing machine specific powders aim to generate less foam without compromising wash quality. If the foam is high like with hand wash powders like Rin, the machine can struggle to drain it out completely and can give you an error (and can be fixed easily). That happens when the clothes load is less.

  Companies need new products to increase sales. That's how liquid detergents came. Recently washing pod (tablets) came. Liquid detergents are higher concentrated so give best wash quality. Choose based on your budget. LG or Samsung as their ASS is good.

I went for Samsung last year because they were offering 3 year comprehensive warranty with 12 year motor. Rest offer 2+10 year. Also Croma had an exclusive model which after offers was a great deal.
