I think I finished reading all the Washing Machine threads at the board already.

I can't decide between Panasonic and LG - it's the brand with the most feedback (BOTH positive and negative) from members. What I hate the most is having to repair or service anything.

Sharp - not considering this brand because our Sharp TVs both had problems in less than 5 yrs.
Speed Queen - all positive feedback but it's too expensive
Whirl Pool - Positive feedback for the old models

Below are the factors I need to consider

1. Durability - it would last 10 yrs? It seems like most of the washing machines conk out in 6 to 8 yrs?
2. Size - Is 6 to 8 kg enough? I only wear shorts and tank top and will only do laundry once a week. Different load for fat labs toys, towel and bed sheet
3. Inverter or Non-inverter - 5 to 6 loads a week (we change sheets every 2 weeks and fat labs toys are not washed weekly)
4. Manual or Automatic - I want a washing machine where I will just load the clothes and come back when it needs to be air dried na
5. Front or Top load - I think top load is okay since I read that the price difference is huge
6. Functions - simple and not too much electronics or buttons
7. Budget - P20k maximum

It looks like the pandemic won't be over any time soon and it'll take a longer time before our labandera can report back to work. I really appreciate her more now because I had no idea how hard it was to hand wash a bath towel and clean fat labs toys (it gets so heavy when wet and so hard to rinse clean) I still prefer my clothes hand washed so the washing machine will probably be used just for bed sheets or towels when she's back to work.
