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.
Have you browsed sa mall na? We browsed a few weeks ago and it seems I don't remember seeing inverter washing machine below 20k. Or maybe hindi lang kami nag hanap sa ibang store.

Nagrereklamo na wife ko sa current Samsung namin na minsan hindi na pantay yung tub sa loob. I don't really know what's really wrong because I don't do laundry. [emoji23]

I'm assuming we will need to buy a new one within 1 to 2 years. I'm contemplating if the more expensive inverter is worth the extra cash, since ako din nagbabayad ng kuryente. [emoji23]
