Washing machine

Sun drying is still best ... exposing fabric to heat (whether for drying or hot water washing) will eventually damage them ...

Using the proper washer and dryer settings work fine for us whether it's the wife's most delicate lace or a Korean (faux) mink blanket.

When I visited the PH back in 2013, it was the rainy season and my clothes had a hard time getting dry because of the humidity. When they did dry, there was a funky smell like my feet.

Lol wax ko nga rin ng collinite and yung mga digital pindutan nilagyan ko plastic cover as water protection.
Laki ginhawa sa kasambahay halos hindi na mabasa ang kamay niya and pwede narin ako maglaba kaya for me sulit. Hehehe.
Now observe ko water and elect consumption pero tingen ko same lang or mas matipid pa to sa twin tub, if ever malakas nga sa water, 300 plus lang naman bill ko so kung kahit madouble pa siya okay lang hehehe.

Tahimik siya mag operate parang chill lang sana tumagal.

Gano na katagal mo soyang gamit?

Inlaw ko pala ganito din gamit morethan 1 year na okay pa naman daw.

3 - 5 months na yata bro. almost everyday nagagamit, siguro on average 2 loads a day. punuan pa yan kasi tamad kami maglaba dito lahat ^_^
plano ko pa bumili ng isa sa december, para isang load lang per 40+ minutes. kakatamad din kasi mag intay ng isang load tapos salang ulit ng bago. btw sobrang tahimik nga nyan maski sa spin dry part ^_^

Wish there was a local website that reviewed and compared home appliances like what they do with vehicles ... washing machines, irons, refrigerators ...

there are US literature available. but the models there aren't always the same quality of the models here.
one has to look for them here, however.
i come across similar books in the booksale club stores.

google 'em, sir. "the best ____".

Shopping for a full auto washing machine. Is an inverter type worth it?

Is LG good? Cheapest among the known brands.

panget lint filter ng LG ko. check the lint filter bro. I use 3m lint removers. it sucks. avoid na lng yun low end LG.

also front loader for faster drying and gentler on clothes.

thanks for the tip pero parang mas preferred ko yata ang top loading para lang posibleng i-interrupt ang wash cycle to add or remove clothes mid-cycle.

how about inverter type? so far, all i know is it keeps washing quiet since the motor is speed-regulated. we always wash in the daytime in the garage outside so noise isn't an issue. in terms of energy savings though, big difference ba o hindi naman ramdam? Yung price difference kasi ng non- at inverter type enough na para makakuha ng higher-capacity washer.

Im solo so non inverter is a non issue, but if youre a family of 5-7 nakaka rami din ng load yan. go for the inverter.

thanks sa tip!

Got an LG LG FC1206N4W inverter front load for about 25T ... They say front load uses less water and cleans better ...

Good decision and yes they're correct.

Just cant understand why it is a lot more expensive than the top load model.

[dr. d]

front loaders have to be watertight all around.
top load is just a spinning bucket with a cover.

priced higher because of its advantages over the toploaders: uses less water and spin drys better and cleans better.

Almost got an LG FC1206N4W also - very good value at 23k vs more expensive front-loaders usually at the 30k range.



However, I decided to go for a top-loader instead because I don't think a front-load is worth the money.

First, water is cheap in the Philippines. It would take decades before you recoup the price difference between a top and front load.

Second, I feel that the "superior" washing quality is just hype. We've had both front and top loading washing machines before. No noticeable difference in washing, hindi rin nasisira yung clothes. Today's top-loaders no longer have the violent impeller of cheap washing machines of yesteryear.

I ultimately went for a Panasonic top loader for less than half the price of the LG.

i'm thinking of getting a dual tub, in lieu of the fully automatic single tubs.
cheaper, and less intricate manufacture that i'm equating with less mal-function.
yun lang nga, it needs a more visible physical presence... that our default washing machine can easily provide.
"our default washing machine, her name is manang."
i do not know, why these not-young 'uns prefer hand-washing over machine-washing.

Same sentiments, as long as it gives me the convenience of automizing the process, the price difference outweighs the advantage of a front loader, perceived or not.

our old electro-mechanical single tub all-automatic, lasted 8 years. we had to finally retire her, because the metal body had rusted out and was in danger of collapsing. at that time, we could not find a craftsman who would fabricate a replacement body.
how long has that panasonic been with you? ok ba?
