Which washing machine?

Thanks. Actually I realized now I've another confusion apart from the Brand selection.

Which MODEL to select? I mean there will be so many models in each brand. How will I know which model is the latest one & which is an older model? You know how pakistani dealers always trick the buyers.

So if I call Smart Zone, how can I possibly know which Model or Samsung I want to buy? OR of which Model's Price I should ask?

Even if I search for different models on the internet, I don't know whether that is the latest model or not, or whether it will be available in the market or not!

Any suggestions, so I can get the LATEST & BEST Product for myself.

Thanks

Hi Ammar,

Did you already purchased your washing machine? If yes, please share with us, the brand, model, price & experience.

If not, please share your findings so far. I'm also looking forward to buy an automatic washing machine. Brand I'm considering are Haier & Samsung. Please share price ideas with me, if you've some knowledge. Thanks.

btw @umans, do you recommend Samsung or Haier?

I'm a fan of Samsung & not much impressed by Haier, since its a local manufacturing company now. What you suggest?

Also I just checked Smart Zone official website & saw your Model (WA90G9) as well, selling for 27K. There was another model (WA11F5S2UWW). selling for 35.5K, this one is 11KG capacity & supports Denim (Jeans) wash. Should I prefer this model, just bcoz it supports Jeans wash? Or we can wash Jeans even in the Model (WA90G9) despite the fact the websites > Jeans = NO.

AND from where did you purchased your machines? Did the guy who initially asked 35K reduced it to 27K? Or you purchased from another store?

AND can I purchase direct from Smart Zone? Are they reliable for direct purchase? (I'm asking bcoz some dealers are not so famous, so they've less stock and rather stock that was brought to their store a long time ago for sale. So I prefer busy shops where fresh stock is tucked in regularly. (I also prefer how the shop looks, big, clean, or old dirty lol I know it may sound weird, but just my personal preference.

What you suggest?

Thanks

I visited local market and checked the Samsung WA90G9, it looked too tiny and the guy at the shop told me its just 6KG, (9KG on the label is only a show off) and this machine is only good to wash kids clothing, well I guess he was right bcoz it looked too small.

He showed me a Haier washing machine, which was 8KG, 31K, that was a reasonable size. I'm not sure of the model No, but I guess it was HWM 80-828. I think I'll get that one.

I checked on Haier website, there are 2 similar models. Can you please check both & let me know what's the difference?

Ali,

Thus far im only convinced by the panasonic. You've reported that the samsung is far too small. Reason i would pay extra for panasonic is that its imported(taiwanese or thai), and i think being a panasonic it will last a long time. We have a national machine which has been serving us for the last 25 years with just belt changes as maintenance. Same for 'zoppas' fridge and i want appliances as sturdy as these

Ok, did you already purchased Panasonic? What is the capacity? What is the price range? Can you please link me to its Specs link?

I noticed there is not much range in Samsung either, so I might be stuck with Haier (Fully Automatic), bcoz I'm not willing to pay too much. My budget is around 30K

Guys any personal experience reviews for haier fully automatic machines?

Thanks.

I purchased a Kenwood KWM 7050 Washing Machine, its 7.5KG, 34K. We purchased from an old friendly dealer. He told us that Haier washing machines start getting issues after sometime, while Kenwood is solid & stable and it is less likely to have issues.

i know its old thread i just want to get feedback of current market brands, i am looking for 6-7kg full automatic machine, which brand should i consider and why?

Samsung's complete range is available at hyperstar and metro as well, I believe viewing it there will save you from dealer manipulation after that you can buy from wherever you find it cheaper. Best of luck!

By dealer manipulation I mean the dealer attempts to sell you the product that gives them bigger margin. Try to get from an official dealer .

Here's complete range of Samsung top loaders on offer in pakistan

Also Kenwood's another good option, you can get 10kg capacity one in 45k. Samsung's 10kg ones will touch 60k I think.

i am looking for 6-7 kg durable auto machine and my other preference is the service center availability in Rawalpindi / Islamabad area. Has anyone tried new models of Haier http://www.haier.com/pk/products/washing_machine/ ?

Just few hours back I have purchased 8kg front loading inverter washing machine from LG. It's direct drive with 10 years local warranty on motor and 1 years for parts and service.
Let's see how it performs.

abart 2018-03-21 09:38:44 +0500 #56

do we have panasonic local service centers?

abart 2018-03-21 09:40:56 +0500 #57

I haven't heard good reviews from few people in office about LG ,
Other than LG in market Haier, Samsung, Kenwood are common brands for auto washing machine, i am still confused which one should i buy

Haier guys come easily for repair and maintenance but I don't really have kind of excellent experience with their products, the AC became a headache last year, they took it 3 times for repair and it costed a lot. It's not even much old ...but they do come for repair work within 1 or 2 days of registering the complaint.

usman19854 (usman19854) 2018-03-21 13:09:16 +0500 #59

Samsung home appliances are usually very reliable, I've a Samsung microwave for last 5 years and a samsung dish receiver for last 18 years never had a problem.
