Planning to purchase this washing machine for a while, and alway around $900 on the market, but when I randomly search it online today, it is $699.
I would say $699 including free delivery is a good deal, but this price is only for WHITE.
NOTE: this product cannot be delivered to a number of postcodes in NSW, QLD, VIC and WA (as well as all of TAS and NT).
You gunna steal it?
Nah it would be too heavy to lift a home
Samsung is the only brand that can get away with so much anti-consumer behaviour and quality control issues.
People need to stop buying their products if they care about their own safety.
It's not Samsung, it's inadequate consumer protection laws Australia has. Companies do whatever they can legally get away with.
I have the 12kg samsung dryer and it's great, waiting for a special on 12kg washer
12kg top or front?
it's actually a 10kg front dryer.
Washer can be front or top, doesn't matter but hoping for at least 12kg
no agitator either, so should be gentle on clothes.
Wait for a Bosch to be on sale at good guys, find one made in Germany, then haggle.
How to get a washing machine that lasts 10 years.
Bought one in 2017.
Feels like a Toyota washing machine.
My last made in china washing machine lasted over 10 years (bought it used) and resold it for a hundy
I’ve got an LG top loader since 2009. Still perfect
Bought one made in Germany. Main board died right after warranty lapsed. Replacement main board costs almost the same as a new same model washing machine. The tech said the board was designed poorly that it'd die again even if I get a new one. I'd rather buy 2-3 Chinese/Turkish washing machines, surely they'd outlast a Bosch. And it won't be so painful on the wallet to replace them if they die.
You can try ACL.
Read the reviews on Samsung washing machines first. Very bad.
Samsung machines are actually the worst.
Get Fisher and Paykel and thank yourself for it later.
My first fisher & paykel lasted 32 years .the one I purchased 4 years ago has broken down 4 times f&p has now refunded me and I got a German made Bosch .
Now wait till Bosch breaks down. Neither of them make them like they used to, every manufacturer is cutting costs. They even re-engineer existing models and replace components to cheaper ones. It's a cunning technique - one would buy based on old reviews of an absolutely different product but sold under the same model.
From experience with 2 different Samsung… don't touch them please.
The first one was a 6.5KG? front loader washer + dryer combo (with bubble wash and hot air wash). The drum spider was made with idk what material that after ~2 years it corroded to bits and broke from the drum (whilst the drum is perfectly intact). Very much planned obsolescence. I bought and replaced that part (~$140) myself and it's chugging along with the exception that the "hot air wash function is dead". If it was out of warranty, that drum spider repair + labor would make more sense to buy a new one.
The second one was a much bigger 11KG? front loader with the "add wash" function. After it ran out of warranty, the main board died. I bought and replaced the main board (~$150) and got it working again. Very soon after that, it would absolutely refuse to complete the spin dry function. It'll start at 11 minutes, spin slowly and ramp up… and drop from the 8 minute mark to 1 min and finished. I tried everything from going through the engineering/self diagnostic menu, calibrating the drum, doing small loads, no loads, large loads, even disconnecting and hanging the knock sensor… nothing would fix it. After just using it to wash for another 4 months or so, it threw up and error and refused to spin. That was the end of it.
From now on, it's German made Bosch or Miele only. I heard Beko was good too but don't have any personal experience.
Just saw that some Miele now come with 10yr warranty.
You can get possibly 5% for app order , 10% loyalty discount and $100 for trade -in(if you have for some models)
Will the top panel holding the lid in place rust like my last one?
Never buying a samsung product again - not recommended.
Make sure your home insurance policy is up to date
