[twnks]

we just bought a panasonic automatic top loader with spin dryer, 6.5kg

ang ganda ng performance nya, 3yrs warranty. i just put al our clothes in tas forget about it. wait nalang ng beep that signals na finished na.

[tut_chang]

how much for that sis twnks?

[twnks]

^it was almost 14k.. sorry di ko alam exact price.. dagdag kasi yung delivery tsaka additional warraty para maging 3 years.

[twelve5]

uh-oh, di compatible yung h20 supply hose ng samsung wa13vp sa threaded faucet ko. i need to have my faucet changed pa unless i could find a faucet adapter in hardware stores. 

btw nag price increase yung model na binili ko. coughed up an additional 2k. 

update: went to handyman and was able to buy an adapter. bilib ako sa SA, malayo palang ako alam na nya kelangan ko. he saw me holding the hose kasi. sabi nya marami daw bumibili nun sa kanila.

hi mga sisses... i'll buy this weekend a fully automatic wm, LG. forgot the model.

ask ko lang sa mga meron ng mga fully automatic wm kung madali lang sya linisin, kelangan ba super lakas ng pressure ng water? may time kasi sa amin na minsan malakas, minsan mahina. worried ko baka di applicable sa amin ito..

help po.. thanks.

[twnks]

^as for the water pressure, kahit mahina sya but yung WM mo has to be in an angle as well as the water hose, na para makaakyat ng maayos yung water. hindi ko ma explain ng maayos, sorry. hihih!

[jansy]

^thanks sis. 

sana this is the answer to my prayer na wag ng maglaba yet cleans clothes like kinusot. hehe... 

[lilstar]

mahal kaya sa kuryente ang automatic washing machine?

[twelve5]

the washer i got is 475 watts.

for comparison, an electric fan uses about  75.

[lilstar]

^ thanks.. mahal pala ano..

[jansy]

yehey!  just bought last weekend ng LG fuzzy logic and i can say na sya ang new bestfriend ko sa house. hahaha!

malinis naman maglaba and maganda magdry. yung ibang shirts, derecho plantsa ko na.  last night, i loaded it with jeans, and since mahina water sa amin kapag gabi, hinayaan ko na lang sya. kanina umaga, okay na mga jeans namin and sampay na lang.

so happy with this product. no more kusot for me (though i still handwash the underwears, yung humahawa/kumakatas, and sobrang dumi na damit). 

[clueless]

^^sis, nope, my samsung ww doesn't have agitator. And i believe, this agitator is not good for clothes

sis, can you tell me more please about the agitator? i haven't done enough research yet e pero baka may explanation ka na.

i want to buy a new washing machine kasi our 5-year old panasonic sira na yung spinner.

we want this whirlpool na made in the US, the kind they use at laundry shops pero top load. feeling kasi naman mas matibay yung kaha niya and mas ok yung controls/knobs. but according to the website, may agitator daw. the SA we talked to at avant wala naman na mention about agitator.

it's mga 32k for a unit with a 10kg capacity. we think it's a good buy na but i got worried when you mentioned that the agitator is not good for clothes.

thanks.

[hershey]

we've been using the whirlpool automatic washing machine for 15 years. ok naman siya malinis ang damit tapos pag labas nya medyo slightly dry na sya so no need for a dryer. di rin sya masyado lukot.tapos meron din sya timer, you'll know kung kelan ka na tapos kasi nagbuzz sya. kaya pag minsan pagod set ko lang iyong buzzer once nagstart then sleep na muna ako. basta i don't wash my panlakad na damit sa washing machine, handwash ko na lang sya to maintain the quality ng damit

re: agitator

my GE has the "screw" type agitator.  i've been using it for 8 -9 yrs and so far wala pa naman nagutay na damit.  although i only use the gentle cycle for all my clothes.

the agitator is equivalent the "kusot" action of handwashing, if im not mistaken. washers with agitators do a better job in cleaning vs ones w/o... although i've also read that you dont really need it unless you work in a coal mine. 

if you have kids baka better yung may agitator since kids really soil their clothes. grass stains, ketchup stains, dirt and soil, etc.

[clueless]

^ thanks for the reply. will ask nga the SA about that and will ask my husband to read on the model we want.

[jarjarbinks]

^sis clueless, sorry for late reply.

alam mo kasi, wala akong masyadong budget for high end appliances kaya kapag bumibili ako nang gamit, nag ri-research talaga ako. i make sure na worthy yung binili ko.

kung yung whirpool ang bibilhin mo na top load, may agitator yun. yung agitator eh yung tube sa gitna nang washing machine that looks like propeller nang ships.

pwedeng sa ibang may ari nang mga washing machines with agitator eh okay ang agitator, but not for me. imagine the cycle nang water sa loob ng washing machine. may bilog na sa bottom that controls the water inside the tub, kung paano at kung gaano kabilis ang ikot nang tubig.

ang washing machine kasi, hindi naman talaga naglilinis nang damit, kundi ang tubig. mas mabilis na ikot nang tubig sa damit (that passes through hibla nang damit), mas maganda ang linis sa damit. so factor ang rotation per minute.

having said that, papasok naman ang agitator. sya yung parang nagkukusot sa damit, totoo yun. pero hindi sya effective. bakit? kasi lalong nag ti-twist ang mga damit sa loob ng washer/tub kasi magkaiba nang rotation [textspeak!] bilog sa bottom ng tub at sa agitator.

ang hirap i-explain. hehe

kaya sis, kung papansinin mo, best lagi ang front load washers and dryers. front load washers do not have agitator in it. plain tub lang talaga.

sana ma explain nang mabuti nang SA. Pero nevertheless, enjoy your washing machine
