New washing machine
Aug 11^th, 2022 at 4:21pm

Bought a LG washing machine, 8kg, $700.
It has a 10 year warranty on the motor ! Is an Inverter Direct Drive motor.
Is quieter, heavier, more stable and smoother than the old one.

The old one was still going ok, had a strange intermittent fault, was 8 years old so uneconomic to spend anything on it.
I heard all white goods are going up in price so thought to buy one now.

Really - please try a radio noise test for me? Place an AM radio on a weak station next to the washing machine when it's running. Then try the radio 4 meters away. Tell if that motor creates a lot of AM radio noise?

Remember the days of KB beer and guys will be sitting around in their King Gee shorts and navy blue wife-basher singlets smoking on rollies listening to AM with either the horse racing on or the talk-back jocks having a whinge.

Mellie Washing Machines are the best.
They have a steel, rather than cement block - which eventually crumbles.
I'm so glad I no longer have to move a Malley's fridge anymore.

Yes i remember those days but it was more like a Fosters, a Kelvinator fridge and a Simpson washing machine, i have had my latest Simpsons washing machine for yonks now and still runs like new, same with my Westinghoue fridge, they are trusted brands.

My latest washing machine is a Bosch 10 kg front loader and it's a dream come true. There's still something about German technology which Asian brands can't match.

And yeah I started a topic about needing a new machine right here on OzPol too. THAT topic yielded a lot of vital information based on people's experience with various brands which helped me make an informed decision. Thanks OzPoliticians 👌
