After being accustomed to Semi-Automatic Washing machine for years, our family really suffered from a kind of phobia towards thinking about a change to a Fully-Automatic Washing machine. Some how we kept on servicing our old Semi-Automatic washing machine for near to two years after using it for more than 8 years. The day has come and we decided to move on for a new washing machine and short listed many semi-automatic washing machine and fully automatic washing machines.
The decision was made later to go on for a Fully-Automatic washing machine. We shortlisted, IFB, LG, Samsung & Videocon. From this again we drilled down with few factors like Price and Prior Users Verdict. Now LG & Samsung was left out with us. After much consideration on pricing and the technological facilites we went in for Samsung.We didn't have any issues with Samsung as well as LG Service, as we have one Samsung A/C & one LG A/c @ our home and we were quiet sure about their service.
Demo from the company; like for years it has not improved. Almost this might have been faced by many of MS users and other consumers. After Buying a product, installation and demo will be either done by themselves or by paying a nearby technological guy. Demo guys come after couple of days.The washing machine's body could have been made more sturdy. Drawing water from pump is determined by a Fuzzy logic built in to the Washing machine and we don't have any control over that if it's been kept in Fuzzy Logic Mode. For a desecent amount of cloth the minimum washing time is near to 1 Hour. In this 1 Hour it fills the tub twice: Wash, Rinse.The collar and corner dirts are removed to satisfaction, however, we cannot grade that as excellent. Overall it pulls out the dirt properly. And dries the cloth well too.
*AG+
There is a mode called "Silver Wash", wherein Odour & Germs removal is done. This is quite a revolution in washing mahine, but still I haven't tested the germs level in the cloth after using this. Of course it removes the odour very well. What the company claims for AG+ is:
STAGE 1 - Electrolysis and formation of silver ions
STAGE 2 - Permeation of silver ions into fabric during wash and rinse cycles
STAGE 3- 99.9999% reduction of bacteria in fabric and protection from bacteria growth for up to one month.
*Air Turbo
This facility is really good, it gives you the cloth with **almost dried condition, just Iron the cloth and wear it. Very useful for rainy seasons. But, the time taken is bit high to do this. There is a Child Lock facility too, but I have never used this. At the end of the washing process, we will be intimated by a music by the washing machine. It's more than 5 months, I haven't faced any problems. Overall I am very much satisfied with the Washing Machine.
