Hi,
We're looking to buy a fully-automatic front-loader. Whirlpool and LG are the two brands we want to consider (Siemens we dont want to risk as their machines are fully imported - apart from their being not really a consumer appliance company, so their support department may not be very good).
We are looking at the Whirlpool SUD701, Sport, and the LG direct drive TROMM models. Budget is <30K, the lower the better, but only if we get the best machine!
A few questions -
1. Does Whirlpool have no direct-drive machines in India? Can any LG direct-drive users comment on how much more silent the machine really is compared to belt-drive machines?
2. If the SUD701 [which is highly rated here] is a fully imported model, then wont there be issues with the parts for this ? Any users who can tell us about their experience with service, parts, and their knowledge on this subject even if they didnt have to do a service yet?
3. The Sport model of whirlpool - does it compare at all to SUD701? Is it even worth looking at?
4. Overall, if any of you chose LG over Whirlpool while looking at the same machines - can you tell us why?
5. Any info on whirlpool support quality would also be appreciated. The pre-sales we have dealt with so far has been poor [clueless dealers not even quick to make a sale!]
Your expert opinion would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Syf
