[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 2505229, member: 10952"] This machine seems hand made like they were over thirty years ago. I thought there would be more automation like we saw in that LG factory in the US. Then again sales volume for these machines is much lower, they are for commercial use, built like tanks and cost 10x more. No plastic anywhere, all metal. Stainless steel instead of aluminium alloy, solid 5 prong (not 3 as we find in domestic) spider. Able to do ten washes a day for the next ten years, easy, with minimal maintenance. That's where the value is. Something strange I've learnt about Japan and washing machines. It's impossible to get front loaders that cost less than a lakh. I was looking on amazon Japan and no sign anywhere of the affordable LG's we take for granted. Some protectionist racket going on to keep people buying Japanese. [URL unfurl="true"]https://myjapanslice.com/2017/06/20/the-shocking-truth-about-the-japanese-washing-machine/[/URL] So this means a lot of Japanese have to make do with top loaders or even semi automatics. This coin operated machine is the closest the Japanese aam admi gets to a front loader that can wash in warm water. But it's more expensive than having your own machine. 1,300¥ = Rs. 750 for wash and dry of 10kg of dry clothes. Detergent included. That is quite pricey. I was used to paying like a dollar or so for a wash and another to dry. [/QUOTE]
