New Washing machine guide

Hi guys,

I am looking to buy a new washing machine for our family of 4.

Have narrowed down on 7kg Front load rather than a TL due to better wash quality as per the reviews.

I an looking for guidance to choose between brands like Bosch LG Toshiba Samsung.

I am keen on buying Bosch WAJ24262IN since I get 3yrs standard warranty and I can extend 3 years more for 1700 INR as per Boschs diwali offer. So all in all getting this machine for 31690+ extended warranty so peace of mind for 6 yrs.

However I have read posts about other members mentioning Bosch to have sealed drums wherein we cannot replace only the bearings and the whole drum needs to be replaced. This was confirmed by their engineer as well. Can anyone guide me as to how often do these bearings fail? Apart from this how is the product quality of Bosch? Do they still have the sturdy machines we can rely on for 10-12 years?

There is also a newly launched Toshiba WM TW-BJ80S2-IND with 4 years of standard warranty costing me around 31k. This machine is made in Thailand in Toshiba's factory. I am yet to confirm certain part quality details with their product manager. Anyone from our forum uses or knows about these machines? I personally prefer Japanese brands and this seems to be a model exported to rest of the asian countries so quality should be better is what I suppose. Watch:


Another Samsung 7kg model WW70T4020CX/TL Vietnam made getting this one for around 31k with standard warranty of 3 years,

I request our learned members to help me figure out which brand/model to go for based on pros/cons. I have listed few deals available to me. Incase of any suggestions please let me know,
 
I did write about the sealed drum in Bosch. If you are getting 3 years warranty and also additional extended warranty of another 3 years for 1700 INR you can go for Bosch but make sure the warranty is covered for replacing/servicing drum and bearings if any fault occurs in future. I think I had this Bosch WM for more than 6 years when the bearing problem occurred and went ahead with buying a LG WM from Amazon after exchanging the Bosch WM. It has been more than a year since I bought the LG FL WM. To speak honestly the wash quality is best in Bosch WM and though LG is good but nothing compared to Bosch. Also if you have more than 2 members in your family buy a 8Kg model. You can also consider IFB but seems like their service is not as good as it used to be. I consider Bosch as best in quality of washing in FL WM.
 
I have used Bosch , LG , IFB in the past . When my IFB failed about 2 years back I bought a Midea on flipkart offer for around 15k . Easily the best of all the machines . In 3 years my AMC for IFB would have been 4500*3 = 13500 . I can renew every 3 years if the machine packs up after warranty .
