I have no idea how much a washing machine should cost. Recently married and buying home's necessities one by one.
Take a look at the threads here - techenclave + washing machine - Google Search
I suppose a budget of ~20k could get you a decent front loader? IFB used to be very reliable before but many seem to have issues with their customer service and performance off-lately and this was reported in the threads recently. Bosch's consumer appliances have entered Indian markets this year. No clue on the pricing and customer service part though.

IFB is re badged bosch machine previously.
now its made at goa.
all siemens and bosch machines are made by SBSH which is 50 50 joint venture of siemens and bosch.
and its made in germany with absolutely no chipanda components.
so its highly advisable to buy siemens as its more widely distributed.
now how much to spend.
depends on your family size and future expansion.
if you have family of 4,you should be comfortable with 5.5 kg or if having bigger family then 6.5kg.
we have 6.5 kg machine for family of 3 and we have to use it once in 3-4 days.
lots of water saving and time saving.
hope this helps.

regarding siemens ,bosch .
its serviced by same company.
you can talk to your local branch and you can discuss with your local sbsh guys.
I discussed all things about my dishwasher with actual engineer of sbsh and then finalized my purchase.
I am highly impressed with their service and follow up.
you wont believe but i got call from their branch for installation address within half an hour of payment.
so i would buy siemens and bosch again in future.

^^ +1 to what he said! Bosch/Siemens = the best
The LG direct drive models are the best bet if your budget is ~<20k.

Front Load Full Auto WM will be the costliest and also have the most features. The cheapest ones start at around 16-18k. Bosch/Siemens will cost you upwards of 30k for the entry level models.
Top Load Full Auto WM have a range of 12k onward and you can get a decent Samsung/LG model within 15k.
If you have a higher budget, then there are a few Front Loading models which have close to 100% drying option as well.
I have an IFB Senator 6KG Front Load and am satisfied with it, but people here have had bad experiences with their customer service.

I went to the showroom today and had a look at a couple of LG and Samsung machines. The sales man was trying to sell me Samsung - he said that it has a ceramic pipe or something and diamond type sh*t. But it was obvious that he wanted to sell me Samsung than LG.
LG has 19.5K model with a 800 rpm max. A ~23K model with 1000 rpm dryer. Another one in 25k range with a display.
I guess the 800 rpm model should be enough for me and my wife. 5.5kg. Or is it worth going for the 1000 rpm model for better drying?
Not planning for IFB or Bosch.
