I bought a Bosch fully automatic front loading 6.5 KG WM recently for 30K. Works great.

Not sure whether Bosch WM has a dryer of some type like Air dryer incase of LG/Samsung machine...dryer is must when I am purchasing as the humidity in Kolkata is the main opposing factor when we parch soaked cloths here.

All you have to do is Spin the clothes @ 1800 for couple of minutes and your clothes are semi-dried. That's what I do with my Samsung.

Go for brands like LG,Samsung which has wide spread service centers. Also consider Bosch they have great build (I own 8kg AVantixx series model) and performs slightly better than my LG.

Reliance digital is selling a Panasonic model , tumble wash model of 7kg for 25k....I wonder why they are giving it cheap...they claim it is a discount offer..

Dryer will use a lot of electricity, keep that in mind. Usually spin dry is effective if you can parch your cloths for 30mins in air. I'm using a LG.

That probably is a display piece. I checked with Reliance before buying Bosch and they had a 7KG Samsung for 28K which would have normally cost around 37K and they did say it was a display piece.

Anyone has a Electrolux washing machine...there is a 8kg model for 28k in snapdeal.

Reviving this thread, as I am looking to buy a fully automatic front loading washing machine.
I will be buying the same in Kuwait, with a budget of 25-35,000 INR. Electricity and water are a non issue here.
The main thing I am looking at is provision for shorter wash cycles and efficient cleaning.
Something like this

costs around the equivalent of INR 35k here.
I would like to go the Direct drive models which are quiter and seem to have a longer warranty of the motor.
We used to have IFB Bosch in India for over 15 years. It was very good. However the belt needed to replaced quite a few times in the last 7 years or so. Noise and vibration grew to alarming levels as the machine got old.
So I hope the newer direct drives would be better on that front.
Bosch, LG, Samsung, Indesit, Electrolux, fridgidaire seem to be available. I also so Hoover somewhere.
