We have an IFB at home. It does the intended duties well, just that it makes a lot of noise. Earlier we had one from Kelvinator, that one was pretty silent.
Sorry for bumping but I'm in search of a new washing machine. My Mom has been using LG for years and is pleased with it. Any other suggestions are appreciated though.
I had so many different washing machines and dryers and so far found Electrolux washing machines very good.
You can easily contact electrolux here https://electrolux.pissedconsumer.cоm/review.html and ask them all the questions you have in mind.
The prices are ok as well, especially comparing with some of the modern brands.
