I bought this WD-85260NPfor Rs19500/-,First of all if you want a washing machine with similar features from IF B, you have to pay atleast Rs27000/-.
The great advantage of front loader is that the wash quality is better than top loading
It uses very less amount of detergent,if we use large quantity of soap wash quality may decrease,
like that dont use the low quality ones,in the low priced pwders,the problem is that the foam formation is large this can decrease the wash quality bcos the clothes can slip out of the projections in the rotating drum before reahing a height,as u all know the wash quality is increased by the rotor dropping the clothes from a height,another problem with the low quality powders is that the in order to remove the soapy feel from the clothes we may hav to use intensive rinse functions ,as these machines normally use very less water,normally 4-5 cups of water depending on the weight of clothes
Go for a front loader if
1.You need good quality wash.
2.Your region has water scarcity
3.You need heated washing.(cold regions)
4.Low washing powder consumption
The next great thing about this machine is the low noise,it is even quiet than our top loading,machine even in the spin mode,and this is a great plus.
Another important thing I have to point to you is that even if WD85290NP may sound higher in model no,and the price ,WD 85260NP is more advanced in technology than the 90NP bcos this machine was introduced in market after that, the only difference is that 90np has a jog dial,But it doesnt have a display as in the case of 60NP
WD 85260NP has many advanced features like Quick 30-washes clothes in 30 minutes(normal cycle of cotton at 95deg takes around 2hours),these features are only often seen in high end machines especially from IF B and all.
The maximum spin speed is 800 rpm
TEmperature canbe set from 0-95c.
The door is borosilicate (in IF B is made of fiber so it can cause scratch from button,etc and often the fiber doors are the culprit in leakage problems in many IFB machines)
The door can open 180 degrres again (IF B only 90 degrees in machines less than 25000/-)
AND above all the machine has FUZZY LOGIC controls,the machine automatically adjusts everything like quantity of water etc according to the weight of the clothes
The machine needs very less amount of detergent and water as in the case of any other front loader
and the wash quality is excellent.
There is no vibration at all.And there is no water leakage problems.
DELAY START option is also provided again which is only seen in high end machines.
WE can even see the temperature of the water used by pressing the temp button in the wash mode.
if you want to buy a machine first of go to the websites of all manufacturers like LG,SAMSUNG,IFB
the detailed description can be found there.Since the price of front loaders are high most of the normal shops dont stock them and they dont have any idea of their products,its better to go and buy from a company dealer showroom as they know what they are selling.
