SAVEFIVEINJULY

Our wash machine died this weekend, so we were after a cheap washing machine to see us out for 6 months. This was the best deal I could find on a machine larger than about 5kg.

7.5kg Front Load Samsung Washing Machine WF8750LSW1 from appliances online, free delivery and installed to most capital cities (with old machine taken away… though we're selling our old broken machine on ebay for a few extra dollars!).
Price on appliance online is $527, but discount code SAVEFIVEINJULY brings it down to $500.65. Then get $75 cashback from Samsung (in form of citibank cash card… so take it to any ATM and get your cash out).

Cashback claim from Samsung:
http://www.samsung.com.au/promotions/home-appliances/fridge-…

I found mostly positive reviews for this machine. That said, the negative reviews don't usually start coming in for a couple of years after the product is released because that's when things start to fail. The machine comes with 2 year manufacturers warranty.

EDIT: So it looks like we've alerted appliancesonline that they need to turn the page on the calendar… the coupon code is no longer valid.
Cashback from Samsung still applies, but I've marked this as expired.

    can anyone comment on front loaders and top loaders? need a new washing machine but not sure if this is a good one…

    • nickj on 06/08/2012 - 10:21
      +1

      Front loaders seems to be nicer on clothes, as they cause less stretching of the clothing. Replaced a top loader with a a front loader a few years ago, and wouldn't go back. The only 2 downsides are (as the linked article says) - you can't add things once the wash has started (ours literally force-locks the door and won't unlock it until about 30 second after the wash has finished), and ours uses more power when it's off (30 watts - which is crazy - so we turn it off at the wall plug - and I imagine that current ones will have fixed this, because it's silly a design flaw).

      • Cluster on 06/08/2012 - 10:29

        The WF0754W7V1 uses only 0.3w on standby (measured with Steplight meter). 30w is massive.

        • PinzVidz on 06/08/2012 - 11:13
          +2

          Regardless of either situation, turn it off at the GPO when not in use.

        • Cluster on 06/08/2012 - 11:30
          +1

          0.3w consumption = 1kwh every 138 days. Less than a dollar per year. I just leave it on. 5kw of solar panels on the roof helps offset the monetary and environmental cost.

        • Steptoe on 06/08/2012 - 16:08

          So by your calcs, 30W = <$100/yr. I'd be flicking a switch personaly for a 30W phantom load.

        • Cluster on 06/08/2012 - 21:51

          For 30w yes, I would flick it a few hundred times a year. For 0.3w, no.

        • nickj on 07/08/2012 - 10:01

          I agree completely. For 30 watts we do flick because it's worth it, but for 0.3w it's just not worth the effort. The annoying bit is the only way to really know how much everything in the home uses is to manually measure everything. We found the worst standby-mode offenders were the front load washer (a circa 2008 LG, at ~30 Watts standby), and the Xbox series 1 (that was around ~22 Watts standby, from memory). We made sure to turn both off at the plug thereafter, but stopped worrying so much about things like phone chargers (that typically use fractions of a Watt).

        If there isn't too much water in the drum, we can actually pause our Bosch front loader and add extra items in.

      • CH on 06/08/2012 - 11:51

        Yes, they are not as rough on your clothes as they don't have the big agitator, and rely more on the tumbling action, however this takes much longer and a normal wash takes 110 minutes in my F&P 8kg.

      • hewell on 06/08/2012 - 15:16

        We can add things after it started.
        Just need to wait a minute after I pressed pause.
        The door won't become unlocked straight away.
        It's all in the manual (the little booklet no body reads) :D

    • ShortyX on 06/08/2012 - 10:42

      @paulevan - In our experience, we replaced our top loader with a Bosch front loader and we'll never back to a top loader.

    • StewBalls on 06/08/2012 - 11:00

      Ask around a lot, you'll find that opinion is quite divided. I've tried a few & I wouldn't have a front loader til the tech is a lot better developed.

      Some of the guys have already noted some of the caveats with FL, and some of the top loader issues can be easily nullified by using some simple forethought & common sense when it comes to washing practices! ;)

      Much of the front loader 'advantage' is mostly hype IME, having to wash some soiled items twice for instance negates any perceived 'improvements' in efficiency IMHO.

      That said, this is a good price for this unit if you're after a FL.

  • slow on 06/08/2012 - 10:04

    I have had one of these for around 6 months and been very happy with it. Thing I like the best is that it is very quiet compared to the Asko machine it replaced

  • Cluster on 06/08/2012 - 10:14

    I have a WF0754W7V1 from AO and so far am very happy with it. Quiet, efficient, and it was Choice's top ranked model in the last washing machine comparison. It even beat the Miele costing over twice the price (by only 1%, but still impressive).

      From the receipt there it looks like the price in the meantime has risen to cancel out the cashback.

      @Cluster any major annoyances with this machine? In the market for a FL washing machine. Water use isn't that big a deal, as I plan to try and recycle the water, but power usage is. I want to run it at night if I can on offpeak power, but the washing machine I have now is way too noisy for that.

      Whats your experience with noise for this model?

      • Cluster on 06/08/2012 - 21:54
        +1

        1400rpm spin is noisy, depending on the load. The sides of the machine vibrate and it does knock a fair bit, but the machine doesn't walk. Normal washing/rinsing is very quiet. If I close both the laundry and bedroom door it's hard to hear the machine, but then again I haven't run it at night when everything is dead quiet. I have lots of solar power available and no off peak power.

        I measured 1 kwh of electricity usage on the 2:15 eco bubble wash, 30c. Around 1.3kwh with a 60c wash.

  • plmko on 06/08/2012 - 10:40

    I'd rather get a top loader with an agitator in it, protects your fabric better. The electricity and water savings you get with a front loader are very marginal, probably only $20-30 a year. Not to mention no kneeling down to pick up the laundry.

    Still a excellent price, front loaders are more expensive than equivalent top loaders.

    • ShortyX on 06/08/2012 - 10:44

      We've found the agitator actually stretches and knots up the clothes. Friends of ours just bought a new Simpson top loader and they hate it.

      • StewBalls on 06/08/2012 - 11:11

        It's funny, we've all had top-loaders for donkey's ages with no issue; but now suddenly front-loaders are being pushed on people with gusto the humble agitator is now public enemy number one??? Bizarre! ;)

        • ShortyX on 06/08/2012 - 11:25

          Hahaha, it's true. We were going to buy a top loader initially but thought we'd give the front loader a go.

          We did have reservations about the cycle time on front loaders but with the biggest load on ours, the cycle takes 1.5 hours. Initially we found an 'eco' mode which set the cycle time as 4 hours…we never use that one! :)

        • mrfluffy on 06/08/2012 - 12:27

          Our new 6.5kg Samsung top loader does not have an agitator and compared to our old 5.5kg Hoover
          it seems like a bottomless pit when loading gear in. I wasn't expecting to be but i could not be more impressed with it. Got it on sale at The Good Guys for $424. : )

        • MattyD on 06/08/2012 - 12:51

          Yep we have the same mrfluffy - with the see through panel I'm surprised how entertaining it is to watch :)

          Must say: the power of the water-jet agitation is impressive. Really cleans our clothes, these Samsung top-loaders use less water anyway and love the little tune when it's finished.

          Loving Samsung this last few years: 3D smart TV, BR, HDD and now our washing machine.

      • plmko on 06/08/2012 - 12:30

        Everyone has different experiences, but it's when you don't have an agitator that clothes end up in knots, this is because without one the machine relies on clothes rubbing against clothes to get things clean, where as an agitator is designed to separate clothes so they can be scrubbed by the agitator.. And it's exactly why you'll find that machines that have agitators will be advertised as being gentle on delicate fabrics versus ones without it being advertised as being efficient.

        But of course if the machine is crap, nothings going to help you there.

        I bought a Fisher & Paykle 8kg Top loader with agitator, for $750. It's so gentle that I just throw in my business shirts in even though the labels say hand wash only, it's been 6 months and no problems with my clothes.

      • cash8 on 06/08/2012 - 16:14

        I bought a Simpson Top Loader becoz of its capacity - 10KG. Love it big!!! I had an LG front loader before but the water saving feature seemed to be TOO WATER SAVING. I was always worried my clothes weren't rinsed properly. Now I can have a full load of water.

    • Cluster on 06/08/2012 - 10:47

      Front loader = kneel down. Top loader = bend over to get clothes at the bottom. Both are not ideal, but the front loader can be raised if you wish.

      • StewBalls on 06/08/2012 - 11:13

        Not being facetious, but how would you go about raising it?

        Many of the front loaders that I've seen have a tendency to walk, so I'd be worried about it falling off some sort of pedestal?

        • Cluster on 06/08/2012 - 11:26

          My Samsung washer comes with optional feet about 15cm high, but it's also possible to buy purpose built cupboards and pedestals (search online) for raising washing machines. It's not unusual to see raised front loaders in European homes.

        • outlander on 06/08/2012 - 12:09

          Metal brackets, if you have a double brick home. The oscillating motion might cause damage to the bricks long term, but I have no doubt that there is a special fixing or vibration dampening solution to that.

        • froodo on 06/08/2012 - 12:13

          We have a "Amazon" one, like this:http://bit.ly/TaqkmE and yes when you get the machine off the ground the vibrations are accentuated and the machine does tend to want to go for a walk. I have rubber mats under it and that helps a bit.

        • Juice08 on 06/08/2012 - 12:29

          washer that my cousin has in the US has built in cupboard bases. takes up heaps of space but better on your back. I stack a dryer on top of the washer so can't really raise it.

    I bought this a few months back. Pretty good and quiet. I went from a top loader to a front loader. Won't look back as well.

    NOTE!!!!!: This machine does NOT have a hot water input/inlet. It only has a cold water inlet/input and uses electricity to heat up the cold water. If you have a gas water heater then that may be cheaper overall.

    • ketanchoksi on 06/08/2012 - 11:20

      how does it work with gas water heater…pls explain

      • Crowmanz on 06/08/2012 - 11:38

        It doesn't. There is only a cold water inlet. The unit heats its own water to the required temp.

    • outlander on 06/08/2012 - 12:13

      They use cheaper parts on the water inlet, so that if you do hook it up to hot water you risk melting the plastic parts. Its a bit of a gamble, but I think if you found the right tempering valve, you could have the water come in at luke warm. Tempering valves mechanically mix hot and cold water to produce some preset value. Only ones I've seen produce 50c water, which may be too hot, but if you could find one that produced say 30c I think you would be okay.

      • ShortyX on 06/08/2012 - 14:12

        Never thought of this…going to have a look around. Thanks!

    • zeomega on 06/08/2012 - 14:50

      EDIT If you have a gas water heater then that may be cheaper overall to buy a machine with the traditional hot and cold water input.

  • hoondaboy on 06/08/2012 - 11:11

    I bought this exact same washer from Good Guys about 3 months ago (not as cheap as this, but a good package deal).
    The machine has been fantastic, is whisper quiet (we often forget that it's on unless we're standing infront of it), washes very well, and comes with a manufacturer warranty on the motor for 10 years. Obviously all the other comments re: standby power, energy/water rating, etc is all valid and was most of the reason why we went with this one.
    Summary - great price for a great machine.

    • StewBalls on 07/08/2012 - 13:11

      That would be my suspicion as well…on-demand electric water heating always equals costly IME!

  • check on 06/08/2012 - 11:19

    I have had the 10kg Samsung for a couple of months. So far good, no problems. However, the things I miss over my old machine are:

    A 30 minute cycle. The choices on Samsung are about 60 minutes or 15 minutes. The 15 minute cycle is too short, 60 minutes is too long!
    A hot water inlet. It only has a cold water inlet, so it has to heat up the water. A hot water inlet is better if your hot water is cheaper (gas) that electricity.

    • LuvXIX on 06/08/2012 - 12:42

      Bought this exact machine a little over a month ago and it's doing quite well. Was $490 delivered from Aus-appliance but just checked and not available anymore. Could have been cheaper with cash back. Can confirm it has only cold water inlet. Bu it's has quick daily wash mode which is 30mins. Just a soft correction from the above comment.

      It also has a Play/Pause button which supposedly allow you to pause the washing cycle to add more load within 5mins mins of starting the cycle. But haven't tried the option though the manual says its a feature of this washer.

      Good machine indeed.

      You can find this machine for a similar price, but stock is restricted. GG's have it for about $500 at the moment, but they charge $50 delivery. GG's Hoppers Crossing apparently have some in stock, so could collect or negotiate local delivery if you're near them… worth checking GG's online for your local store.

      There's some online stores around Sydney doing it for about $500 also where I think you can get free delivery. Google it and see what comes up… the price comparison websites will show you.

          How does the machine regulate the temperature of the water? What's your water heater temperature set to? Sure you can pipe in 70 degree water and let your machine wash the load but when it comes down to the rinse cycle… do you want your washing machine to be rinsing your clothes with hot water?

          Leave it on the cold water tap.. it's better in the long run or just buy one that accepts both.

    • outlander on 06/08/2012 - 15:14

    I picked up one of these a month ago and can also confirm they're a great unit. Disappointed I missed out on the cashback though :(

    My wash machine died 2 weeks ago.. Just bought a $9XX new one last week :(

    Spec states height is 844mm. Can anyone who has this machine measure the height if the leveling feet are removed? (In advance I understand the importance of clearances and leveling the machine)

      my machine arrived 2 minutes ago. I can confirm with my trusty tape measure that this is the correct height!

    I got the bigger 8.5kg version that is a bit fancier (but should have got something like this). First one had to be replaced immediately because the rinse (with water pumped in from the upper front) was too noisy. Seems ok. Pros - excellent quality wash particularly if you turn on all extras. 1400 leaves them very dry, don't need much time on the line to dry. Low water use. Cons - doesn't rinse out detergent very well, clothes a bit stiff from it still. Normal wash takes 2 hours. High power use.

    Received washing machine yesterday but there is no carton package?

    • braddsey on 19/08/2012 - 15:36

      Appliances online take the packaging away.

    I ordered one of these washing machines on Monday from Appliances Online. Yesterday it was delivered and my broken one was taken away. I am most impressed with the service I have received from Appliances Online. I have registered for the cash back from Samsung. Let's see how long they take to get back to me ….

    Found a stash of these at the Masters branch at North Lakes QLD. So if anyone on the north side of Brisbane is chasing one, there was 4 left at lunch time today. Marked price of $495.00. After cash back $420!!! Absolute steal!

    I'm over the moon with this deal as my 9yo 7.5Kg front loader died about a month ago and I was torn between repairing it, or purchasing a new machine. This deal made it a no-brainer. Thanks OP.

    Can anyone with the Samsung 7.5 answer a quick question for me? got one from Masters but had to take it from display. Did your one come with a thing to use liquid detergent in the main wash part of the tray?

    It looks to have a slot you can slide a divider into but i didnt get a divider with it. Without a divider you can only use powder for the main wash. Pretty odd given the instructions say for some cycles to use liquid.

    Thanks,
    Neil.
