Best Front Loading Washing Machines

Purchased in 2020, had it for about 7 years now. It's an okay machine and washes very well. I had a few problems with it that I think Bosch could… Read more

improve.

1. the play/pause button generally doesn't work in humid weather or if your hands are wet. I feel like tactile push buttons would be better rather than a touch sensor. 2. Cockaroches... the control modual stay warm all the time even when not running and both me and my mate had a couple of cocaroches living in the control module. Basically the machine started tripping out as the cockaroches wee and poo on the electornics. I had to pull out the control module and clean it to get the machine working again. I feel like if the electronics are so sensitive to mositure the module should be protected with epoxy or something so it lasts longer and is more reliable.

I would encourage Bosch to consider epoxy protection to the electronics and also some tactile switching for reliability in wet laundaries and humid environments. i probably wouldn't buy a washer with the same control layout and look for one with tactile switching.

Very disappointing. I've owned a Fisher & Paykel top loader previously and had no issues, so this time I purchased a front loader. Within the first… Read more

month, I had a problem with the sensor board. The machine showed 8 minutes remaining for the cycle to finish for almost 10 minutes.  I had someone look at it as it was under warranty and was told there is nothing wrong with the machine, so I've just dealt with it.

Now, just three years later,  when the machine is in the spin cycle it moves significantly and starts to swivel.  You have to see it to believe it.  As it's out of warranty I would need to pay someone to look at it - not worth it.

For a washing machine that is only three years old, I don't believe these issues should be occurring. I am very disappointed and from this I would not be purchasing another F&P in the future nor would I recommend.

Working fine. After cpl of years doesnt always start when door gets closed. The biggest issue is rust all over eventhogh no open water in these places. Previous waching machines were not getting rusty.

Haier would have to pay me to buy any of their products and even then I would spend it on another brand!!! – Haier products are pure rubbish everything I have brought with this brand name has broken within weeks of purchase I won’t ever buy Haier again. Customer service is also rubbish Show details

Best decision I have ever made! My mom has had her speed queen for over 40 years! Excited that this will be the last washing machine I EVER Buy! Show details

AquaStop . MAde in Spain but still super high quality and very impressed by washing, time cycles using SpeedPerfect, sound and vibration! BOSCH IS ALWAYS BETTER

We have always bought fisher and paykel appliances and been generally happy with them. Not the most expensive, but definitely not cheap, and most… Read more

have lasted 8 - 10 years. Not anymore, quality has gone down the drain LITERALLY ! The dryer failed first and was repaired twice and finally replaced under warranty. The washer is only 6 years old, in a 2 person household and drum bearing has failed. While some washing machines can be repaired economically, it’s not the case with F&P anymore, the cost of parts alone makes it uneconomical and it’s only getting worse across the industry. Never again.

Good for the price! It does its job, and I got it with a huge discount..

Appalling service purchased a washing machine that failed after 18 months with a 2 year warranty. book a service only to have it cancelled the… Read more

morning of and postponed for an additional week. When contacting the service centre you get a generic AI apology that is patronizing and not authentic. They don’t care about after service just selling poor quality that doesn’t last 2 years

I've had this washing machine for nearly four years and has done a great job. Recently it had a minor problem which was reported to Beko. They… Read more

promptly sent a repair agent out and fixed the problem under warranty. Excellent customer service. Thank you.

I have only ever owned LG washing machines and previously loved them, this is my 3rd LG and I am definitely not happy with it. Despite it being an… Read more

8kg load machine whereas my previous machine was 7/7.5kg I have to place less washing in each load. It intermittently cannot complete the spin cycle, no error is shown and the machine just continues to attempt the spin cycle for hours if not stopped and the machine reloaded. On raising my error/problem with LG, through the dealer I purchased it from, they took a week to contact me and their service consultant was less than helpful and my contact with them was horrible. Definitely never going to buy an LG ever again after more than 20 years of loving their products.

Washing machine broke down after 13 months and had to wait for a while to get a replacement. Please strongly reconsider if you are thinking of buying a product from AEG Show details

Rust/corrosion not covered under 5 year warranty – Purchased this 8kg Front Load Washing Machine through Costco coming up to 4 years ago. After taking the front panel off to clear the pump noticed… Read more

the bottom of the machine had started to corrode under the panel. I emailed whirlpool with my concerns of the corrosion and was asked to send photos of the damaged. Then another email requesting full photos of the machine. Third email was a reply that the rust is not covered in the 5 year warranty. This is the response received by whirlpool. “The rust in the unit is usually not covered under the warranty. It occurs due to surrounding moisture and in order to remove the issue of rust, Maintenance and cleanliness of unit is must. Since rust are external issue not a manufacturing defect, we are unable to assist you at the stage. Please keep unit safe and clean in order to avoid further rusting of the unit.” It’s a washing machine that has water going through it at least 4 times a week. And the rust was covered by the front panel. The area has never been under water

inside door.Didnt seem to line up very well from day one Should have been picked up pre manufacture. You learn not to expect much these days.Bought this through appliances online. Incredibly disappointed as I thought Bosch was a good brand.

Its been a month since my washing machine broke done,I have been following up ands been very stressful, no one ever call back.If I had to chose again… Read more

I would choose where customers matter....the slowest customers service i have ever have to deal with.

Front vs Top loader. My old top loader Hoover finally died after 36 years.. no long under warranty :). Thought I would try a front loader and am… Read more

pleasantly surprised. It does the job well, my only complaint is that 8kg front loader does not equate to my 7kg Top loader. I think I should have bought the 10kg version front loader to get near the same capacity as a 7kg top loader. Only had this thing for a couple of days, but happy with the purchase so far. Easy menu to navigate, machine is fairly quiet. Standard wash cycles are a little longer, but short ones are available. I would recommend

Miele resolved the issue very quickly, and its service was excellent. Miele truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end brand that customers can trust. Show details

Machine broke just outside warranty but was repaired by Electrolux – Purchased from Harvey Norman in June 2021. Did the job for 2 years 8 months then died (outside of the 2 year warranty) - E91 error. I was quoted $400… Read more

to $500 to repair by a local technician. I left a review here and was then contacted directly by Electrolux who sent a serviceman and repaired the machine at their cost. Thank you very much Electrolux. The machine has worked fine since.

Absolute piece of crap - no stars – Yep, cheapest at the time I bought. Washed well for maybe 6 months. Total carnage since then. Only 2 possible options to wash now and have to take… Read more

everything out soaking wet because it will not drain and spin. Will never, ever buy this cheap crap again. No warrantly either. Just crap. Buyer beware. Not worth the price.

A wonderful front loader with adjustable timer if you are in a hurry or if your clothes need extra cleaning. Quiet and economical. Great value. Show details

We have had this washing machine for 2 years, started having issues with mold on the seal and brown paste appearing on clothes after wash, i… Read more

complained to LG and the response i received that it was not a warranty fault but user error, even though we regularly ran the drum cycle (more than recommended), the photos are of the seal that i replaced, the brown paste (scrud, LG called it) , is impossible to clean, as it is behind the seal, which you don't have access to, so cannot clean. Even replacing the seal wash a mission (i am quite handy), you have to nearly dismantle the whole machine, i have never had this issue with any other washing machine design, and would definitely not recommend to buy an LG machine, and the support was not helpful and basically said it was not covered under warranty even though we used it as recommended.

It's ok however on the 45 minute cycle it doesn't really wash the clothes properly. The 15 minute cycle is fine for just 1 or 2 things. If you want… Read more

a decent wash, it will take at least 90 mins. Other than that, a good washing machine and pretty good value for money.

I regret buying this machine. I purchased less than a month ago and there is an issue with the drainage. It's taking up to a week for a technician to… Read more

come and look at it under the warranty. So in the meantime I have to spend money at the laundromat to do the washing. I wouldn't recommend as it's a poor quality machine and it would have been better to purchase a more expensive brand.

This brand used to be great in the past, but now it feels outdated and stuck in the past—like it hasn’t evolved beyond the 19th century. The… Read more

so-called '6th sense' technology is completely useless and makes no sense. The washing cycle takes forever to finish, whereas my old machine completed the same load in just 45 minutes with better results. I don’t understand how this brand is still in business—it should have shut down long ago. I would strongly advise everyone to avoid it."*

We had a warranty issue on a 9 month old d washing machine and Beko made every excuse under the sun not to fix it, After 5 calls (which they don't… Read more

reply to), they decided it was user's fault, a crack in the drum from a coin in the wash, I stated that surely the machines should cope with a coin as this is a unintentional but common thing, they told me the get 12-15 similar faults every couple of months but still wouldn't admit it a fault in machine, I have had many machines before and never had this issue, they said machines today are not has strong as they used to be, the 5 year warrenty they offer is not worth much, I will never buy their products again

This washing machine is incredibly quiet when in use. The colour is beautiful & the cycles are easy to use. A feature that comes in handy is the… Read more

laundry liquid/powder dispense drawer, there is an option to fill one of the compartments for multiple washes ie no need to fill the drawer for every load. Everything is cleaned & spun really well.

This is my first time having a front loader so I can’t compare it to other front loaders. However, ever since having this washing machine my clothes… Read more

wear out so much faster they look old, it has damaged my blankets and throws. To me it is very rough and I am only using the delicate cycle now. It says it’s water efficient but at the cost of not properly washing the soap and softener out (not sure if all front loaders have the same problem). I always do an extra rinse cycle on every load to try and prevent this.

Other than those issues it’s not bad but I miss a top loader as it wasn’t damaging my clothes as much and it’s quicker.

Dissapointed with this product & brand which is marketed as having remarkable longevity & "built to last". 6 years of domestic use and the internal… Read more

drum has failed. Repair cost exceeds the value of a replacement machine. The matching drier purchased at the same time also failed after 3 years. Dont waste your time and money and buy another brand. I had a Westinghouse front loader which I bought second hand in 2012 before renovating and buying the new ASKO machines in 2020. The Westinghouse was gifted to another family member and is still going.

Buyer be aware Fisher & Paykel they do not stand by the warranty for a brand new machine barely used (3 times) and will try shift blame to you to… Read more

avoid claims!

Brand-new washing machine after only three washes, it began leaking from the front door due to a faulty rubber seal. No errors. No misuse. I have two witnesses. Fisher & Paykel refusing to honour the warranty, instead are trting to shift the blame onto me creating hypothetical scenarios with no legal basis or supporting evidence.. The repair is not costly, but they'd rather liability avoidance rather than standing behind their product!. Also their AI-generated response is appalling!! They should invest in their product instead!

A near-new appliance failing after three uses is not acceptable!. Consumers deserve better! Disgusting treatment! This is unacceptable. If i could rate zero I would.

Dead after 4 years - motor failure. reached out to TEKA with no response. generally worked fine until then Show details
