Bought a 7.5 kg LG washing machine at Courts Suntec closing down sale... it is a display set so got a $100 discount...
pros:
1. this is a DC Inverter w/m, so it can automatically adjust its power consumption rate depending on the washing load... max electricity consumption rate is 1.33 kW...
2. of cos, it can also automatically adjust its water consumption... the max water consumption per full load (7.5 kg) is about 70 litres. the current top load w/m i'm using now uses a whopping 120 litres for a full load of only 4.5 kg!!!
3. max spin speed of 1200 rpm, that means clothes come out of the w/m with less moisture and hence could dry faster...
4. large capacity of 7.5 kg, so probably can do laundry once a week, instead of twice a week... that means more time to sleep!
cons:
1. overbudget but still bearable...
2. extended warranty for 3 more years cost a whopping $200! not sure yet whether to take up the EW... but i need not decide until the w/m is delivered to me, so can just sit on it for the moment and decide later...

The dryer is the citigas clothes dryer...
yupz, i blogged before that i preferred F&P AD50 dryer to citigas dryer, but i changed my mind after i bought the huge w/m.
with a bigger w/m, i need a bigger dryer, and comparing 6 kg dryers, this citigas dryer is about the same price as electric dryers, but with advantages of faster drying, lower utility bill and softer clothes upon drying.
bought it at promotion price of $599 + 7% gst at the citigas roadshow at vivocity last sunday... usual price is $630 + gst... actually, i just placed a non-obligation reservation... i can cancel it anytime without penalty... seems like a good deal to lock in the price, and if the price drops, i can cancel it and buy at the lower price...
