Nice one. Remember to buy washing powder too. Persil Colour is very good.

Thanks bro, we have always used Ariel for hand wash and many people here say its good for the washer. I have however heard some mention persil powder. Anything specific about using it with a washer?

Persil is the best washing machine detergent but it is very expensive and mostly used by professional laundries. That's one of the reasons their cost of drycleaning is v.expensive as the cost of the persil powder is passed on to the customer.

Also, front loaders have this very sensitive rubber that frames the inlet. Regular detergents weaken & cut the rubber & thats why persil is recommended for their use but top loaders don't have this rubber so the regular detergent can be used. My aunt got a Kelvinator top loader recently and the technician advised her to use OM0 detergent for coloured clothes and Zip detergent for whites. . .but generally you can use any detergent for top loaders.

Yea it works really fine. At first i had to follow blank's advice about a plastic (safety cover) i have to fix when spinning. It works well and if u have a water source connected, it goes with more ease than having to pour in water using buckets. The clothes come out clean and spinning makes them almost dry. I tried it with my 2.5kva gen and it worked fine. I like it and my wife is really happy with that cuz she either multitasks with other chores or watches tv while d toploader does the job.

Thanks everyone for the comments.my husband wants to get me one and i've been doing a lot of research on different types. my sis-in-law has the LG front loader and it work very well and as for using persil detergent, it uses just a small amount per load like the size of the small but the problem i had with it was the fact that it doesn't have a separate spin button. i think this is important because some cloths should not be dryed at all(it shrinks them). i heard the twin tub has a separate spin button but all the article i have read so far say it tears cloths. pls can anyone confirm this.

Hello folks, @sd6 how has it been over the years with your washing machine. Have you changed it?

I'm curious. Someone wants to dash me a front loader. I'm thinking of I can use a jerrycan to put water in it, with the jerrycan on top of the machine. Please advise.

You guys are great, am taking delivery of the washer tomorrow. My wife has already heaped the dirty clothes. I paid 33k for it. Hope I have the same experience(worked well) you all had.

To get satisfaction,let her try to soak the clothes like normal handwashing but this time in the machine.the button should be at wash not drain while at it.
Have used mine for 2yrs and really helps in tbe rainy season.

Okay maybe so ridiculous abi?

Actually I wanted to know if when the water pressure is not so high, will the machine not work?

Maybe an automatic top loader may bearah better.

Ladysarah, do you use one? Front or top loader? How's your experience.

I use toploader but used to own frontloader,the procedure is tiring.the machine wont work with low pressure nah unless you want it to drywash your clorhes.it will then breakdown and there are no tecgnicians and spareparts for it in Naija.
save money and get toploader,you can even use i pass my neighbour gen to run it.

Thanks.. I may not go for the automatic top loader then.. Maybe the semi automatic top loader like the one bought by Sd6

Please what soap do you use. Anyone?
Re: I Want To Buy This Washing Machine For My Wife by ImaIma1(f): 8:14am On Nov 12, 2017
Exactly the type of mine. Easy to use. You wash and rinse on same side and spin on the other side. It is a good buy

The machine still works very well. But I have observed that water tends to leak as you wash. However this is due to prolonged and not quality. The product is durable.
Front loaders are for areas where you have constant water supply as you cannot pure water into it with a keg. imagine opening a refrigerator to pour water in.
so if you don't have constant water supply, best bet is to get a top loader.
