Received my BPL Front Load washing maching yesterday. This review is based on initial first day of usage. nnDelivery : Ordered on Sunday 2nd October from Flipkart under Big Billion day offer and was supposed to receive the product on 3rd, however even though got sms that shipment is out for delivery, didnt get the product on 3rd October. On 4th called the number in sms and they said its on the way, got the product in few hours. Delivery person said that there is a lot of shipments due to big billion sale.nnInstallation : Flipkar booked installation on its own even before delivery was done, Thanks! Installation Person was regularly following up, told him will confirm once product is delivered. He came within few hours of delivery and did the installation and demo. Person was trained and knew his job well. Bought a stand and drum clean powder from him for Rs.950 and Rs.150 respectively.nnProduct : first impression and finish of the product is great. Controls are easy for first time/hurried users. Only issue is that you can not have your own manual program for washing and have to chose one of the eight prefixed in the machine, however that doesn't seem to a major concern for us wash programs suits regular users well. For all the wash programs except quick wash, machine inbuilt heater adjusts water temperature eg. For mix cloths 40degree, for cotton 90degree. Tried cotton cycle with some heavy bedsheets and was happy with washing result. Machine sound level is within reasonable range except at 1200rpm towards the end of wash cycle when it does vibrate/hisses a little more than expected. Overall happy with product so far,fingeres crossed :-)

I am coming from a bosch front load washing machine which costed me almost thrice 9 years ago. This month it took its last breath and so, I never through of repairing as it ws costing somewhere around 8K. I though of buying a new bosch one but came across this perticualar model which is costing almost half of what Bosch is asking, I though of give my luck a try, and Oh Boy!! what a try it was.nnIt may have some less programs but it'll never bother you. It has all the goodies that bosch has to offer, Like heating, 1200 rpm spin, Wait-sensing water input.. just name it and you have it. the only Con that I've seen so far is that it does'nt has any soak feature in any of the modes, I think they should have added that considering they have added all the high end goodies. nnI would suggest to go for this product as most of the electronics are mostly use-and throw sort of stuffs.
Within a 5 days the plug got burned.. and worst service from jeeves.
