Whirlpool Bloom Wash 8013H 8 Kg Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine

Order and delivery: 5/5. I ordered the item on Friday (with exchange offer) and got the machine on Saturday morning.nnPacking and Handling: 5/5 : fresh piece with no visible dents or marks. I have kept the locking plate and bottom piece of thermocool packing if i need to transport it later.nnInstallation by whirlpool tech: 3/5: The machine weighed 43Kg and I was unable to drag it on my own. The tech and myself placed it in the desired area. The machine was not balanced and tech said its the problem with the floor. I had to force the tech to adjust the bush to keep the machine leveled. A tech MUST check if the machine is level or not. If not level, the machine will vibrate and rock like hell! When installing the water inlet, the tech said my tap is bent and i need to change the water inlet adapter. There is a leak. I packed him off and fixed the water inlet on my own. I placed some thread sealant on the adapter neck for reinforcementnnMachine control panel use: 4/5. The panel is on upper side of the lid. This will avoid wear and tear of the panel while loading or unloading clothes. The indicators are made of green LEDs and it can be a bit hard when there is bright sunlight. I had kept in my work area and there is lot of light. brighter LED's would have helped. Machine displays approx time to finish the wash.nnnMachine performance: 4.5/5. nWater level Sense technology (6th sense): is working well. It does not fill the tub to the full. I uses just enough water for the job. It will recommend the amount of detergent to be put in. Machine pumps the soap water from the bottom of the drum to to so that clothes are soaked uniformlynnWash programs: had used bedding, baby and daily: working well for out needsnnSoftener function: works well; i dont need to baby sit in front of the machine and pour softener.nnHeater function: works well. Heater will take more time to finish the wash cycle. heater will increase the electricity bills too.. so i use it only when needednncleaning efficiency: goodnnclothes entanglement: relatively low when compared to my previous Onida sparkle. It more gentle on clothes in general. In baby care mode, its even more gentle on clothes. My previous machine used to ravage our baby clothes!nndrying: Good. The machine vibrates a more than smaller machines. This is expected because of larger drum size. the machine must be kept on a HARD FLAT surface. It will be a good idea to use a spirit level (use spirit level app from google play!) and make sure the machine is upright.

I had a whirlpool W/M purchased 5 years ago. Have changed the circuit board few occasions after the warranty and spent lot of money. Somehow I got rid of the same and bought LG. go for LG. Cheap and best. Remember, W/M are mechanical and it can go out of order due to several reasons. My experience with LG is very good.
