Front loader washing machines, Bosch or Simpson both made in Taiwan?
Question:After quite a research, I found out that most washing machine brands available in Australia are not from there original country except for few made in Australia itself or New Zealand and quite expensive European brands. I’m looking for a front loader and my budget only allows washing machines available in these 2 brands which are made in Taiwan. Any thoughts would be appreciated to make my final decision. Thanks.
Answers:
I have the Bosch and am finding it a good choice.
The parts are easy to get and most repair shops can work on them.
I have a Bosch washer and dishwasher and I am very happy with both. They were a little more money that I wanted to spend but it was all worth it. They are work very well and the parts and company are very easy to get a hold of.
Hope this helped
I had a Maytag Neptune front-loading washer and dryer. After 3 months, we had problems with the clothes smelling like mildew. It was still under warranty, so we had it fixed. 6 months later, the problem came back. They fixed it again. A year later, just after the warranty expired, they recalled the part that had to be replaced. There was a class action lawsuit and we collected $200. Not nearly enough to replace what we paid for the darn thing, and now I curse at my washer every time I see it. Don't buy a Maytag Neptune!
