Thanks guys, I went to The Good Guys this morning and bought this Samsung 6.5 Kg top loader for $529.00.
http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/buyonline/Samsung_6.5kg_Top_Load_Washer_WA65F5S2URWBeing how I fcuking hate dicking around with washing machines, I also bought the 3 year extended replacement warranty, which means that if it fcuks up between now and 2019, I ring them up and they deliver a new machine.
If it doesn't fcuk up between now and 2019 I'll make sure it does a month or so before the warranty expires..............
I've got 2 other washing machines here, a Maytag and a Whirlpool, both cost me well over 1000 bucks each because they're American built "Heavy Duty" machines, and they're both shiit. The Maytag's better than the Whirlpool, but only marginally. I had Simpson machines before them, and they were shiit too. I fcuking hate washing machines.
That youtube vid reminded me of what the Whirlpool was doing last night, the fcuking thing was dancing across the laundry floor to a tune that only it could hear, and it sounded like the missus was washing her favorite cannon balls.
I'm gonna put those POS' out on the footpath on Monday morning and get my local council to cart them away to recycle into something that actually works............
