Last night, maid was crying for a new one but I had night calls and hus asked him to hand wash. And she did...
I'm thinking should i get a Top load vs front loading:
A top-load washing machine is usually cheaper, but also less water-efficient. Top loaders are also faster than front loaders, with the average wash cycle around 30-40 mins. One biggest pro of top load is can throw in additional clothes in mid if washing. However they are much LESS gentle than front-loaders.
A front-load washing machine has many pros, mostly it is gentle on clothes, water efficient, quieter, can handle larger loads and has the advantage of being able to accommodate a dryer on top or providing some flat work surface.
Cons include having to bend over a bit to attend the load, more expensive at time of purchase, more electricity used as it takes a longer washing time and comes in limited color and design options.
Still can't make up my mind... I prefered a front load as it's more gentle to the clothes, but hus preferred to top load as it's cheaper.

Update 2nd Sept:
We went to courts and Gain City yesterday night to source for a washer... after listening to the promoter and also some researched online, we decided to go for electrolux front load washing machine. We saw one which is 6kg at $649.. hus and i looked at each other and says this is the one. The Washing Capacity is good, the size is smaller then others model, price is reasonable. BUT no immediate avaliable stock, since we cant wait till Mid-Oct. We went for a bigger in size 7kg EWF10751 http://www.electrolux.com.my/node38.aspx?productid=46738 and after some bargaining, we paid $819 with free delivery.
