OnMyWay Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 You can buy Maytag / Whirlpool washers at some SM, some Abenson and S&R. I'm fairly certain they have hot water input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBM Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 11 hours ago, Viking said: We are looking for a top loaded machine, 6-8 kg at price around 15k-20k p. Any suggestions of a good brand and model? I have looked online on several different machines but I can´t find any info on what temperatures that can be chosen. Here at home there is 30, 40, 60 and 90 degrees Celsius, is it the same in the machines sold in PH?? Or is this only available in the much more expensive machines? Just bought a sharp top loader fully automatic for P9K No bells or whistles like wobble tech just simple. Washes well but as new not able say more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bastonjock Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I did some work at Whirlpools warehouse facility in the Midlands, it was like the scene out of raiders of the lost arc where they load the boxes at a government warehouse Except it was all washing machine, robots were loading and unloading Bit of topic but I thought I'd throw it in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washes well but as new not able say more. We bought this one about 3 months ago. Very solid and does exactly what it should - no more and no less. Early days but very impressed with the machine for the price. Only problem was that the connector for the water inlet was not the right type so we had to cut off and connect two hoses together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity, as it was my go-to brand in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 A stupid question (I know they say there is no such thing but they're wrong!) - regardless of the machine being cold fill only, doesn't the machine itself heat the water to the chosen temperature? This renders the hot fill redundant. This was my understanding but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All machines we use at home here in Sweden do that. Only the big industrial type have hot fill here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but then the water is heated inside the machine. That is what I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
