Pisces69 6th Gear December 24, 2007 Share December 24, 2007 FP have been in the market for how long There is your answer already. Brands like Hoover, Elba, Ariston etc r more established & trusted. But even some of these old brands r now made in China. Korean brands r also good but only in the front loading segment for a couple of years only. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleWolve Clutched December 24, 2007 Share December 24, 2007 Those washing machines always claim to be 7kg, 6.5kg, 8kg........ how we know the machine really has the capacity that it claims? VTECK says it opens at 5000 RPM, A168 says it's 0-100 in 18 seconds, how we know it has the performance it claims? This type of question is being asked by a 10 year old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weiming 1st Gear December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 (edited) Yah..they do. Saw a few of them in HN Millenia Walk. However they appear to be pretty basic machines compared to the Bosch, Electrolux, Brandt, Thomson etc. Edited December 25, 2007 by Weiming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiming 1st Gear December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 Erm...F&P owns Elba now and has been around since 1934. Interestingly enough, F&P is a NZ company and used to be a OEM for the Kelvinator brand of fridges. FP have been in the market for how long There is your answer already.

Genie47 1st Gear December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 Brandts used to be made in Germany. I had the last model that was made in Germany. Now all the Brandts are made in Turkey. Bosch got two versions. The German made ones and the Poland made ones, I think. Find those that are made in EU. The Europeans are undisputed leaders in horizontal drum washers. You can check out Candy but I think Candy though is Italian brand is now made in China. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 uncle p69 how about Brandt? i love the small size washer very nice design leh but over my budget for washer coz suppose to be gift from others cannot choose exp one. =================== I hears that one is still made in Europe (germany?) For front loader, try to get a European brand cos they have many years & lot's of experience with them, just like older guys like uncle p69. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear December 25, 2007 Share December 25, 2007 (edited) F&P new player? oh...I didn't know that. Kenna tua-ed. ===================== I've only been hearing this name for a few years now. Maybe they have been around in other countries but I doubt it. Maybe some new joint venture to manufacture in China.

Korean brands r also good but only in the front loading segment for a couple of years only. ====================== Oh OK so I guessed right. A new joint venture by some old birds. But where do they mainly manufacture now? That is a very important point. If mainly in China, then Why did they lose the Elba & Kelvinator brand? That name is well known. Now F&P makes all sorts of stuff other then fridges & washers. Whose technology did they buy for all the other stuff? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kianbeng Clutched December 26, 2007 Share December 26, 2007 steal from old birds lor Wah piang. Paid $1k+ for this washer. I had the impression that it was a expensive + premium good brand. Even had 1 relative who swear by it. But after I purchased then I realised she used it for minimal clothes. sigh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear December 26, 2007 Share December 26, 2007 U want heavy duty front loader stick with those like Hoover, Ariston, Thompson & all those old timer European brands. My Whirlpool (made by Philips) is still good after >12 years. Only my wifey want to change to heavy duty (7kg) to wash curtains & bedsheets/comforter but I think it's not necessary. The Europeans have all along made front loaders & the Japs & Koreans r only just starting to make. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
