Whirlpool 7.5 kg Magic Clean 5 Star Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine Grey (MAGIC CLEAN 7.5 GENX GREY 5YMW)

Iam happy

I chose this machine because it had fully auto hot water wash at a suitable price point. There is endless debate of top load vs front load. This uses more water than a front load machine but is quieter, clothes get damaged less, and you dont have to bend over. Its a great machine, I am happy to own it and use it, but here is the critique.Pros:Fully autoHot water washWhirlpool- known brand with decent serviceCost 17100/- purchased a whirlpool trolley with wheels for 1400/- from installer technician for rust protection amd easy water drainCons:No (separate) place to add softener/conditioner. Check out the photo. I am forced to open the lid at the end of first rinse cycle and add conditioner into the tub. This mars the fire and forget experience expected from a fully auto machine. The wife says: not adding softener/conditioner solves the problem though, and saves money in the process. Touché.Somewhere in the fine print it is probably mentioned that you require a 15 amp socket for the 15 amp plug of this machine. So keep the socket handy. The manual says the machine should not be installed in a bathroom/ near a source of moisture, amd extension cords are a no-no. Should have given a longer cord then.Spin cycle feels rather slow. (Less RPM) And I am upgrading from a semi auto machine. Clothes come out nearly as dry though.I feel a capacity of 6.5 is small for a family of 2 adults and 2 small kids. Go in for the larger variant, its not a con of the machine though.Uses a larger amount of water than a front load, but we already knew that.Machine cycle stops the moment you open the lid and restarts when you close it, though its not a con.Full load normal wash cycle is 1hr 30 mins plus. The timer pauses when water is being filled.The stainwash, anti bacterial other sophesticated programs run longer (2-3 hrs), and accept much less load (1.5-2 kg) to be effective. See photo.Express wash feature reduces cycle time by upto 40%, but at the cost of the second rinse cycle. Clothes MAY smell of detergent after completion of the cycle.Other issues:In my opinion, call the brand helpline, register the product and ask for their AMC and extended warranty, rather than prchasing it from online retailer. I have (only) a hunch that it is likely to give better results than the (much cheaper) online alternatives in the long run. I will not be able to prove anything though.

Best washing machine

Extremely Disappointed with Whirlpool WhiteMagic Royal Washing MachineI purchased the Whirlpool WhiteMagic Royal washing machine hoping for a reliable and hassle-free experience. Unfortunately, it has been nothing but a constant source of frustration. Despite being under warranty, I’ve already had to call the service technician five times, which is completely unacceptable for a new product.The machine repeatedly develops issues and fails to function properly. In contrast, my LG washing machine served me flawlessly for over 13 years without a single problem. This Whirlpool model has been nothing short of a major disappointment — poorly designed and unreliable. It feels like a waste of money and time.I strongly urge anyone considering this product to think twice before buying it. My experience has been terrible, and I would not recommend this washing machine to anyone. Whirlpool needs to seriously rethink the quality of their products.

Very nice and quality product

The machine's washing capacity seems like 7Kg although I've bought a 6Kg machine - the washing space is quite big. Washing quality is good. I soak the clothes in the machine for 30-45min before running the machine. The washing bucket cover is not attached unlike that of the dryer. The controls are manual and simple.I've washed together 3 jeans, 3 shirt, 2 tshirt and 4 innerwears. Dryer can't handle the full washing load and needs to be run twice or thrice. The pipes are small and one has to purchase additional pipes. The power cord is also small, so I am using a Belkin extention cord, which I also use for my office purpose.Overall one should surely consider this washing machine at 8K-8.5K range. I bought it during Great Indian Festival and got it for Rs8041 using card discount.The delivery boy opened my app and gave himself a 5 star rating for delivery. 2 person should carry the package up to the second floor, whereas, only one person brought it up. Lucky there were no damages to the body. Amazon should check on their delivery boys and how they handle products.

Happy

It's good to use, but the beep sound is quite low considering if the machine is kept in gallery it's hard to listen it's beep. One more thing is it takes much time to wash cloths. The installation was very very tough, he did not came and gave us demo after calling the whirlpool customer service team multiple times. It's quite frustrating and took much time. Other than that, you can go for this machine considering its price range.
