Breakfast and LG washer

After our pig's trotter and kway chup breakfast at Tampines St 11, we proceeded to Courts to buy the LG washer. We had one which lasted for more than 12 years. The one (Kuche) that replaced the 12 year old LG was unserviceable only after 1 year and 11 months. It came with a 1 year warranty whereas the Korean made LG came with a 2 year warranty. Below is the one (8kg) which we've ordered and will be delivered in 2 days time. Total cost including delivery is about $470.

Washing machine broke down again

Almost 10 days ago, I blogged about our washing machine (brand is Kuche) giving us headache. We got it repaired by a technician from the servicing agent. A piece of coin, I was told was the culprit. After that the washer worked for just one wash and it broke down again the very next day.
I tried contacting the servicing agent again but to no avail. After more than a week of hand washing our clothes, finally we managed to get the technician to come and have a look at it.
He told us  a part of the washer needs to be replaced. The cost is $200. This is ridiculous as it was not even 2 years old. We decided not to get it repaired. Tomorrow we will be looking for either a Japanese or Korean brand washing machine. Goodbye to German technology!

What are you going to do if your washing ......?

Ever wonder what's gonna happen if your washing machine is out of order? Yours and your family's clothes could not be washed. To get the washer repaired or replaced, it may take a few days and so meanwhile what are you going to do with the clothes? Getting the clothes to the laundry may cost you a lot of money.
We are in this dilemma since yesterday. Our washer broke down and the technician  is only available in 4 days time to repair it. However, fortunately for us there is a laundromat nearby (5km away). Below are pictures of our washing machine (not even 2 years old) and the laundromat.

We chose the medium machine which washes up to 10 kilo of clothing. It took 38 minutes to wash and cost us $5 (includes detergent). There are 2 coin changers whereby one can change the notes for the dollar coins.
