Do you have salty water problem in your area? And how many members live in the house.
never ever go for IFB.they are a bunch of cheats.very poor service and crooked people.after they broke their tie up with bosch about ten years ago,their washing machines have deteriorated in quality.
in your budget beter go for LG front loading(direct drive inverter motor).very good service and good machines.i have used an ifb digital model and one lg model recently.sister is using the same lg model after my advice.(F8068LDP)
second option will be siemens if service wont be a problem.
The water is soft , should not be an issue
Which model is good in siemens ? How is their service?
