My previous 金章 last for 7 years - used by me & husband for 3 years and then later plus my 1st child. When it started to 壞, i was too silly to spend a lot of money to fix.
Now used by 6 persons and we have 2-3 機 everyday (separately for kids / adults and tse tse). My 2nd 金章 broken down seriously (could not move at all when turned on button) and I decided to buy a new one immediately since I don't want to waste the money and time and my family cannot survive without clean clothes. I don't want to send the kids' clothes to laundry neither. (delivery and fixing on the same day for new purchase ; need to wait if repair and don't know when to get it back!!!!)
As advised by 師傅,don't expect a very long life span if the washing machine got many many functions. And don't use more than 800轉 otherwise the clothes will be damaged quickly.
