go for it…

Ok

I’m writing this review after using a couple of years.
– Noise level increased.
– Service is the main drawback.
– If you have hard water at home consider using filters to decrease the levels.
Pros:
– Stylish
– good for a small family
– Good warranty.

So, the machine is worth the amount. I have understood and read all the reviews on amazon. Almost, a lot of them will suggest you not to go with it because you need to buy additional accessories worth 10,000 or it doesn’t work properly but nobody goes to understand in-depth that the machinery is not at fault here. It’s the Ifb after sales service that makes it look that way, the maintenance of the machinery is very easy.

Starting from the time I placed my order. The washing machine came in 2 to 3 days and was packed very nicely by Cloudtail. The engineer who came to install the washing machine, I had a horrible experience with them because at first he tried to sell me a stand worth 1600 at 1700rs, TDS adjuster worth 3k and a lot of accessories that were mandatory to maintain the machine but it’s not necessary to buy them just because they say so. I just purchased a bosch washing machine stand that has great reviews and is very adjustable but it was just to give machine some height. NOTE-It already has a built in stand that can be adjusted on uneven surfaces.

Now, the machine has good features and it will show error when there is something actually wrong with the machine. Ifb gave a user manual which came in pretty handy to understand how to operate it and what kinds of error will be displayed and what to do in those situations to tackle them. Thankfully, I never faced it till now.

It has 8 wash programs with Rapid wash that can be used to reduce the time in half (applicable at some wash cycles). I just use Cotton, Mixed fabrics and Quick Wash programs. Once you put the clothes in the machine, you just need to make sure that the tap stays on throughout so the machine can take the water when needed as all the wash cycle will make sure that the clothes come out semi dry and washed four times in water so that the surf is not there in the machine. Trust me, learnt this the hard way.

Just some quick tips-
1. Don’t put a lot of detergent in the machine because over foaming is a thing you want to avoid.
2. Liquid detergent helps but it’s not mandatory. So, you don’t have to go rushing to the supermarket and get yourself one.
3. Let the program run it’s course and don’t keep fiddling with the wash programs
4. Make sure you have a 16 Amp plug ready before the Ifb guy comes to install the washing machine.
5. Don’t always listen to the Ifb executive and read the manual properly before installation as they can misguide you. You don’t need to buy accessories worth 10k just because they said so.
6. You don’t need to buy a stand because even when it is trying the machine is spinning and drying clothes it’s actually very sturdy and doesn’t shake badly. We just got a stand for giving it some additional height.
That’s all. I hope this helps!!
