Hi, We are three bachelors living in bangalore, for almost 3 years, we had a top load washing machine before, but as one of our friends shifted to Hyderabad, he took that washing machine with himself...

So now we want to buy a new washing machine, but the issue is all the front load is very costly and second hand washing machines, are not worth it as they are selling 2019 models...

So I'm going for a new one, found out that voltas beko 7 kg front load washing machine is only for 20K with credit card discount and it has 3 year comprehensive warranty and 12 years of motor warranty, is above the competition, I will tape it with anti rat mesh, even though we don't have any pests...

At home I have a 10 kg bosch front load, and my friend has an IFB 8kg front load so buying a voltas beko seems like a bad option but seeing reviews and warranty, I feel that it will work fine for at least 5 years, which is enough for us...

So could you recommend, should I go for it, or invest more and buy bosch? Because I might shift to different locations and friend also after 10 months, only one will be left

Edit: Even after so many negative reviews, we all decided to buy this washing machine but we have taken flipkart insurance as well, with pest mesh to protect the washing machine and cover with stand, and will keep everyone posted, as how this worked, if someone asks in the comments...

On 29th May, I went to DMart Kardhani, Jaipur with my mother, aunt and cousin... We went shopping and got out, I parked my car near the parking entrance as the guard told me not to take the trolley outside the dmart premise, I waited for some time as another person was already putting his commodities in the car... But my cousin came and told me that the guard has allowed to park near the entrance... I did park there and filled my things into the boot space, in just 2 mins but suddenly one car came in front of the car to park... I sat inside my car wanting to leave thinking that person would take a little back so that I could pass, and funny thing the other parked near me was still already there... Suddenly the front car person got out and told me that I would not take my car from here... I started having arguments with him, he was an old guy around 40/50... When I stood in front of him he started pushing me, I pushed him back, then his wife, my mother and aunt started stopping me... Not stopping that guy, he started saying "maar maar, tere jaise bahut dekhe hai"... I saw that there was space I could leave but no that again pushed me and swore against me, I could take it at all and punched him... Then a brawl happened, I didn't want to injure that guy badly and stopped, but then he started hitting me, then suddenly the public came and started stopping us, in that time someone snatched my gold chain 25 grams... I didn't realise at that... The guard told me that you leave from the back gate earlier and he could have said this thing... With my torn shirt and a scratch on my chest, I left not realising that my chain had been snatched... As I was leaving that person came at full speed to smash my car in time, I saved it and got home, I took a photo while in the car to see how much my shirt was torn... I came back home around 10 pm, while applying medicine I realised that my chain is not there... I went back to the place of the brawl, but didn't find anything, so I asked the guard for CCTV footage of that area, he said that the manager had left and only he had access to show the footage, come tomorrow at 8:30 in the morning... I went as instructed by 8:30 am, but then the manager told me you need FIR or police personnel to see the footage... After a long process of FIR and convincing the police to go along with me for footage, the personnel came with me and saw the footage, and it was confirmed that the chain was snatched mid fight... Not clear who stole it, now police have asked the other to summon the police station for a statement... I don't have much hope for the chain now, but after the brawl, I was thinking why did I indulge with that guy, I should have talked with the guard to let me go through from somewhere, and these fighting, arguing are not meant for well educated people, or if escalated more maybe call police on 100 number
