Fully Automatic Washing Machine and Dishwasher

[MadAxe]

I want to buy a Fully Automatic Washing Machine and a Dishwasher.
I have a family of 5. So would 8 Kg fully automatic front load washing machine be fine?
Front load or Top load?
I don't have much knowledge about these appliances. The machines should do most of the work and there should be minimum human effort.
Please provide your suggestions.
I don't have a budget but don't wanna overspend.
Would appreciate value for money model recommendations.

I just do not like ifb. No particular reasons. LG is fine. Would get Samsung next time around. Hopefully at least 7-8 years from now coz mom would kill me if LG doesn't last for that long.

Don't over think. Save yourself a couple of thousands. You'll end up using the quickest wash in most cases. Lol

@igloo Seems like a good product!

IFB and LG seem to be market leaders in the washing machine category. Most guys are suggesting either LG or IFB.

True. But don't wanna regret my purchase like I did with my LG refrigerator. It seemed a good product on paper.That's why asking reviews before buying.

Thanks a lot everyone for your help and recommendations. I took all your insights into account. Was supposed to buy the 8kg one but the 9kg LG FHT1409ZWS costed me less than it's 8kg variant. Lol. Don't know how. So went for it without thinking as the energy consumption and dimensions were nearly same.

This costed me 35k. Is selling on Chroma and Flipkart for 44k.
Installation: Bought it on 28th July. It took them 3 days to get my machine installed which I think isn't satisfactory when I was promised next day delivery and installation. Only after repeated calls and complaints the LG technician visited on the 3rd day. He was in a hurry and just explained the features and left hurriedly stating that he had more installations to do.
Initial impressions: Did 2 washes today.1st Intensive Care and 2nd Sportswear.The machine waa very quiet no vibrations at all though these were washes were at relatively low RPMs at 800 and 400 respectively.
Would do the Cotton Wash tomorrow but it would take an hour and half and don't have that much time.
There is no quick wash or express wash as in IFB but there is Super 14 which claims to wash clothes in 14 minutes.
Review: Would update this post gradually as i use the machine.
