| 1199158 | 2011-05-03 12:23:00 | I'm guessing the retailers idea of 'cost' is the GST inclusive figure. They add the 10% and sell it, pocketting the 10% as well as the 15% GST that they claim back later. Cost will probably include the GST they had to pay when acquiring the product. They can only claim that portion of the GST and not the full 15% on the sold price. |

But...if it can't / is to expensive to repair, what is the general consensus on good brands? Or brands to stay away from? |

Flicked thru a few pages didnt see any 380 or 400s problems. Maybe explains why my 40 year old one still going like new. Its outlasted the F&P Gentle Annies and later Smart drives, I have a 380 in the house and a 400 in the shed both no problems for last 20 years. |

| 1199164 | 2011-05-04 10:33:00 | We've had a Whirlpool front loader for about 10 years. It's never given us any problem & washes cleaner than the top loaders. We've had top loaders. The old ones were good & lasted. The newer one's are rubbish. Our last 2 (F&P) lasted just long enough to be out of warranty |

| 1199166 | 2011-05-04 20:41:00 | As I've been doing the Laundry in my house forever - and the machines last longer that way, because nobody else will stuff it up - I'm also a big fan of the top loaders (I had a front loader or two in my young days). My F&P Smartdrive has been going now for well over 12 years, with no end in sight. Love it. sarel |
