Our one rule

10 years

Every decision starts with one question: will this last 10 years in a real home?

That's the only question we ask — of every motor, every drum, every seal. Every part has to earn its place. If it won't survive a decade of daily use, it doesn't make the cut. Simple as that.

The 7 checks below are how we prove it

7 Things to Check Before You Buy
Any Washing Machine

01 The motor

Why does an old washing machine get louder every year?

Direct-drive BLDC inverter — fewer wearing parts, quieter, backed 10 years

Two parts wear out.

Part 1 · The belt

Most machines drive the drum with a rubber belt.

It slips.It stretches.It gets louder every year.

→ Eventually it needs replacing.

Part 2 · The brushes

Many run a motor with small carbon brushes.

They rub.They wear down.
We removed both.
Direct drive The motor turns the drum itself. No belt.
BLDC Brushless. Nothing rubbing, nothing wearing.
Inverter Matches speed to the load, so it runs cooler and quieter.
Direct drive — motor mounted on the drum, no belt — versus belt-driven, where a rubber belt connects a separate motor and wears out over time
The honest part

It doesn't wash your clothes cleaner. A belt is a cheap fix, and belt-driven machines can run for years.

What direct-drive BLDC actually gives you
Fewer parts that can wear
Less noise
A motor that rarely dies
?Ask any showroom →

"Is the motor a BLDC/inverter or a plain induction motor — and is the drum belt-driven or direct drive?"

At this price, most are belt-driven with a basic motor.

Machines rarely fail all at once. Usually, one part wears out first — most often between 3–7 years. And it's almost never the motor.

Cutaway of the washing machine with the control board, motor, bearings and water inlet valve labelled
The control board (PCB) — ₹2,000–6,000 to replace, usually damaged by India's voltage surges. Most “10-year warranties” quietly exclude it. We test ours against voltage fluctuations, and our 2-year warranty is fully comprehensive — covering the PCB and every other part, not just the motor.
The belt and pulley wear out on most machines. With direct drive, there's nothing to replace.
The motor rarely fails (it's brushless), which is why we confidently back it with a 10-year warranty.
Bearings, seals and valves wear faster with hard water and overloading. That's why we include descaler in the box.
?Ask any showroom →

"Does your 10-year warranty cover the whole machine or just the motor — and is the control board tested for Indian voltage?"

Almost always, it's just the motor — the one part that rarely fails.

Most Indian cities have hard water. Over time, it leaves behind a layer of limescale inside the tub, pipes and valves. This is one of the main reasons washing machines age faster, and it also makes detergent less effective.

The solution isn't complicated — it's regular maintenance. Run the Tub Clean cycle once every two months with a descaler, before limescale has a chance to build up.

We've included 6 descaler sachets in the box — enough for a full year. Once you've used them all, simply buy more to keep your machine running at its best.

Water hardness · by region
Loading map…

Indicative, by region — hardness varies locally. Your pincode gives the real number.

The honest part

This is a cold clean — no heater. If your water is very hard, a heater or front-load will do better. Tell us your pincode and we'll give you your actual water reading, and whether this is the right machine for it.

?Ask any showroom →

"How often should I descale in my water?"

They won't know your water. We will.

The star rating measures exactly one thing: electricity per wash. This 5-star uses about 150 units a year — roughly ₹1,200. A 3-star uses about 190 units, roughly ₹1,520. So going 5-star saves you around ₹300 a year. Real — but small.

The honest part

Yes, it's 5-star. No, that's not the reason to buy it. Anyone waving the badge as a big saving is rounding up.

?Ask any showroom →

"Turn the star into rupees a year."

Most can't — the honest answer is “a few hundred.”

No — and here's the tell: nobody publishes a wash-cleanliness score for top-loaders. Not Samsung, not LG, not us. Any “wash rating %” you're shown was invented. Instead, our machine is IEC 60456 tested — the international standard for washing performance. On a top-loader, clean is a commodity — same pulsator, same tub, same water. “EcoBubble,” “TurboDrum” are trademarks stuck on ordinary parts. So this washes as well as the big brands, on the same hardware — you just don't pay extra for the name.

The honest part

The testing proves the machine meets an internationally recognised standard for washing performance. Beyond that, the real differences are simple: 8 programs, 6 water levels. Everything else is mostly branding.

?Ask any showroom →

"Is this machine IEC 60456 tested?"

They'll usually point to a trademark instead. A trademark names the technology. IEC 60456 testing measures washing performance.

8 kg is the weight of dry clothes it washes in one cycle — not the machine, not the water. For a family of four that's one full load — any of these:

In this load
10 T-shirts ·4 jeans ·4 kurtis ·5 towels ·= ~7.8 kg
One balanced ~8 kg load laid out flat: T-shirts, jeans, kurtis and towels
40 T-shirts11 pairs of jeans32 kurtis20 bath towels8 double-bedsheet sets

Bigger isn't better if you're spinning half-loads of air — and overloading past 8 kg is worse: clothes stop tumbling, come out dirty, and parts wear faster. Load to about 80% for the best wash.

The honest part

Joint family doing daily large loads? Size up. Two people? This is already more than you'll fill.

?Ask any showroom →

"What capacity does my household actually need?"

A bigger number isn't better if you're washing air.

A top-load isn't right for everyone — so here's when it isn't yours.

Want clothes near-dry straight out of the drum? Spin speed wrings the water out — this spins at 700 rpm, a front-load at 1,000–1,400.
Washing silk, a zari saree, fine wool? Hand-wash them, or get a front-load.
Need a hot hygiene wash? There's no heater here — that's a front-load's job.
The honest part

If any one of those is a dealbreaker, this isn't your machine. A showroom will never tell you that — on their floor, every machine is perfect for everyone. We'd rather lose the sale than sell you the wrong one.

That's all 7 checks.

You just did the homework the showroom hoped you'd skip.
