Washing machines have become much more accessible compared to the past. Nowadays, you can find washing machines from well-known brands like Samsung, Whirlpool, Godrej, LG, and Panasonic for under ₹10,000. If you search carefully, you’ll discover some models that offer excellent value for money. While it’s still challenging to find a high-quality fully automatic washing machine in this price range, there are several impressive semi-automatic washing machines available. These machines simplify laundry tasks significantly, although they require manual operation for the washer and dryer functions, unlike fully automatic machines. Despite needing more time and effort, semi-automatic machines provide reliability and great value for their cost.
