IFB 6 Kg 5 Star Front Load Washing Machine 2X Power Steam (DIVA AQUA SXS 6010, 2023 Model, Silver, In-built Heater, 4 years Comprehensive Warranty)

So, the machine is worth the amount. I have understood and read all the reviews on amazon. Almost, a lot of them will suggest you not to go with it because you need to buy additional accessories worth 10,000 or it doesn’t work properly but nobody goes to understand in-depth that the machinery is not at fault here. It’s the Ifb after sales service that makes it look that way, the maintenance of the machinery is very easy.

Starting from the time I placed my order. The washing machine came in 2 to 3 days and was packed very nicely by Cloudtail. The engineer who came to install the washing machine, I had a horrible experience with them because at first he tried to sell me a stand worth 1600 at 1700rs, TDS adjuster worth 3k and a lot of accessories that were mandatory to maintain the machine but it’s not necessary to buy them just because they say so. I just purchased a bosch washing machine stand that has great reviews and is very adjustable but it was just to give machine some height. NOTE-It already has a built in stand that can be adjusted on uneven surfaces.

Now, the machine has good features and it will show error when there is something actually wrong with the machine. Ifb gave a user manual which came in pretty handy to understand how to operate it and what kinds of error will be displayed and what to do in those situations to tackle them. Thankfully, I never faced it till now.

It has 8 wash programs with Rapid wash that can be used to reduce the time in half (applicable at some wash cycles). I just use Cotton, Mixed fabrics and Quick Wash programs. Once you put the clothes in the machine, you just need to make sure that the tap stays on throughout so the machine can take the water when needed as all the wash cycle will make sure that the clothes come out semi dry and washed four times in water so that the surf is not there in the machine. Trust me, learnt this the hard way.

Just some quick tips-
1. Don’t put a lot of detergent in the machine because over foaming is a thing you want to avoid.
2. Liquid detergent helps but it’s not mandatory. So, you don’t have to go rushing to the supermarket and get yourself one.
3. Let the program run it’s course and don’t keep fiddling with the wash programs
4. Make sure you have a 16 Amp plug ready before the Ifb guy comes to install the washing machine.
5. Don’t always listen to the Ifb executive and read the manual properly before installation as they can misguide you. You don’t need to buy accessories worth 10k just because they said so.
6. You don’t need to buy a stand because even when it is trying the machine is spinning and drying clothes it’s actually very sturdy and doesn’t shake badly. We just got a stand for giving it some additional height.
That’s all. I hope this helps!!

I have recently bought an IFB DIVA AQUA SX 6kg washing machine from Amazon and the same was delivered yesterday. Today during the installation of the washing machine I dealt with multiple problems and concerns with respect to this machine.

1) I bought the machine with a trolley and cover sold on Amazon and immediately I was informed during the installation that the trolley is discouraged and only suggestive trolley of IFB is to be bought. IFB MACHINES DO NOT NEED A TROLLEY – said the IFB engineer. If such is a case you need to take this up with IFB and ensure that you do not have bundled packaging for the product.

2) When the machine was being installed, I noticed that the machine is wobbly. I mean how can this even pass the quality check from the factory if the machine is wobbly. How do you expect your consumer to even use this machine if the same cannot stand properly on the floor. So now the solution from the engineer is to buy your trolley worth Rs. 1600. Why? I THOUGHT YOUR MACHINES DO NOT NEED TROLLEY.

3) The drain pipe is so small that it can’t even reach the outlet area. How can you even make products which do not fulfill such basic requirements of a washing machine. The solution from your engineer is to buy a pipe extension worth Rs. 280. How irritating is this now. For 280 rs i would have bought a better product only.

4) The machine does not have a separate container for conditioner. I mean the cheapest machine in the market of a sub standard brand also has a compartment for conditioner. But the engineer tries to help me here by saying that I can add the conditioner after the first wash. Even semi automatic machines have this feature and YOU CANNOT CALL YOUR MACHINE A FULLY AUTOMATIC MACHINE if your consumer needs to add a fabric conditioner in the mid cycle of wash.

Disappointed with the overall experience and the brand and I suggest that you look into these concerns in a very serious manner. I do not think I can use this machine with a sub standard product specifications and so faulty that I am discouraged at using it in the first place.

IT HAS BEEN BUILT NOT NOT EVEN STAND PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I genuinely liked the IFB machine EVA AQUA SX LDT 6kg that I was using of my friend and was motivated to buy IFB product but now it is extremely disappointing to see that for the same model, I have been delivered a such a misled product.

STOP MAKING MACHINES WITH SIMILAR NAMES TO CONFUSE YOUR CUSTOMERS.

I DEMAND A FULL REFUND AND RETURN OF THIS JUNK SOLD ON AMAZON

I have always used IFB washing machines as they are easy to use and dependable.
This is a 6 kg fully automatic machine front loading.
The wash is good, it is pretty quiet and noise level is low even during the spin cycle.
Only negative: it does not half dry the clothes as my earlier model did. The clothes are wet, although not dripping with water.
Also, there is no separate place to add the fabric conditioner as was in my earlier machine.
I gave 4 stars because of this.
On the whole I am satisfied.
