Hi, I have been using the microwave ordered from US. It had costed me approximately 10K about 3 years back which included import duty or something of Rs. 3.2K. It is good, however, one has to get the converter additionally, as it consumes 120v of power which is as per U.S. standerds. That costs around 4K. However, I got the cerkit changed of the same to use Indian power plugs and voltage, hence could save on the converter and its working fine.
On washing machine, I think, one model was available of Worldpool. It had audible instructions and was very much accessible. Sweety on this group may be able to throw some more light on the same. I however, have washing machine made of Croma and I can use it with a little workaround. Trust that helps. Thanks and warm regards, Rahul.
