If you're on the lookout for a budget washing machine, Aqua's products are a must-consider. Despite their low prices, the brand ensures meticulous design and equipped technology. The two best-selling budget washing machines from Aqua are the 8kg Aqua Inverter AQD-A802G.S and the 9kg Aqua AQD-A902G.W. Both feature a beautiful front-loading design and multiple washing programs. So, if they share a similar price range, which model should you choose? Read my reviews and comparisons of these 5 million VND Aqua washing machines (horizontal drum) after using them to see the differences between the two products.
1. Review of Aqua Inverter 8kg AQD-A802G.S Washing Machine
The Aqua Inverter 8kg AQD-A802G.S has a silver outer shell with sharp, square corners, giving it a robust and aesthetically pleasing look in living spaces. With a 8kg washing capacity, it's commonly used in households (especially for 3-5 people). However, during usage, the machine produces some noise and vibration from the traditional Belt Drive motor. The noise, however, is not too loud, thanks to the Inverter technology that not only reduces energy consumption but also ensures smooth motor operation, minimizing noise.

The product offers 15 convenient and flexible washing programs for all types of fabrics. The optimal spin speed of up to 1400 revolutions per minute efficiently dries clothes, reducing drying time, which is essential during the rainy season or on less sunny days.
Besides, the Aqua 8kg washing machine, despite its affordable price, is equipped with a plethora of modern washing technologies, ranging from conventional to specialized features, enhancing the effectiveness of cleaning clothes to the maximum. Since using the Aqua 8kg AQD-A802G.S washing machine, my family's clothes have maintained better color, reduced wrinkles, and always stayed clean and fresh all day, thanks to technologies like:
- Pillow Drum: Enhances fast drainage and reduces wear on clothes
- ABT Antibacterial Drum: Protects health, prevents mold and bacteria from clinging to clothes after washing
- Steam Washing: Clothes washed with steam reduce odor and wrinkles better, softening the fabric.
- Large 525mm Drum: Expands washing space for clothes, avoiding the problem of clothes tangling together.
- AI Artificial Intelligence Application: Proposes water level and washing time based on fabric material and actual weight through artificial intelligence.
- Smart Dual Spray Drum Hygiene Technology: Automatically cleans the inside of the drum, preventing fabric buildup on clothes after washing.
In summary, the Aqua 8kg AQD-A802G.S washing machine is an affordable product that is highly recommended for use. Especially if you are busy or have small children, this will be an invaluable assistant for your family's laundry. The product is reasonably priced and currently discounted to only 4,690,000 VND *Price recorded as of 07/2023
2. Review of Aqua 9kg AQD-A902G.W Washing Machine
The Aqua 9kg AQD-A902G.W washing machine has a similar design, but the machine's casing is elegantly black and white, suitable for women or young people who prefer a minimalist living space. The washing machine has a larger standard washing capacity of about 9kg, allowing for more clothes to be washed, meeting the usage needs of 3-5 people at a high level.

In terms of structure, the machine is also equipped with a Belt Drive motor and Inverter energy-saving technology, so it operates with minimal noise or slight vibrations. Additionally, the 9kg Aqua washing machine is equipped with similar washing technologies and spin-drying capabilities, enhancing the efficiency of washing and cleaning clothes, such as:
- Large 525mm Drum
- Steam Washing Technology
- AI Balance Technology
- ABT Antimicrobial Ring
- Pillow Drum
- Self-cleaning Smart Dual Spray Drum. The product is reasonably priced and currently discounted to only 5,390,000 VND *Price recorded as of 07/2023
3. Comparison of 2 Aqua 5 Million VND Washing Machines (Horizontal Drum)
In general, based on my reviews of two budget models from the Aqua brand, it can be seen that the products share similar features and designs. The most noticeable difference is the washing capacity and power consumption of the products. You can refer to the comparison table below for a clearer understanding of the differences between them.

Overall, both products have good washing and spinning capabilities, but the Aqua 8kg AQD-A802G.S front-loading washing machine will save more electricity with a lower price. If your family is small and doesn't have a high laundry demand, this product is highly recommended.
However, if your family also has around 3-5 members but has a higher laundry demand and quantity of clothes, you may consider the Aqua 9kg AQD-A902G.W washing machine for better performance. One experience I gained from using my washing machine is not to use a machine with a washing capacity smaller than the actual load. Using such a machine for an extended period can damage the motor. Although both machines can meet the laundry needs of 3-5 people, the choice depends on the actual clothing situation in your household.
