Between the AQUA AQD-A800F W and AQUA AQW-FR88GT.BK washing machine models, both priced at approximately 5 million dong, which one is better and offers more features?
1. Review of AQUA AQD-A800F W Washing Machine – 4,990,000 VND
Despite being a budget product, the AQUA AQD-A800F W washing machine surprises with its front-loading design. Does this make you wonder how a product at such a low price can achieve such high sales?

The AQUA AQD-A800F W washing machine is a front-loading type with a washing capacity of 8kg, suitable for regular use in families, especially those with 3-5 members. The moderate capacity minimizes electricity waste for smaller households.
Despite its affordable price, the AQUA AQD-A800F W washing machine truly surprises consumers with its clothes cleaning capability and energy-saving features.
- The product is equipped with 15 different washing modes. Among them, it supports modes for washing children's clothes, down comforters, and thick jeans, etc. Various washing modes help protect fabric quality better and improve cleaning efficiency.
- The super-large washing drum with a diameter of up to 525 mm expands the clothes holding space, reducing tangling during spinning. However, larger drums may result in poorer balance and increased vibration. To address this issue, the machine is equipped with AI ABT technology to automatically detect centrifugal imbalances and adjust the speed accordingly, reducing vibration and noise to an optimal level.
Therefore, the product can be used for families with infants without worrying about disturbing their sleep.
- Steam Cycles washing technology: One feature I particularly like in newer washing machine models is the ability to wash with steam. With this feature, clothes are not only cleaner but also rid of bacteria, especially in today's polluted air environment. Additionally, it effectively reduces wrinkles in clothes. Sometimes, when too busy to iron clothes, clothes can be used immediately after washing and drying in the sun.
- Inverter Technology: Helps save electricity, reduce noise, and increase product lifespan.
- Pillow Drum: The drum is designed in a pillow shape to reduce clothes getting stuck in water spray holes during spinning and washing.

- Smart Dual Spray self-cleaning mechanism: The Smart Dual Spray mechanism cleans the inner glass surface of the washing machine door, reducing the accumulation of fabric lint on clothes in the next wash cycle.
- ABT antibacterial ring: Reduces the occurrence of mold and bacteria that may appear and adhere to the washing machine door gap, preventing unpleasant odors.
2. Review of AQUA AQW-FR88GT.BK Washing Machine – 4,990,000 VND
Different from the above design, the AQUA AQW-FR88GT.BK washing machine has a top-loading design, saving more space when used, suitable for families with limited space.

With a washing capacity of 8.8kg, it can wash clothes for 4 - 5 people similar to the above product. However, due to its vertical drum design, the AQUA AQW-FR88GT.BK washing machine has a lower spinning speed of only 700 revolutions per minute, but it will help save electricity more efficiently.
The machine only supports 9 washing programs. In particular, it does not support children's clothing washing mode, consumers should note this point when purchasing and using the product. In terms of equipped washing technology, the product also does not support much, only 2 notable features:
- ABT antibacterial washing drum: Helps prevent mold and bacteria growth inside the washing drum. Limit skin irritation or diseases from external environmental impacts.
- Pillow-shaped washing drum: With a washing drum design in the form of a pillow and many super small drainage holes only 2.5mm in diameter, it helps water spray more evenly on clothes and reduces the likelihood of tangling or wrinkling.

However, it has a disadvantage compared to the top-loading product in terms of space requirement and slightly higher electricity consumption.
To showcase the superiority and differences between the two products, I will create a detailed comparison table as follows:
