We made a pact that each furniture we acquire would have to be liked by both. This indeed proved to be very time-consuming when we found ourselves constantly in conflict with each other's taste.
We started off with the easiest but most vital piece of electrical appliance for every home - Fridge. Not much of a problem in selecting the model to our liking, since fridge traditionally has limited range of colors. What is more important is to have a fridge of reasonable size with the most efficient power consumption, since its going to be on 24/7. We stumbled upon a website that details the specifications of many currently available fridge and do up an excel sheet for comparison. With a little mathematics, we compared the power efficiency per litre size of the freezer since that compartment is the most resource hungry one. Some fridge boasted the most energy efficient fridge around but that is because the freezer is so small and we certainly don't want that. We got ourselves a white F&P fridge with the most energy efficient of all similar sized freezer. Nevermind that it cost slightly more than other brands, as the cost can be recoup over time with its low power consumption.
Washing machine - Since laundry washing is limited to only once a week, we are not as selective as with the fridge but it must have the capacity for bed linen and stuffs. Our only concern is its reliability or the lifetime before it breaks down. We decided to go with LG as many friends and relatives testified that they were using it for years without any problems. We were not moved by the gimmicks of nano-ions particles that supposingly can kill bacterial. I can do that with a few cupful of dettol into the wash.
