Currently, everyone has the opportunity to choose the technique that suits him not only in price, but also in appearance.
It is almost impossible to decide which washing machine is the best, because each of them is special, with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Let's decide in this article which washing machine is the best.
We study visual parameters
Modern manufacturers take into account the small space in the bathroom, and in the home appliance market you can often find small-sized washing machines with great functionality.
Depth and loading
It will be narrow (no more than 45 cm) or standard (from 55 cm). To do this, you need to choose a place where it will stand, and also understand what you will wash.
When looking for an assistant, it is important to know the parameters that you need to focus on when choosing.
Most washing machines have drums with a load of no more than 6 kg, but if you plan to wash a lot or pillows with blankets, then it is more advisable to purchase a washing machine with a capacity of 7 kg or more.
Since we are talking about drums, it is worth mentioning the tanks, more precisely, which material of the washing machine tank is better. There are polymer and stainless steel.
Polymer tanks are light, silent, do not corrode and keep heat well, but are easily damaged.
And stainless steel is a time-tested part that has overtaken plastic in terms of performance.
By the way, the easiest question is: which drum in a washing machine is better? The answer is simple, because drums are always made of stainless steel.
Vertical or frontal?
By design, washing equipment can be front-loading or top-loading. Both options are popular and each with its own pros and cons.
Let's try to figure out with which load the washing machine is better.
Overview of frontal washing machines
The front-loading washing machine is the most common. Manufacturers are constantly trying to improve washing machines with this type of load and are working to increase their potential.
The advantages of acquiring such equipment include:
- Low price compared to a top-loading washing machine.
The possibility of embedding in furniture (kitchen set, washbasin).
For example, Candy Aquamatic 2D1140-07 easily fits in a small bathroom under the sink. Differs in antiallergic setting and thorough rinsing.- Quiet operation that, when properly installed, will not wake up even a sleeping small child.
- The presence of the hatch allows you to control the washing process.
Which front washing machine is better?
Very good feedback on the model LG M10B8ND1 , which is characterized by efficiency, reliability and functionality.
Super narrow washing machine with a load capacity of up to 4 kg and a spin speed of 1000 rpm.
Most often, the choice falls on Candy GV34 126TC2. The ideal helper for a small apartment with a capacity of 6 kg and low power consumption. Packed with 15 programs and special features.
Another model Bosch WLG 2416 MOE fits perfectly into small spaces. It is distinguished by its intelligent Volt Check protection, decent performance and 3D-Aquaspar mode.
The budget option is ideal for older people - Bosch WLG 20060. The most reliable and easy to manage model. Not a bad load - 5 kg and spin 1000 rpm, 3D-Aquaspar.
The best narrow washing machines also include Vestfrost VFWM 1041 WE, the quality and reliability of which is beyond doubt. A large number of good reviews confirm this. Loading up to 6 kg, energy saving A ++, spinning 1000 rpm.
If we consider medium-sized washing machines, then Bosch WLT 24440 with a 10-year engine warranty, a load of up to 7 kg, a teardrop drum, a digital display, electromagnetic leakage protection - a great option.
Not far gone Korean model LG F-12U2HFNA with a wide range of options.
Overview of top-loading washing machines
Top-loading machines first appeared in Soviet times. An ideal and indispensable technique in small apartments. Today they are no less popular than front-loading washing machines.
Significant benefits include:
Possibility of additional loading of linen during washing.- Small dimensions.
- Low vibration.
- Child lock (top control).
The disadvantages are:
- low cost;
- lack of design frills;
- lack of spare parts, which affects the cost of repairs.
What are the best vertical washing machines?
Zanussi ZWQ 61216 WA - a popular model with good capacity, spin up to 1200 rpm, with an energy consumption of 20%, a drum ventilation system, a delayed start and much more.
Electrolux EWT 1064 ERW with a load of up to 6 kg and a spin of 1000 rpm, electronic control, 14 programs, Time Manager function, European assembly, etc. Of the minuses - noisy work.
Technical specifications
Efficiency classes…
…energy saving
The most economical in terms of consumption are A+++ class washing machines.
…washing
Since 1995, 6 classes have been recorded - from A to G.
... spin
It indicates the number of revolutions and which spin in the washing machine is better depending on your preferences.
At 1500 rpm, the laundry comes out with a moisture content of less than 45% and corresponds to the letter A.
At such speeds, things are almost dry, but their appearance is often lost and you have to work hard to iron the product.
Class B is characterized by humidity not more than 54% at 1200-1500 rpm;
C - humidity not more than 63%, rpm 1000-1200;
D - 72% at 800-1000 rpm;
E - 81%, rpm from 600 to 800;
F - 90% and 400-600 rpm;
G is the smallest RPM at 400 and the highest humidity is over 90%.
The most common classes are B, C.The washing machine reaches maximum speed only in the last seconds, usually in cheap models it is no more than 30 seconds, medium - about 2 minutes, and expensive - almost 4 minutes.
Washing programs
A long time ago, washing machines could please their owners with just two or three washing modes. They were mostly cotton, wool and delicate items.
Nowadays, it is difficult to decide which washing machine is better. Because the manufacturer stuffed the equipment with such functionality that you do not have time to use each of them.
- –
Cotton. - – Hand and delicate wash.
- - Wool.
- - Quick wash.
- - Fluff.
- - Sportswear.
- - Dark items.
- - Kids' things.
- – Steam care.
- - Outerwear.
- - Bed sheets.
- - Hypoallergenic wash.
And that is not all. Despite the abundance of choice, 99% of the population uses a small number of programs.
Manufacturer
Of course, it is very difficult to choose the best, here the personal preferences of the future owner of the washing machine will rather play. For information, you can look at the rating of manufacturers and focus on it.
Each company has its own consumers and answer the question: “Which company’s washing machine is better?” - not easy.
Additional functions
There are a lot of them, but the main ones are useful and can come in handy, for example:
- control system (availability of water quality control sensors, child protection, etc.);
- Aqua Stop leakage protection (necessary and practical, it will save neighbors from flooding and is installed on almost all modern washing machines);
- direct drive (the drum works thanks to the engine, not the belt);
- Eco bubble (more effective removal of dirt due to the dissolution of the powder before washing);
- delayed start.
Price
It can be very cheap, a little more expensive and quite expensive.
- Cheap models do not offer a bunch of features and various bells and whistles. The number of programs is the minimum, and the quality of the parts leaves much to be desired. The service life of such equipment is 4-5 years.
- If we consider technology a little more expensive, then
the set of programs is already more solid and there are additional functions. - In the expensive category not many models. washing machines are hardy and work for 10 years or more. The maximum number of functions and gentle washing undoubtedly justify the investment, if only because it is not only a washing machine, but also a whole laundry room.
Mechanical or electronic control
Mechanical control involves manual switching of modes. This type is simple but less functional.
With electronic control, the washing machine is more complex, but also more independent. She weighs herself, collects water herself, pours the powder and calculates the washing time. After that, the display will display all the data and inform the “brain” about the washing parameters.
But not everything is so smooth, the washing machine will not work correctly except in a 220 volt network.
Buying a washing machine is a responsible and serious business. After all, not many can afford to change it every couple of years. Usually this is a purchase for many years.
Interesting article! I'm going to change my washer soon.
Yes, the article is really very interesting :) and I already bought a washer from a hotpoint, it’s very pretty, neat, it works without failures, it’s a miracle)
Well, indesit is still known not only for its low price, many people love this brand very much.
Thank you for the article
Indesit is perhaps good not only for its low price tag, but also for its quality.
I liked the article and I can agree with many of the arguments given here. The only thing I would add to your review is the mention of the Atlant brand, since washing machines of this model are now the most popular among buyers. The thing is that Atlant washing machines are more profitable in terms of price, but in terms of characteristics they are in no way inferior. I just bought a washing machine Atlant CMA 70S1010-18, which has a front-loading and can wash up to 7 kg at a time. And I am completely satisfied with my purchase, because things are washed very high quality. At the same time, the washing machine fits perfectly in the bathroom and works silently.
I can recommend the Atlant company, because I use it myself, I can’t say the model, but the washing machine is of high quality, it has been serving for two years, there are no problems with it and there weren’t, other washing machines broke down much faster! Atlanta is the best!
here they brag about their washing machines, I don’t want to be left behind either! I have a Whirlpool - a good reliable washing machine, we have been at home for many years) for the article, by the way, thanks, it is written in great detail!
Well, for whom, how .. We took a hotpoint, in general, we didn’t hear much about the brand at that time, and we didn’t lose.
Although I am not an expert, I can safely recommend a good washing machine and this is Atlant! I have had a washing machine from this company for three years now and there are no problems with it at all, everything is just wonderful!
Personally, I choose the Atlant washing machine, it is at least very suitable for the price, other companies bend prices very much. Then I pay attention to the washing modes, my washing machine can wash everything, although here, of course, I don’t argue that almost all of them are. It is very easy to use, if I didn’t understand something initially, then everything is described in detail in the instructions. It uses electricity, of course, normally, but there is nowhere to go. I personally am very pleased with my washing machine, I still have no complaints, although I have been using it for almost a year now. By the way, it is very stylish and modern, and for children there is a blocking mode, I immediately drew attention to it.
I like my Indesit. In general, they really can find a reliable washing machine for every taste and size - and at the same time it will be quite affordable
For probably more than 10 years I have been using a candy top-loading washing machine. It seems to me that it will be much more efficient and convenient than those with a horizontal one. Of course, one of the main criteria is that it takes up almost half the space (a super option for studios and odnushki) And secondly, their loading is almost the same, and sometimes more than that of the “horizontal” The car has plenty of them and at the same time is quite inexpensive.
My LG washing machine is 14 years old. Never failed and never broke. Perhaps if you disassemble it, you can find a lot of things to replace, but so far it works. I wash it often, every other day and every day, sometimes 3 times a day. I am completely satisfied. When I change, I want LG again
Can i ask you. Which modern washing machines have normal time cycles.? Let me explain. Now I have Indesit nsl 605, junk apparently full price \ quality. What I don’t like is the main feature of the type, 2 seconds and it turns on, but there is no benefit. 2 seconds and she “turned on”, and then she thinks for 10 seconds to turn on the water, when changing the washing cycle she also thinks up to 10 seconds, after spinning there is a pause of 10 seconds, sometimes when she tries to put the laundry, with slow rotation of the drum it stops altogether as if there is 100 kg. Noisy, we use 2 programs, the rest are very long. It is not possible to change the temperature or speed or extra rinse during operation.
My mother-in-law Bosch in 2004 has max 4, it seems with an aquastop, the programs change on the go, it just adds time or decreases, the speed also, add an additional rinse as well, it just adds time and that's it, there are no delays between cycles at all, for example, the spin cycle has passed, the engine turned off and immediately water supply, it does not wait for the drum to stop. The only plus of Indesita is that the pump works when needed, i.e. if there is no more water during the spin cycle, then it turns off, but again, a very noisy pump.
In terms of quality, I like the Hotpoint washing machine, I bought it three years ago. It erases silently, wringing out what is needed. Yes, and in terms of design, wow, there is something to pay attention to.
Thanks for the helpful and interesting article!
How to choose a washing machine? Washing machines came to the aid of housewives relatively recently, abolishing the hard work of cleaning clothes by hand.
I have Indesit, I don’t wash it with my hands, so everything goes to the washing machine right away.
I agree, indesit washers are very popular in our country, when I bought my own, everyone advised me this brand, I can’t say anything bad, it washes really well, it doesn’t spoil the linen
For myself, I identified whirlpool as a first-class and reliable model of a washing machine. It is absolutely quiet in operation, as it is an inverter motor. The linen is washed carefully. The price is adequate.
Arseny, I completely agree with you.! In terms of reliability, the whirlpool is a very cool and cool washing machine.
I read it, thanks) And I took Indesit for myself. I'm happy)
In fact, we thought for a long time about which one to take - with vertical loading or front-loading. As a result, we settled on a Hotpoint vertical washing machine. It is in no way inferior to frontal cameras, and besides, it takes up little space.
I chose the Indesit EWSD 51031 washing machine. It works properly, there are no complaints. Many useful options and loading in 5 is enough. It makes little noise, which is also a big plus.
It feels like comment bots write and advertise their brands.
I want up to 15K a washing machine for renting an apartment. Brands indesit, beko, candi, atlant fit in.
We need a repairable one, simple as an ak-47 ... well, to wash it more.
Nothing was said about the Kandy brand. The rest is equally bad or something better? Atlant did not like the duck refrigerator, it broke 2 times in 3 years. Chinese should be better and cheaper than Chinese-Belarusian, IMHO.
I would not say that vertical washers are somehow expensive, at least we took Indesite for ourselves at a tempting price.
I don’t agree with the term cheap means low quality parts, I took Samsung China with my wife, the cheapest for 3.5 kg, bombed for 10 years, then the engine died, during this time only the belt and pump were replaced. The control module burned out for 4 months, even if I don’t know why it is being praised so much?) Now China makes quite normal even cheap washing machines, there is a collapsible drum, you won’t have to cut if the bearing knocks like in Indesite, and there are a lot of parts on them.
