How to spend money smart

How to be smart about choosing appliances for your home?

We, like any other person, always want to make a choice in favor of something successful, and it doesn’t matter what household appliances we buy.

If you have the intention to spend a certain amount, we go to the store, trying to choose a model to your taste, not forgetting to listen to the advice of a sales assistant.

We would like to note that relying on your inner voice when choosing equipment is quite risky, as well as trusting the opinion of sellers. After all, you are adults and you perfectly understand that this person needs to sell something and more expensive, because his salary will depend on this.

It is better that you spend a considerable amount sensibly, having previously searched for material and reviews on the Internet, rather than spend money and nerves when, a couple of months after the purchase, you start knocking on the doorsteps of service centers.

You can see all the details and characteristics of each brand you are interested in in the descriptions of the model.

And do not worry, lovers of ergonomic and beautiful household appliances, you can also find photo and video reviews on the Internet.

The only difficulty is that you can hardly find an objective opinion about the reliability of this washing machine, but the truth is that sales assistants in local stores are unlikely to help you with this.

Visiting special forums and resources with user reviews of washing machines will be quite a useful activity. But since there is no generalized information, you will be able to see a lot of, for the most part, conflicting opinions.

But who to believe, and is it worth it at all? After all, behind every opinion there is a new person with his own experience, or vice versa, behind a good review there is a person who posted this text for the money that the manufacturer paid him. As you can see, finding the best washing machine is quite a difficult task.

Analyze information from forums

After you receive certain information from various forums, reviews and other things, you should contact mass media or service center employees.

In the centers, on whose statistics the mainstay of our article is based today, thousands of repairs take place a year. Also, after each repair, both positive and negative reviews are recorded.

That is why we are not afraid to take responsibility and make a rating of washing machines of various brands in terms of the quality and reliability of each of them.

We trust the experts

For several years, employees of various maintenance and service centers have collected rating statistics on the quality of work of all washing machines.

Factors for rating the reliability of washing machines

The following factors were taken into account:

1. Frequency and number of calls with breakdowns of this type.
2. The level of complexity of the repair.
3. Cost of repair (replacement of parts).
4. And other factors.

Data for the reliability rating of washing machines

When evaluating reliability, we took into account:

• Price.
• The service life of the device under the most intensive use.
• Quality level of used parts.
• Properties and additional design features.
• Build quality level.

We took into account designs with spin modes and energy consumption by class, ranging from “A +” to “B”. Marking "C" was not taken into account at all.

In this rating, washing machines are not lined up in terms of their number of sales, since not everyone is ready to pay a large amount of money for a washing machine that he only needs for washing.

All data was based on a three-year uptime period from the date of purchase.

In addition, we decided not to consider and not to list such brands as "Smeg", "Shulthess" and other hardly common models on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Review of stamps, assignment of places

Mile is not ranked

Meile are appliances from a premium German manufacturer, the high cost of which is determined by high quality, warranty and build quality.

1st place.Bosch and Siemens

The honorable first place in the TOP of the best washing machines belongs to the German manufacturers Bosch ("Bosch") and Siemens ("Siemens") (in the table, these two brands are combined into one, named as Bosch).

Failure factors in the first few years do not cross the bar of 5%.

The value for money is just wonderful.

2nd place. Electrolux

Only half a percent behind Bosch is the Electrolux (“Elestrolux”).

Electrolux takes second place.

3rd place. Zanussi

The brand Zanussi (“Zаnussi”), which is produced by the Electrolux concern, confidently took third place.

By the way, customer reviews were also present in the rating. The number of repairs carried out with Zanussi does not exceed 7.1%.

4th and 5th places. LG and Samsung

Algy ("LG") and Samsung ("Samsung") are quite good washing machines from a Korean manufacturer.

They have an affordable price and a huge range of models.

For this, these brands receive fourth and fifth place.

The number of breakdowns of these models is approximately 9%.

6th, 7th, 8th places. Ariston, Indesit, ARDO

In the past, the "Italians" who now assemble Russian factories: Ariston ("Ariston") - 20%, Indesit ("Indesit") - 25%, Ardo ("ARDO") - 32% took from sixth to eighth place.

A huge gap of 11% is justified by the unpredictable Russian assembly, which uses parts that are far from the best quality.

Unfortunately, most devices from these brands stop working 3-4 years after purchase.

But sometimes, if you're lucky, 20-30% of them will last up to 8-9 years of work.

Each of the manufacturers tried to reduce the cost of production, which led to a deterioration in the quality of almost all brands. The graph is listed in descending order.

Not included in line

Candy, VEKO, Rolsen, Retona

Candy ("Candy") did not get into our line at all due to its deteriorating quality of devices from the new line.

But history has not forgotten the strength and complete reliability of early production models.

The internal contents of this brand are practically not appreciated in service centers.

Quite rightly, we ignored Beko (VEKO), Rolsen (Rolsen) and Reton (Retona).

When choosing the best washing machine, do not forget to be interested in the quality and materials from which the tank is made.

Cheap models are more likely to leak, and repairs after the end of the warranty will be too expensive for such cheap washing machines. Therefore, they are much more often disposed of than repaired.

By the way, in this case, sometimes it’s really useful to read customer reviews for faults of a certain nature in the model that attracts you.

If at the moment you are the owner of a cheap washing machine, then do not rush to get upset. It's not yet certain that it will break.

Try to provide the washing machine with proper care, and then there is every chance that it will serve you for many years.
