Rating of cheap but reliable washing machines according to buyers. The best narrow washing machines Rating of the best washing machines of the year

Which washing machine is better to buy? You should not choose a washing machine based only on price. Expensive does not mean “good”, and vice versa. Look for your future car among the models trusted manufacturer, who has it in your city good service center .

Which brand of washing machines is better?

The answer to the question which manufacturer of washing machines is better depends on the amount planned for the purchase of equipment.
Company Miele confidently leads the world rankings, these washing machines last a long time, but not everyone can afford its products. Company LG produces many interesting models. Not all LG innovations are equally successful, but perhaps washing machines LG And Bosch Some of the best in the mid-price category.

The Atlant company is distinguished by affordable prices for its products - as well as for services. And repairs of these machines are undertaken at almost any service center.
A similar situation exists for Samsung- moderate cost of repair, good set of functions and washing quality. But the fact that Samsung washing machines are designed for the mass consumer, and their low price, affects the quality of the products of this brand. The metal is thin, the build quality is excellent in some batches and poor in others, etc.
Washing machines AEG And Electrolux are characterized by high quality, and repairs are usually no problem, but their cars are more expensive. Bosch, Siemens have been at the top of the ratings for many years, they are distinguished by good quality and functionality, but repairing washing machines is very expensive; replacing one part can cost almost as much as the device itself.

How to choose a washing machine?

First of all, it is worth determining installation location. And depending on the free space, select the dimensions and type of loading of the washing machine.

  • If you are the owner of a large room, best option - standard size models(60x60x85 cm). Contrary to popular belief, their main trump card is not a large load at all, but better washing quality due to the increased working surface of the drum and maximum stability due to the wide placement on the floor;
  • For more cramped conditions, medium-sized ones are suitable machines 45 cm deep. They have quite a decent load, are not very susceptible to vibration, and wash clothes well. But during installation, you need to plan additional space for opening the hatch door and draining the hoses;
  • More compact options are “narrow” front models 40-42 cm deep, although the interpretation itself is not entirely correct. After all, they are not smaller at all in width. However, the term has long stuck.
  • But we can call it really narrow top loading machines. They are 40 cm wide and 60 cm deep. This option will further save space since the lid opens upward. Such machines are deliberately made heavier to compensate for the vibration that occurs due to the closer arrangement of the components and the drum. Usually the noise level is higher. This must be taken into account;
  • The smallest “super narrow” cars 33-36 cm and low “babies” for installation under the sink. They are characterized by less stability and average washing quality due to the small drum. It makes sense to choose such models in cases where a larger size simply does not fit;
  • If installation is planned in the kitchen under the countertop, you need to evaluate the possibility of connecting communications and make sure that the dimensions of the niche correspond to the dimensions of the washing machine. The latter may be built-in or free-standing, but the second option implies that the top will be completely removable, since many models have a high front panel.

There are many good washing machines on our market now. The main thing when choosing is to correctly determine what exactly do you need. After all, every family considers the most important different functions and parameters of the washing machine (case dimensions, drum capacity, set of washing programs). For some, dimensions are important, while for others, the option of washing sports shoes is indispensable. Use our rating to find your ideal assistant.

The automatic washing machine has long and confidently entered our daily life and occupied almost the most important place in it among other types of household appliances. Almost every owner begins the arrangement of his home with the purchase of a washing unit. And absolutely everyone dreams of its durability, efficiency, impeccable design and high quality.

So, the most reliable washing machine is everyone’s dream. But how can you make this dream come true?

The first thing you need to do to solve this problem is to figure out: which washing machines are the most reliable?
To do this, you will have to analyze the most popular offers in this market segment, customer reviews, take into account your own life experience and the practical experience of specialists, repairmen who service washing machines.

Let's try to understand some aspects of the problem the right choice washing machine.

Manufacturer: comparative rating

The choice of the washing machine manufacturer plays almost the main role for many buyers. And the first thing the buyer pays attention to is what brand of washing machines are presented in front of him.

Information about the manufacturer will help at the initial stage to make some tentative conclusions about the quality of the product, its service life and the complexity of maintenance. And in most cases they will turn out to be correct.

A modern washing machine is a rather complex electronic-mechanical unit, so it is better to trust when choosing it those manufacturers who have already positively proven themselves in the manufacture of electrical appliances and equipment with software.

Russian market

On Russian market Today, brands of washing machines not only from Russia, but also from Germany, Italy, South Korea, America, and Turkey are widely represented.

  • Among the German ones are washing machines SIEMENS, BOSN, AEG. Among the Italian ones are the units ARDO, INDESIT, ZANUSSI.
  • Among the American ones are FRIGIDAIRE and WHIRLPOOL machines.
  • Among the South Korean ones are SAMSUNG and LG models.
  • Among the Turkish ones: VESTEL. Among domestic ones: Vyatka-automatic and EVGO.
  • European companies also managed to gain popularity: REESON, GORENJE, ASKO, ELECTROLUX.

It is very difficult to give a definite answer about which brand of washing machines is better to use. Almost each has pros and cons. And only the buyer can choose: what he is ready to put up with and what he is absolutely not willing to accept. When choosing a model, you should focus on both your needs and material capabilities.

If you have limited funds to purchase an automatic machine within the range of 300-350 dollars, you should opt for budget-level models.

As a budget option, washing machines from ARISTON, SAMSUNG, LG, INDESIT, ARDO, BEKO, CANDY will be quite acceptable. Such models will delight owners with their impeccable work for 4-5 years without any problems.

Their affordable prices are due to the use of cheaper materials for the manufacture of mechanisms, simple software, automated assembly and inexpensive labor.

Products from Korean companies LG and SAMSUNG deserve special attention in this category. These companies conduct permanent job to improve quality and add new capabilities to their models. Few buyers are not attracted by the price of BEKO products. Such units are quite affordable and of good quality.

If you are interested in the most reliable washing machine on a budget of up to $650, you need to focus on companies that invest more money in the production of their models. These companies are BOSN, GORENJE, SIEMENS, ZANUSSI, KAISER, ELECTROLUX, WHIRLPOOL. Their products are equipped with higher quality and durable components, durable and modern software. These machines are different wide range programs, ease of control, better washing quality.

It should be noted that almost every model from these manufacturers has its own highlight, which individualizes them from others.

For example, GORENJE has a shower system for wetting clothes, ELECTROLUX has a voice menu and a control panel.

Washing units from these companies usually last 5-6 years without problems.

If there are no budget restrictions for purchasing a washing machine, then you can safely turn your attention to the expensive models AMANA, MIELE, FRIGIDAIRE, AEG. Their quality has been tested over many years and there is no doubt about it today. These options are most often offered as the most reliable, durable and high-quality. Their production uses manual assembly and the strictest electronic control. The service life of this type of equipment usually exceeds 15-20 years. Such models are characterized high level

sound insulation, protection against leaks, a wide range of programs and versatility. They minimize human participation in the washing process, operate absolutely silently and do not cause any hassle in maintenance.

Dimensions, sizes, types, loading volumes: which ones to choose

The modern market offers a fairly wide selection of small-sized washing machines, including the so-called miniature washing machines. It should be noted that the little ones lose to their larger “competitors” only in the volume of laundry load; in terms of the quality of washing, they are in no way inferior to them. That is why they often become an ideal option for small spaces.

There are two types of loading: vertical and horizontal. The frontal one is more popular among buyers. It allows you to harmoniously place the machine among other interior items and use its upper part as a tabletop or additional shelf. The advantages of top loading include the ability to add laundry or detergent even after the wash has started. To do this, just open the top cover.

Due attention must also be paid to the size of the laundry load. For frequent and large washes, it is better to choose modifications with the largest possible load.

When choosing a reliable washing unit, you should take into account the energy consumption class, spin parameters, noise, and vibration. It is better if these indicators are as close as possible to class A.
