Washing machine: which one to buy

Dear bakers!
My washing machine burned out today. Burned down in the truest sense of the word. An urgent need to decide on a new one. I ask for your help. Briefly describe your washing machine (only front-mounted freestanding ones are of interest).

1. Manufacturer, brand, number of revolutions during spinning.
2. How many years has served (has served), how many breakdowns during this time were, were there any problems with spare parts after the end of the warranty.
3. Are you satisfied with the quality of the wash
4. Is it noisy (during spinning)? Does it "jump" during spinning?
5. Cleaning the fluff filter - "dancing with a tambourine"?

Please help me choose! Thank you!

Well, wow !! Last month my washing machine was on fire .. they called the firemen, got to repair in the bathroom (and thank God only in it, they washed it during the day and were all at home - otherwise, it's scary to think). So, everyone stubbornly tells me that this, in principle, does not happen !! But no ..

[aynat]

aynathow are you on time with your question and I was just looking for where to praise my washing machine

I have a Bosch WAS 24440 / OE, 1200 rpm



she is almost 2 years old. works if not every day, then every other day exactly (bought before giving birth) during this time, not a single breakdown or some kind of trouble, mmm it is with a big drum, max. loading - 8kg. this is a lot, I somehow weighed it, so this is almost 8 sets of linen that much, of course, I never put it into it, but the quality of her washing is just excellent, I wash it with Percil, the linen is white, does not wash, does not turn gray before that There was a Wirlpool, with top loading, so Bosch's washing quality is much higher.

I don’t know if it’s noisy - when spinning, sometimes a little Khrushchevka whistles, a washing machine in the kitchen. if I put a small room to bed in the next room, the noise is practically inaudible when the doors are closed.

I squeeze out almost always at 1200 rpm - we do not have a balcony, we have to speed up drying normally, I did not notice any troubles with my clothes.

when I chose, I really wanted a quick program of 15 minutes. I use it extremely rarely, it's for T-shirts after workouts, rinse, as they say.

and, I also remembered - it has a cool function - you can press the start-pause button, and it will stop and you can report some other thing, otherwise it often happens - I started the wash and found another sock, and at least by hanging here this issue is resolved , it is very comfortable

I'm very happy with my washing machine, she is smart, hard worker and clean

if you have questions - ask

I have exactly the same machine - I am very happy with it

I have a Kaiser, I do not advise taking this.

Don't take Candy: electronics glitches and noisy compared to Zanussi, which burned out due to a power surge. I'm sorry I didn't buy Zanussi.

Girls! Thanks to everyone who responded.
I would like more hear the head of the transport department to hear reviews about LG and Samsung models. Please, answer the owners of these devices!

[HERE]

I have a whirlpool 6th sense, this August she will be 10 years old! During this time there was only one slip, in March of this year,HERE I wrote about it, but it never came to the master, I canceled the call, because after standing for half a day, my "girl" started working again! Until today, no more problems (t-t-t)! When the time comes, I will most likely take the same!

I also remembered - it has a cool function - you can press the start-pause button, and it will stop and you can report some other thing, otherwise it often happens - I started the wash and found another sock, and even though this issue is solved here, this is very comfortably

By the way, if there is no such function, then you can stop any CM. Set to zero, wait for a click, put the item down and start the program again.
I had a Bosch Maxx 3, 1000 rpm (at that time the highest revolutions were) was bought 7 years ago. So far, there have been no problems with her.
It makes a noise when spinning, but how much I don’t know in comparison with others, when the bathroom doors are closed, it is practically inaudible.
When choosing, I was guided by the reliability of the company.

I have LG, 3.5 kg, class A, 4 years old, I use it - on average, once a day (sometimes 3 in a row, then never), more often in summer. The set of bed "euro" fits at a time, but with difficulty, it is easier to divide. rpm 1000 - enough for me, in principle. The quality of washing is quite satisfactory. Sometimes you have to rinse additionally - but this is, rather, a problem with hard water, and not with machines. When I bought it, I had a requirement - to wash at least one T-shirt - it washes and wringes out without problems. fast mode - 35 minutes, rinse without powder and squeeze out - 17 minutes. A well balanced car does not jump. I have modeling brushes, body creams, glasses on it - everything lies, does not fall. It may start to "beat" during the spin cycle, if the linen is knotted and does not unwind, it lies lumpy (sweater, duvet cover). But this is rare. Standing in the bathroom, with the door closed, only the maximum speed of the last spins is a little audible. the bedroom is nearby, and absolutely does not interfere with sleep. I don't know about the filter. but the husband does not swear when cleaning))))

1. Atlant СМА 45У82 45 cm, 800 revolutions.
2. Works 1 year 1 month, there were no breakdowns.
3. Washes well.
4. When spinning, it is not noisy, does not jump. She spreads the linen evenly over the drum, it is never tied in a knot (or lump) about spinning.
5. The filter has not been cleaned yet ...
It works for my mother ... This is, of course, a budget option ... Maybe someone will come in handy.
And our famous rarity: Vyatka is automatic, it has 800 rpm spin.
Serves at least 17 years. It broke several times, the repair was small, the oil seal was changed 3 times, the latch broke from accidentally opening the door. The total amount of repairs is about 1.5 thousand rubles over 17 years.
Erases great. It makes a terrible noise during spinning, even jumps in the bathroom up to 50 cm (champion in standing jumping). He discards everything that stands on it. Filter cleaning at least once a week. Withstood the bullying in the form of hitting the drum with 3 bones from the bra - they pulled them out without disassembling anything, we can say they came out themselves through the holes of the drum. We got there more plastic bags - pulled out of the filter. About the little things in the form of coins, bolts generally keep quiet and do not count. I exploit Vyatka mercilessly. For the last 5 years we wash at least 2-3 times a day, sometimes up to 6 times a day. Here is such a hard-working old woman with us ...

I have a Zanusi ZWS 3102 1000 rev. For the fourth year already, there were no breakdowns I wash once a day, and on weekends I load several washings in a row, I will be completely satisfied with everything in it.

Don't take Candy: electronics glitches and noisy compared to Zanussi, which burned out due to a power surge. I'm sorry I didn't buy Zanussi.

But my Candy makes me happy for more than two years without any complaints! And especially the fact that it has a large door in comparison with other cars - everything fits easily! The noise does not bother me (even the mixer is noisy), it washes well, squeezes out 3 sets of bed linen without problems, and a huge blanket, and one towel, and a jacket that is difficult to center. Nor does it jump. But Samsung from parents often refuses to squeeze out and even when draining water and intermediate spinning, it can “jump” from one digit to another on the display for hours and do nothing.

By the way, if there is no such function, then you can stop any CM. Set to zero, wait for a click, put the item down and start the program again.

Elenka69, yes, this is also an option - I stopped my previous whirlpool like that. which is inconvenient in this version - you have to wait 5 minutes for the lock to open. and if after that you found a second sock ...

and in Boshik - he pressed the button, and immediately clicked - report, please, it's convenient, that you don't have to wait for anything

[Lisss's]

Lisss's, not not 5 minutes. a 2.
I am prudent, when I have such a time-out, I do not stand above the "soul" of the machine, but immediately run and search for "what else to throw."
This is so shared, maybe someone does not know. Quite by accident I found out about such a feature of all SM, the employee suggested. She was in the dark for several years. The last generation of CM did not have such a function, and the manufacturers are silent about this in the instructions.

Lisss * s and where is this button, I have been using it for about 2 years and did not know about this function

[nut]

nut, this is the start button - we press on the extreme right, and the P-pause is displayed on the board, and immediately the door clicks - you can open and report. but this is not at all stages of washing - if a lot of water has already been collected, it may not open - then it simply beeps and does not open, continues the program.

Lisss's, not not 5 minutes. a 2.

and I'm so impatient, it seemed like an eternity to me now, click at least every three seconds

and I'm so impatient, it seemed like an eternity to me now, click at least every three seconds

I have always believed that a delay in opening is protection from children and other unreasonable citizens. But what does BOSCH neglect this protection? Or did I have misconceptions? It would be nice to hear from our specialists.

my Boshik does not allow such liberties. Who forgot to put something, he was late

I have a Zanussi ZWD 5106 for 4 years !!! Not a single scrap !! 1 survived the renovation of the apartment, my husband is a builder, I wash his robe in 2 days and I scroll it myself at least once a day. I am very pleased with it, although I wanted to change it to a 40cm typewriter, but this is because of the convenience, but I put it off all the time, because it erases very well and can be reported and any function can be set separately.

I also have a Whirlpool -6 feeling. In principle, everything seems to be fine, but I don't like this feeling. If you put on little laundry, the washing time will be reduced by an hour. What if the laundry is dirty? You count on one time, and she, a hooligan, cuts it down by her own standards, incomprehensible.
It does not work very loudly. Erases just like everyone else. Before that was with. m. Indesite. I liked her better.

Good day everyone! For 5 years now I have been living with the LG-direct drive SM, which in the sense of a timeless one, by 5 kg. with a silver-plated drum, spinning 1200, biological care and washing for children, boiling, spinning separately, and spinning separately with rinsing, the intellect program (it weighed and decided how much it will wash) for cotton and synthetics. I cannot say that it is very noisy, with the door to the bedroom closed, only the noise of the pump is heard when spinning and draining the water, it does not jump, as its predecessor did, but if the linen is poorly balanced, it can freeze and write a balance error on the display .. then we open everything, we break it up, still does not like low voltage in the network if it is below 220, it can hang for a long time and write, they say, sorry, but I will not press 1200, put 800 or 400 then it will press Cleaning is not a problem, I rarely do it, but myself. I'm happy with the typewriter, especially since I'm chasing her poor and in jackets and curtains Fuh, I seem to have unsubscribed, sorry for the possible pun

[Elenka69]

Elenka69, and where is this button Oh, I do not have. I have Indesite.

I have had LG for 8 years, so far without breakdowns, I wash very often, especially in summer, when the "guest season" comes

I have a direct drive LG F1056LDP. Bought half a year ago. Bosh wanted first. But the price was too much for those models that they wanted ...
Then they saw this ski), it seemed like I liked everything ... but in my head only Bosch was sitting ..
Well, and then we just got to the action. LG was well priced. And we bought it.
And I never regretted pah-pah-pah. just the principle half a year has passed. But she suits me all. Washes well.
The parents have an old lady Gorenje. So it shakes during spinning.
And ours is well worth it, I have all sorts of things on it. Nothing falls. And not noisy.Well, naturally you can hear when water is being poured or poured out. But you can't get away from this.
In general, I am very pleased with the purchase.

I have a SIEMENS SM-machine, made in Germany. She is only 5 years old, but she is a hard worker doing two or three washes a day. I think there are few such machines that would be so mercilessly exploited and they would continue to work as if they just left the store yesterday. And mine is exactly like this and I am very happy with it!

I've been using Whirlpool already ... 13-14 years old, I don't even remember what year I bought it. Then it was tight with SM, they offered Whirlpool a purely American woman, took it without hesitation, for those denyushki it was expensive. smart and helper, not a machine. acquaintances have already changed on the second CM. What I want to say is, when the powder is poured into mine, I turn it on for washing, pour hot water into the container with the powder, while the water is pouring, the powder is washed off and saving electricity.

Indesite 105, took 8 years ago, was very cool, now the middle class
there were no breakdowns, I do not clean the filter often, about once every 1.5 years
happy with washing, not noisy,
and also, the machine rumbles and jumps if it was installed incorrectly
My friend Bosch has been with me for 15 years, she's also happy
just the other day it broke for the second time (in 15 years - ten burned out),
were already going to buy a new one, but they fixed it and that's it

Girls! Thanks to everyone who responded.
I would like more hear the head of the transport department hear reviews about LG and Samsung models. Please, answer the owners of these devices!

I was probably, as always, late. But still I will answer. I have Samsung for about 8 years. There are numbers 1015J on it, in front of which SENSOR COMPACT is written (it is 45 cm deep). I don't know which shoulder to spit over, but we have never encountered the service. And with a problem - once: the machine stopped draining water. I immediately panic. While I was screaming and worried, my husband looked at the instructions, took off the decorative panel below, substituted some kind of flat container, turned something slightly and carefully poured the water in several steps. Then he put his hand in there, pulled out the sock that got there, it was not known how, put the panel in place and said: turn on the car. AND EVERYTHING. The car pours water quite noisily, jumps at times during push-ups, but otherwise. It is difficult for me to judge the quality of the wash. It suits me, there is nothing to compare with - the first machine.

And, the spinning from it is 1000 rpm (max.). At max. I almost don't squeeze the speed, I mainly use 600 rpm.

I have a Brandt WTC 1033 K, quite rare for Russia. Native French assembly.
Vertical loading
-Maximum loading: 5 kg
-Maximum spin speed: 1000 rpm
-Energy class: A
-Washing class: A
-Class of spin: A
-Water consumption per cycle: 48 l
-Tank material: polyplex
-White colour
-Fuzzy Logic Control
- Fluff filter
-Bio-phase
-Wheels to move
-Energy consumption per cycle: 0.95 kWh
-Self fault diagnosis
-Foam control
-Protection against leaks
-Automatic balancing
-Auto cost optimization
-Wash delay timer (up to 19 hours)
-Automatic water level control
-Washing program for delicate fabrics
-Super rinse
-Program to prevent wrinkling of laundry
-Dimensions (HxWxD): 85x40x60 cm
It has been worth 5 years already, it works great, pah-pah. Shakes slightly during spinning. taking into account our floor, when the entire panel in the kitchen is tilted towards the window, but does not go anywhere. Brandt WTC 1033 K has, in addition to the properties listed above, another great program - the program for washing wool. Each type of fabric has its own maximum permissible drum rotation speed during spinning. If for durable cotton fabrics there are no restrictions on this indicator, then high-speed spinning is contraindicated for delicate fibers. Modern machines usually have an electronic control system that will not allow the owner of the washing machine to set a spin at 1000 rpm if a wool program is set. The maximum rotation speed of the drum during spinning is up to 1000 rpm.This indicator is directly related to the spin efficiency class. Each step of the spin class corresponds to 10 grams of residual moisture in the laundry. The Brandt WTC 1033 K washing machine is equipped with a foam control.
Controlling the foam level is a special process in the washing machine. Its essence is that after each rinsing, the water is drained and then the laundry is wrung out. Excess foam is pumped out of the drum using a pump. This increases the efficiency of rinsing and prevents leakage of the washing machine chamber.
The tank material of this washing machine is made of plastic material.
Some information for reference.
Washing machine tanks are made of plastic, metal-plastic or stainless steel. Plastic tanks are cheap to manufacture, lightweight and have good heat and sound insulation properties. As a disadvantage, the tank is quite fragile. Stainless steel tanks are durable, robust, rust and chemical resistant. As a disadvantage, cars with such a tank are quite noisy. The metal-plastic tanks are made of plastic and have a stainless steel back wall. Such tanks have high strength, durability, noiseless operation.

I have a Samsung friend. I don’t know which model. He says that he washes badly (dirty). I really don't understand how it is.
I believe that everything depends on the user of the washing machine. Remember how the laundry was boiled before. Here are some "housewives" load dirty dry laundry into a bowl, pour powder (not even bleach) there and boil for half a day.

I have Ardo depth 39 cm and 5 kg. Has been working great for 11 years.

I have a Samsung friend. I don’t know which model. He says that he washes badly (dirty). I really don't understand how it is.

They explained to me! when we took the first automatic washing machine, we were told that the laundry gets washed and turns gray - that is, wash everything "decent" and white on your hands, like that. Eeeee, and what for me a machine then - for bed only? Linen cannot be washed, it will deteriorate. Sweaters are not allowed, they will sit down and roll. Later it turned out that the people laid black with red, white with yellow and pink, etc. - you can't drive an incomplete car! And the machine is their fault, it washes badly

you can't drive an incomplete car! And the machine is their fault, it washes badly

I don’t know ... I’m 1 kg, I wash even less, and for 11 years my Ardo has been working.

you can't drive an incomplete car!

And they told me exactly the opposite: do not drive the car to capacity, that is, if the max. load 4.5 kg - put no more than 4 kg, and at max. loading it so lumpy and rotates.

And they told me exactly the opposite: do not drive the car to capacity, that is, if the max. load 4.5 kg - put no more than 4 kg

Honestly, they didn't say anything to me when I bought the car. Empirically, I decided for myself that when loading 5 kg, the laundry is better washed no more than 4 kg.

and at max. loading it (laundry) so lumpy and rotates.

Yeah, even the washing powder in places does not dissolve at all.

that's what we are talking about - I don't even put a set of bed euro in my 3.5 kg at a time, otherwise there will be a twisted sausage in a powder strip, but one T-shirt is easy! well, if without options - there is nothing for me to add to it ... don't put a yellow T-shirt with a blue one - so they both will become grayish ...

Girls, we have bought for a long time - Electrolux Time Manager. It turned out spontaneously, we came to the store and looked, looked, there’s no need for anything special. And then we went to another, and there they - with a 30% discount - sales of the old model range, and these models were not on the site at all, so I did not even consider them. A large screen, a bunch of programs (only not very short).I really like that on cotton, on synthetics, even for delicate fabrics, there are programs with a preliminary wash (you can't wash your street socks at one time, but it took 2 pairs a day). I am very pleased with my assistant - quite quiet, does not jump, vibrates quite a bit - in short, I love her and hope that it is mutual

Honestly, they didn't say anything to me when I bought the car. Empirically, I decided for myself that when loaded in 5 kg, laundry is better washed no more than 4 kg.

Yeah, even the washing powder in places does not dissolve at all.

I have never weighed how much I put into a typewriter. I act on the principle - as much as it will fit, that is, a full tank, but naturally not tamped down.))))) And the quality of washing depends on the powder, the powder must dissolve at any load.

Once upon a time, when "automatic machines" first appeared, I weighed the laundry before the first load. I pushed it into a 5 kg machine with great effort, almost with a foot.
Of course, it did not extend, and in places it was generally dry. So the declared weight is the weight that the machine can turn without damage to itself, but does not guarantee a quality wash.

Now I have a 8kg tank, that's where everything fits in at once and a lot. The laundry should only be stretched if it lies fairly loosely and for a full load and / or short wash programs it is better to use liquid detergents.

I also have 8kg, it used to be 5.))))

valushka, in June you wrote that you bought a direct drive LG F1056LDP. Now I have exactly the same choice: I want Bosh, but the prices for the model I have chosen bite. We recommended LG, but I am tormented by doubts, after all, Bosh is a German assembly and seems to be more reliable.
How does your LG work now? Are you happy with her?

[Caramel]

Now I have exactly the same choice: I want Bosh, but the prices for the model I have chosen bite.

Caramel
Oh, how can I understand you, I have the same thing ... I broke my head what to take. Just like you want BOSHIK, but the model that meets all my requirements is almost the most expensive of the entire BOSCH line ...

Krosh, in the morning I already ran to look at the page: what to do? What to do?
Tell me, which manufacturers do you choose between? You are probably looking at 6 kg BOSCH? Do you think 4.5kg is not enough?

Hi) Yes, I am 100 percent happy And I don’t regret at all that I didn’t spend a lot of money on Bosh. I did not expect this from the ski) at first I was skeptical. But the machine was excellent. It works quite quietly. The only thing, when water is collected or drained, is audible, naturally. Nice design. Functions enough, simple controls. In general, I am very pleased with the price and quality. So I advise)

[valushka]

valushka, congratulations on your purchase!
The only thing I want to say is that it is too early to praise the mouse. Now we can only talk about functionality.
It is not for nothing that there is a proverb "They count in autumn".

Hello girls. I will share my impressions. 7 years my LG (3.5 kg, 800 rev.) Served faithfully. Everything, as it seemed to me, suited me in my assistant. When it broke down 3 times within a year, I decided to sell it and buy a new one. Having crossed the Internet, I was categorically tuned in to Electrolux, but when I came to the store, I got a huge discount on BOSCH. Now I understand the difference. In the former car, the synthetic winterizer had to be rinsed out for half a day, or even not rinsed out; the program "Removing stains" is very short (17 minutes) - you cannot wash heavily soiled things.And, in general, the quality of washing is completely different. But this, of course, can be learned by using both. Although, if my first car had not started to "break out", I would never have changed it. Each car can be adapted.

Hello everybody!!! I generally have a complete zero in machines to be honest .... I have such a situation ... I've been using a semiautomatic device all my life ... recently I bought LG F1056LDM 5 KG ... I started using it ... the instructions say everything is absolutely not according to order ... I have such questions for those who know:
1) what should be poured into the compartment in the middle?
2) where to add the Kalgon? in the instructions of Calgone it is written what to pour on the powder itself ... and in the instructions for the typewriter what is needed in the compartment in the middle ...
3) if you suddenly want to use a fabric softener in rinse ... where do you need it? Or is he even needed?
4) what is the difference between the regular wash program and the quick wash program 30? Does this mode generally erase qualitatively?
5) when cleaning the washing machine it is written that you need to use any washing mode using hot water ... well, I put the cotton on quickly ... 1:06 was the washing machine just spinning .... is it right? or what is the best mode to use in such cases? a friend has the same .. says that he does not use it at all ... he just wipes the outside and the bezel inside and other small parts and has been so for 2 years now ... I’ve got something completely confused ...
6) when washing wool and delicate items, I usually used liquid powders ... can I also use them here? and where to fill them? and is it necessary to use calgon while doing this?

enlighten me, ignoramus ... ... I will be glad to any response ... if possible, describe the whole algorithm of work ... I'm afraid to do something wrong ...

1) what should be poured into the compartment in the middle?
2) where to add the Kalgon?
3) if you suddenly want to use a fabric softener in rinse ... where do you need it? Or do you even need it?
4) what is the difference between the regular wash program and the quick wash program 30? Does this mode generally erase qualitatively?
5) when cleaning the washing machine it is written that you need to use any washing mode using hot water ... well, I put the cotton on quickly ... 1:06 was the washing machine just spinning .... is it right? or what is the best mode to use in such cases? a friend has the same .. says that he does not use it at all ... he just wipes the outside and the bezel inside and other small parts and has been so for 2 years now ... I’ve got something completely confused ...
6) when washing wool and delicate items, I usually used liquid powders ... can I also use them here? and where to fill them? and is it necessary to use calgon while doing this?

1) the fabric softener is poured into the second compartment, there is a strip above which you cannot pour.
2) pour the calgone into the first compartment, along with the powder (I don’t pour it because it’s useless, all the powders go with the calgon anyway)
3) Needed if you like your linen to be softer and SMOOTHY
4) On the mode, they quickly wash a small amount (socks in a quick way) and what you just need to refresh. There is a temperature of 30 degrees and everything will quickly chat and be ready (my mom's favorite mode)
5) Better at 90 degrees with citric acid. Full cycle. Then unscrew the plug at the bottom (the lower right corner of the washing machine from the front side) and get the "trash".
6) Yes, pour into the first compartment according to the instructions on the liquid "powder".

And do not forget that the machine is designed for 5 kg of laundry, which CAN be washed only on the "cotton" program and those that are designed specifically for 5 kg (if there are any, I do not have). On all the rest there is much less, especially "delicate" and "fast".

Kamosya, in each machine in its own way. I have 3 compartments.
1- pre-wash, pour in washing powder
2- main wash, pour in powder and bleach (here and Kalgon)
3- rinse, add conditioner.
I don't use Calgon, because it is part of Percil. (I use it)

I absolutely agree about three compartments. But I have the far left for the main wash, the middle one for the "rinses" and the third, the far right for the prewash (it is less than the "far left")
