Which brand of washing machine to choose: rating of manufacturers

The purchase of household appliances for washing should be approached with all responsibility. With the right choice, this technique will save not only your time, but also money. Minimal resource consumption, no breakdowns during long-term use, efficient operation and a choice of built-in programs - this is what any buyer expects from a washing machine.

Manufacturers rating

Some brands on the Russian market are well-tested by buyers, others are not entirely well-known, but this does not mean that they are of worse quality. However, only certain brands are in great demand, about which we will tell you in more detail.

1. LG - they are distinguished by a high level of reliability and are the best option for those buyers who put the quality of the product first, and only then its cost.

2. Samsung is a South Korean manufacturer that has proven itself well in the Russian market. Consumers appreciate the large selection of washing machines of this brand, the unique features of the equipment, innovative innovations and the modern appearance of the washing machines.

3. Whirpool - equipment from this American manufacturer is suitable for those who do not want to lag behind global trends. You will appreciate the Whirlpool technique.

4. Bosch - equipment from this brand is of high quality and therefore has a high level of reliability. If you want to purchase high-quality equipment with a large number of washing programs and you are not afraid of an above-average price tag, then you can opt for this brand. It is worth noting that you will receive a longer warranty period for this equipment when compared with similar brands.

5. Miele - suitable for those who want to know which brand of washing machine is better, but are not afraid of the high cost. The price of German equipment from this manufacturer is completely justified, since such a washing machine will serve you for almost a quarter of a century.

6. Hansa is another German manufacturer that produces equipment with a high level of reliability. Such machines operate silently, have a stylish design, and also have a special system that protects parts from rapid wear.

7. Electrolux is a manufacturer of washing machines, in the model range of which you can find both cheaper models of equipment and premium ones. The company monitors the latest developments and actively implements them in the production of household appliances.

8. Zanussi - washing machines of this brand used to be rightfully considered the best. Today the situation has changed a little, since this equipment began to be assembled in Russia, and the build quality has dropped slightly. However, the equipment assembled in Europe is still of decent quality.

There is no clear answer to the question of which brand of washing machine is better. According to experts, the choice should be based not only on cost indicators and external distinctive features.

Furniture for built-in appliances

Refrigerators of inconvenient sizes

The choice of sizes is the easiest. You know the dimensions of your kitchen, you know where the refrigerator will be and how much space it will take up. Therefore, you need to choose based on the following parameters:

Small size: height - 80-140 cm, width - up to 50 cm. Total volume - up to 60 liters. Such models are suitable for a summer house, small apartment, office;
Standard size: height – up to 185 cm, width – up to 60 cm. Total volume – up to 180 liters. Suitable for a family of two or three people;
European standard: height - up to 200 cm, width - up to 80 cm. Total volume - 150–250 liters;
Large size: height - up to 210 cm, width - up to 90 cm. Total volume - up to 850 liters. Designed for large apartments, cottages, offices.

If you choose the wrong refrigerator dimensions, you will be dissatisfied with everything - the color of the body, the quality of freezing, and the operation of the unit. Therefore, it is simply impossible to indicate the most unsuitable model.

The most unclaimed refrigerators with drip defrosting

Condensation in such refrigerators collects on the back wall with the evaporator and turns into ice. When the compressor is turned off, the ice melts, the water enters the external tank through the drain, and evaporates there. This system only works in the refrigerator compartment, and the freezer will need to be defrosted manually. The worst representatives of this functional series:

Bosch brand (≈ 32,000 rubles) – unreliable automation, independent mode switching;
Indesit (≈ 35,000 rubles) - expensive repairs, exorbitant price of the unit, poor assembly;
Whirlpool model (≈ 45,000 rubles) - a rating with average indicators; looking at the price, you can buy it despite all the shortcomings;
The domestic refrigerator Biryusa (≈ 15,000 rubles) has very frequent breakdowns;
Samsung unit (≈ 50,000 rubles): unreliable automation, high noise, small cameras.

The last type of defrosting is manual. Refrigerators with manual defrosting are the most inconvenient to use. You need to take out all the food, turn off the power, wait for complete thawing, and collect water. The less often you do this, the more often breakdowns will occur.

Freezer Hotpoint-Ariston RMUP 100 X reviews

Alexandr ★★★★★ Advantages:

Quiet, almost silent, perhaps the only one of all models of similar silver color, in terms of price-quality ratio for a solid 5+
Disadvantages:
Perhaps there is only one disadvantage, the bottom shelf is very narrow, due to the fact that a compressor is installed at the bottom. More expensive than analogues by 4 thousand for the silver color. On many sites they write that it was made in Italy, this is a lie, Russian assembly!
Comment:
The best silver-colored freezer in the 14 thousand ruble segment as of June 2010.

Alexey Dorofeev ★★★★★ Advantages:

One of the few silver-colored freezers for reasonable money.
Disadvantages:
No thermometer, for example.
But this little thing can either be purchased separately or dispensed with altogether. Comment:
When purchasing a freezer, I encountered a difficulty: the number of drawers and door material were unclear. Different stores said things differently. Basically: “3 drawers, stainless steel door, plastic walls.” But the pictures on the Internet are different, there is an option with 3 drawers and a top shelf (the latter option was more convenient for me). In the end it turned out: 1. There are only two models: 100 XH and 100 SH. Formally, there is only one difference - the color of the door (XH has stainless steel, SH has silver). The number of boxes for the models is the same. There is no 100 X model.2. The number of compartments (3 large drawers or 3 smaller drawers + shelf) depends on the generation. The manufacturer changed it himself and did not warn anyone. The stores don’t know exactly what kind of freezers they have in their warehouses.3. My choice is 100 XH. Having ordered, I saw: 3 drawers + top shelf (even where I bought it, they said something different on the phone); the door is stainless steel, the side walls and even the top are also stainless steel (not painted to look like stainless steel, but the sheathing material itself is metal). For the rest: It works quietly, freezes quickly, the drawers, unlike their brother Indesit, are made of dense and durable plastic , and not from a thin and rattling one (Indesit does not have drawers themselves, there are shelves everywhere, only small doors covering them). There is a super freezing mode - turn the regulator all the way clockwise. In my opinion, some of the tubes are too thin, but the manufacturer knows better. Rear the supports are wheels, the front ones are adjustable, it’s not very convenient to adjust. The door can be hung, but in my opinion it’s not as easy and quick as it seems. I haven’t tried it. It seems like there should be an indication light. But it’s not there. The kit comes with a small white lever, for what it’s not clear, there’s not a word in the instructions.

Freezer Hotpoint-Ariston RMUP 167 X NF H reviews

Tatyana P. ★★★★ Advantages:

The design is original, I like it.
In the minimum mode, the temperature in the chamber is -18C, in the middle position -25C, in the minimum super-freezing mode -30C. Works quietly. The door “sticks” very tightly; if you open it with one hand, the whole chamber moves, but I don’t know whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage, because room air does not pass inside the freezer - this is a plus. The HOTPOINT/ARISTON company gives a service certificate for 5 years for 1600 rub. Disadvantages:
I was surprised by the lack of lighting in the chamber. Or is this the case in all freezers?
The attached instructions are for many similar freezers, except ours. It says: “After you have connected the freezer to the electrical outlet, make sure that the indicator light on the control panel comes on.” But we don’t have it at all. There is an error in the overall dimensions indicated on the website, correct: 167x60x60. Comment:
So far happy with the purchase. The price corresponds to the quality.

Sergey A. ★★ Advantages:

Nice design
Disadvantages:
Overpriced for a domestic manufacturer (Stinol plant) Poor service, difficulties with warranty service despite the presence of sales centers and additional programs.
maintenance Lack of comprehensive, reliable information about the technical characteristics of the product. Comment:
Strange story with this freezer. There is no mention of this model on the website hotpoint-ariston.ru, although this is not surprising - the site resembles a Christmas tree, it is difficult to find what you are looking for there, and instead of contacts there is a photo. The link to the company's website leads to the Indesit website in Italy. It turns out that Ariston is a trademark of Indesit. Well, this is normal. The problem is that on the Indesit website (ours, not the Italian one) postal addresses are indicated as contacts for requesting catalogues, advertising, etc. That is, call and ask what kind of model THIS IS, who makes it and why is it not mentioned on company websites? Maybe this is a trifle, but what if the same story happens with the service? This was exactly the situation with the service, it’s good that I found out about it now. In view of the above shortcomings, it was decided to abandon the purchase of Ariston and buy a 300 liter Saratov freezer (MKSh-300).
