18 Best Reliable Washing Machines

Which brand of washing machine is best to choose?

When choosing household appliances, the main factors of choice are price and quality, as well as the functionality offered. But if you do not decide in advance on a reliable, proven manufacturer, the search for the right device can be long and difficult. When choosing which brand of washing machines is the most reliable, experts identified several companies:

Electrolux is a Swedish company founded in 1919. The line includes equipment of different price ranges with a breakdown rate of only 7.1%. Most experts call Electrolux models “unkillable” due to the introduction of the latest technologies into production.
Bosch is a German brand that today is the world's largest supplier of technologies and services in various fields (industry, automotive, construction technologies, household appliances). In the line of different washing machines, the percentage of breakdowns is only 5%. Every detail inside is expensive, high quality, ensuring a long service life.
Samsung is a major transnational company engaged in the development and supply of electronics, telecommunications, semiconductors, monitors, mobile phones, and household appliances for the home. The brand has patented technologies, for example, the innovative QuickDrive™ drum for delicate washing, the ecobubble™ generator for foaming powder.
Atlant is a Belarusian company founded in 1959. The main difference between the equipment is budget prices, optimal quality, and the introduction of high technologies into production.
Siemens is a German concern that first launched production in 1847. Washing machines are produced today in Berlin and St. Petersburg. The high quality of parts and components ensures a breakdown rate of only 5%. In addition to high technology and innovation, the company creates devices with high energy saving rates.
Gorenje - the company was founded in 1950 in Slovenia. Devices of this brand are famous for their Italian design and long service life. The high price is due to high-quality consumables and other structural parts.
Whirlpool is an American company founded in the States back in 1911. Today, almost every country in Europe has production of this brand. In the assortment you can see more than a dozen lines of washing machines. The main difference is the introduction of 6th Sense technology, which compares the weight of things, powder consumption, volume of water and electricity.
Slavda - this trademark, which appeared in 2004, is the property of the Nova company. The products are characterized by good quality, long service life, and, importantly, affordable prices for the Russian consumer. The main emphasis is on the production of semi-automatic machines.
Indesit is an Italian company founded in 1975. Household appliances from this manufacturer belong to the middle segment in terms of quality and price. Washing machines are stable, quiet, and easy to operate.
Hotpoint-Ariston is another Italian brand created in 1930. As the quality of household appliances increases, the degree of trust in them from experts and buyers increases.
Vestfrost is a brand created in 1963 in Denmark. Since 2008, it began to belong to the Turkish company Vestel. Modern models of washing machines have wide functionality and a long warranty period.
Candy is a whole group of companies of Italian origin, founded in 1945. The main activity is the production of home appliances. The brand has become famous for its decent washing machines; new models are equipped with high-quality components, have compact sizes and average prices.

Maunfeld is a British brand founded in 1998. The main priority of activity is maintaining high quality standards. European quality and company transparency lead to great demand for products.
Eurosoba is a little-known European brand from Switzerland that does not use advertising, which is why its products will be much cheaper than popular brands. The internal parts of washing machines were brought from Germany and Italy; manual assembly guarantees a long period of trouble-free operation for several decades.

Rating of reliable washing machines

They will tell you which washing machines have the most reliable reviews and recommendations from customers, as well as specialists. During the selection of nominees for the rating, important qualitative and functional indicators were taken into account, namely:

Type, size of the device;
Energy class;
Tank volume or water flow;
Number of modes, functions;
Quality of washing, spinning;
Noise level;
Appearance;
Service life, reliability.

The experts also relied on reviews from craftsmen who assessed the frequency of breakdowns of a particular brand. The results revealed the best machines of 2022 with the longest uninterrupted operation.

The best gas stoves

ELECTROLUX EWS 1254 SDU

And here is another, at first glance, quite good washing machine. If we objectively consider numerous customer reviews, we can note that this model provides very good washing quality. Other positive aspects include an excellent A++ energy consumption class, a “smart” electronic control system, and a very affordable price.

But if silence and spiritual comfort are important to you, you still shouldn’t buy this model. One of its most global shortcomings, according to users, is incredible noise and vibration during operation. Moreover, many unhappy owners of this model assure that the level of sound produced by the “washer” does not depend in any way on the evenness of the floor, leveling of the equipment, or any other issues. “Dancing with a tambourine” in this case does not lead to anything. The EWS 1254 SDU keeps rattling and jumping no matter what you do.

Such operating features of the washing machine lead to the fact that it has to be repaired much more often than other models with similar parameters.

The best vertical washing machines

The next category by loading type is models that involve vertical placement of laundry inside the drum. They promote saving space in the room along with extensive functionality. Here you can see both automatic and semi-automatic equipment, innovative models with the functions of spinning, drying, ironing, conditioning, etc. Experts selected the best nominees based on washing quality, efficiency, capacity, modes and programs.

Gorenje WT 62113

This is a popular washing machine with vertical loading of laundry weighing up to 6 kg for one procedure. It is very easy to control due to the digital display of the electronic system, which usually shows the duration of the selected program. In the list of the best characteristics, it is worth noting the highest class of electricity consumption “A”, a maximum spin of 1100 rpm and as many as 18 programs to choose from. For one standard cycle, the equipment will require 48 liters of liquid. There is also a popular option here - easy ironing, thanks to which you can immediately put things on when leaving.

Advantages

A large number of programs;
Sufficient number of revolutions;
Saving water and electricity;
Many additional features;
Leak protection;
Timer.

Flaws

The water supply hose protrudes from the back, the machine does not stand tightly against the wall;
Unfinished display.

Average spin performance makes the machine suitable for home use without unnecessary stress. There is a quick wash function, but in this mode it is advisable to load a minimum number of items.

Whirlpool AWE 1066

One of the top models due to its low price and a sufficient number of options. Among the technical characteristics, it is inferior to the previous nominees in the energy consumption class - “C” and spin class - “C” (the laundry will be 65% wet when it comes out). The operating power reaches 1000 rpm, the user can independently choose the speed. You can delay the start for up to 12 hours. The average cycle uses about 48 liters of water, the maximum load is 6 kg.

Advantages

Inexpensive;
Saving water consumption;
Simple controls;
Small dimensions;
Availability of standard programs.

Flaws

There is no way to set the temperature;
No auto-balancing, no child protection.

This is modern, functional technology at a low price, so you don’t need to expect space capabilities from it. The motor does not have a direct drive, and if things form a lump during the cycle, you will have to straighten them manually. Otherwise, this is a simple and reliable model for an unpretentious owner.

The best storage water heaters

Slavda WS-40 PET

This device has 2 compartments - the first is needed for direct washing, the second for spinning. This is an activator type that requires the direct participation of the owner during the washing cycle. The ergonomic mobile model can be used by students and dormitory residents. Energy consumption class “A”, it ensures energy savings. The maximum power is 1350 rpm, due to such a high indicator, the output items turn out to be almost dry. Loading allows you to place up to 4 kg of laundry, 2 operating programs are offered.

Advantages

Simple controls;
A light weight;
Saving electricity and water;
No need to connect to pipes;
Low price;
You can add laundry to the tank at any time.

Flaws

Small loading;
Most procedures require manual adjustment.

An economical and cheap machine that requires participation in the process. If the user has previously dealt with semi-automatic equipment, this option will suit him. The small height allows you to install Slavda WS-40 PET under the sink and in other suitable places in order to save free space.

What to look for when choosing?

Load Type

Frontal - the hatch is located on the front part and opens in a horizontal plane forward.

Advantages:

Suitable for any budget, there are models from the most inexpensive to luxury ones with advanced functionality.
It is easier to choose the size in width and thickness.
Can be built into kitchen furniture.
The design of the drum and all elements is more reliable.
The hatch cover is transparent, you can control the process.
Less noise level.
Repair and maintenance are much simpler and cheaper.

Flaws:

To swing the door open, you need free space.
To view the drum you need to crouch or bend over.
There is no way to pause the wash and add an item. Some manufacturers have come out of this situation by providing a special window for adding things, but such models are extremely rare on sale.
The weak point is the rubber gasket between the door and the hatch opening, which quickly wears out and leads to leaks.

Vertical - the hatch and all controls are located on top. The lid opens by tilting up.

Advantages:

The compact size and upward opening lid allow you to install the machine in the tightest spaces.
All manipulations with detergent and laundry can be carried out without bending over.
Items can be added or removed while the washing process is running.

Flaws:

The internal structure is more complex, which is why the price of the models is higher and their maintenance is more difficult.
Due to the hinged lid, they cannot be built under the tabletop.

Control type

Mechanical

To set the modes, use rotary levers and buttons on the panel. Usually outdated or budget models are equipped with such a system. Although this type of control is considered outdated from a technical point of view, it is the most reliable. Mechanical switches are as simple as possible, have no weak points, and if they break, they can be fixed simply and inexpensively.

Electronic

The user only has to select the required automatic command using the buttons, and then the washing machine does everything itself, determining the temperature, spin speed and rinse intensity according to the algorithm included in the program. Most often, cars are equipped with switches and buttons, but there are also models with touch controls. Often the performance of these switches is not at the highest level.

Maximum load of laundry

This indicator is also called capacity; buying a machine that is too large is a common purchasing mistake. If the drum is large and is not always loaded to maximum, the increased consumption of water and electricity is not justified. This also negatively affects the machine itself - if the laundry is not fully loaded, it is not distributed correctly throughout the drum, which causes vibrations, and the machine may move from its place during operation. This leads to rapid wear of mechanical parts.

To choose the optimal capacity indicator, you need to focus on the following indicators:

For a family of 1-2 people, a load of 3-4 kg is enough.
3-4 people – 6 kg.
For a large family that does not wash very often, but does a lot of laundry at once, a load of 7 kg is suitable.

If you sometimes need to wash bulky items - soft toys, blankets, pillows or jackets, choose a model that determines the weight of the laundry and adjusts the amount of resources required for it.

Washing, spinning and energy consumption class

The class is determined by the letters of the Latin alphabet from A to G, from the beginning of the alphabet the highest class, the further to the end, the lower it is. Most modern washing machines have a class of at least B, but there are also higher ratings, their price is higher, but it pays off during use - A+, A++, A+++.

The streak class shows the quality of cleaning things. It may seem that this indicator is the most important, but if you understand the issue in more detail, almost all cars have a similar indicator, and even a budget model will show quality class A.

The spin class indicates how dry the laundry will be. In this case, you need to pay attention to the run-up in the readings - minimum and maximum speed. The minimum ones show the machine’s ability to work with delicate fabrics. If the rate is too high, delicate items will have to be wrung out manually.

The machine reaches its maximum spin speed towards the end of the wash, while the cycle lasts at maximum speed for 30 seconds for budget machines and several minutes for more expensive ones, which determines the difference in spin speed for different models with the same performance.

Noise level during washing and spinning

The importance of this parameter depends on the area of the home and the installation location of the machine. With a standard location that is not very close to the living rooms, a noise level of up to 55 dB is suitable. (See also: How to choose a silent washing machine)

Drying function

An optional, but very convenient and useful function that allows you to use your laundry immediately after washing. You don't have to hang your laundry out to dry, saving space in your home. When buying a washing machine with this function, you need to pay attention to several details:

Number of drying programs. Each fabric requires its own specific regime. Universal machines are much more practical.
Maximum volume of loaded laundry. As a rule, this figure is two times lower than the washing volume.
Conventional models simply dry in a standard mode, but there are also those that measure the humidity in the tank and save resources and time. You can even adjust the drying level, so you get not completely dry laundry, but slightly damp laundry, which is better suited for ironing.

Spin speed selection

The ability to select the speed is not included in all washing machines; some models offer only standard programs with a predetermined speed. A useful addition for washing delicate fabrics or unusual items.

Selecting the washing temperature

Temperature affects the quality of washing and safety for fabric; some materials are deformed when in contact with hot water. The machine has standard temperature values set by the program, but some models allow you to change them at your discretion. Basically, older models do not have the ability to select the temperature.

Reloading laundry

You can add your items after the wash has started. This function is mainly found in machines with vertical loading, but a window is provided for additional loading in horizontal designs.

Leak protection

If the machine has such a function, this means that the drainage and water supply are controlled by sensors; if a leak is detected, the water supply stops.

Full. May vary between brands. Often the design is as follows: draining and adding water goes through a special design of double hoses with an electromagnetic valve at the end; if damage is detected on the hose, the water is automatically shut off. The bottom of the machine is sealed and there are also sensors and floats on it, which also shut off the water if they get wet.
Partial. If only the hoses or only the housing are protected from water. You can install partial protection yourself by purchasing special leakage hoses.

Child lock

Locking the control panel with a key combination; to remove the block, you also need to press several buttons at the same time, which will protect the machine from the intervention of a small child. The combination differs for each manufacturer.

Tank material

Users often confuse the drum and the tub: the drum is the part into which dirty laundry is loaded, and it is placed in the tub. The tank is made of stainless steel and plastic; in newer models, plastic is most often used. It reduces noise levels during operation and retains heat better, which saves energy. The durable plastic used can withstand impacts and has been used for 25 years; according to experts, it is an acceptable material in this type of equipment. The drum is always made of stainless steel.

Number of programs

Each brand tries to stand out from its competitors, inventing and introducing new intricate programs into its latest models. There is a pattern - the more expensive the washing machine, the more programs it has. Basically, a few standard ones are enough:

Cotton – used for bed linen and towels.
Synthetics – used for mixed and colored fabrics.
Children's - copes well even with stubborn stains, uses high temperature and the maximum number of rinse cycles.
Delicate or handmade - for delicate fabrics.
Quick wash - accelerated wash cycle in half an hour to simply refresh and rinse not very dirty items.

The Best Washer Dryers

Washing machines, which in addition to cleaning, also dry clothes, have made an innovative breakthrough in the production and sales of household appliances. One such unit can not only remove stains and dirt, remove residual water and moisture, iron fabrics in an easy mode, but also dry them completely. In fact, a person takes off his clothes, places them in such a multifunctional device, after which he takes them out and immediately puts them on.

Candy GVSW40 364TWHC

This is an affordable model with the option of drying clothes; it attracts the attention of potential buyers with both its price and options. Offers 12 modes with different time intervals and cleaning intensity. The load for cleaning and drying should not exceed 6/4 kg, and the maximum speed is 1300 rpm.

LG F-1496AD3

The LG washing machine with dryer differs from the above nominees primarily in its large load limit - up to 8 kg, as well as an increased speed of 1400 rpm (the spin can be adjusted manually on the digital display). Washing and spinning class is “A”, electricity saving class is “B”. The manufacturer offers 13 programs, including drying.

Large capacity;
High speed;
Sound accompaniment;
Timer;
Drying without jamming clothes;
Weighing the laundry before washing and selecting the appropriate mode.

Flaws

Noisy drain pump;
Drying uses hot air, some fabrics may shrink.

At such high speeds, provided that they are installed correctly, the device operates almost silently. After drying for some time, the hatch can be blocked, this is necessary to reduce the temperature. Suitable for a large family where a large number of things regularly require cleaning.

Electrolux EW7WR447W

Another dimensional model, not in size, but in capacity and power, is the Electrolux EW7WR447W. It can hold up to 7 kg of clothes; drying allows you to use 4 kg at a speed of 1400 rpm. Among the 14 declared programs, it is worth noting the high-quality delicate mode, processing of denim fabrics, duvets and other things.

Touch control is performed using a digital display.

Advantages

Drum capacity;

Flaws

Rapid wear of bearings;
Rubber smell when drying.

The noise levels here are minimal, despite the high speeds. A standard cycle will require 92 liters of water.

ZANUSSI ZWI 71201 WA

To begin with, it is worth saying that the cost of this model is not so low, which, in principle, is typical for any built-in equipment. She has enough good qualities:

quiet;
roomy;
has a decent number of revolutions;
not bad in terms of energy consumption and efficiency;
has many different electronically controlled programs.

This last point is worth talking about in more detail. On the one hand, many different modes allow you to select the time and parameters exactly as the user needs. But that's if everything works well. According to the assessments of customers who use not one or two modes, but full functionality, one can notice that the “smart” control unit in this model often fails. No, the automatic “washer” does not break down. She simply begins to wash as she pleases, completely disregarding the set routine.

But even this quality could be tolerated if it were not for the most important drawback - the solid drum. As was clear from previous examples, it cannot be repaired, and even with a banal replacement of bearings, there is only one recipe - to change the drum completely. The cost of such repairs is quite comparable to purchasing new equipment that is more adequate in terms of repairs.

The best built-in washing machines

Paying special attention to interior design, you want to hide as many unnecessary details and little things as possible in order to create a harmonious picture. Therefore, built-in appliances are in special demand; they not only do not clutter up the room, but also save free space. The rating included the best built-in machines that can be installed under the sink or behind the kitchen cabinet door.

Weissgauff WMI 6148D

The most important feature of this device is the innovative technology of the Water Cube Drum, which at maximum speed carefully protects the fabric. In this device, you can independently set the necessary cycle parameters, and most importantly, save them in memory, creating an individual program. The Weissgauff WMI 6148D has the ability to set speeds up to 1400 rpm, a timer is provided to start after the desired time, 14 programs to choose from, placing up to 8 kg of laundry in the drum, economical water consumption of about 50 liters.

Advantages

High protection parameters;
Large weight of laundry and spin speed;
Water saving;
Gentle wash;
Easy installation;
Possibility of creating your own program.

Flaws

Smell of plastic at first;
Noisy work.

Despite the high technical and optional parameters, the price of this model is average. It is worth considering that here you cannot pause the mode and add a few more items to the drum; the washing process is continuous. The tray can cause inconvenience, as it extends quite a bit, making it difficult to transport powder into it.

Maunfeld MBWM.1485W

A stylish built-in appliance with a front-facing type of laundry storage and an immaculate snow-white body. Up to 8 kg of things can be sent inside; a stainless steel drum will provide a cycle with different temperature conditions from 30 to 90 degrees. On average, one procedure will require 63 liters of water. The diameter of the hatch is 30 cm, and here you can also see a small display for controlling 15 programs. The maximum number of revolutions per minute is 1400. At the end of the cycle, things will be slightly ironed; you can delay the wash with a timer and use an additional rinse mode.

Advantages

Excellent washing quality;
Drying;
Easy ironing;
Sufficient capacity;
Ease of control;
Reliable assembly;
Saving electricity and water.

Flaws

Drying is not suitable for all fabrics;
Some programs are unnecessarily long.

If the normal rinse cycle lasts about 15 minutes, then the additional stage can last for an hour. Drying can be aggressive on delicate fabrics, so it may not be used every time. There is an overheating sensor; if it reacts too often to drying, you should show it to a specialist.

Bosch WIW 28540

The Bosch washing machine closes the line of built-in appliances; reviews call it the best washer-dryer. This is a fully built-in model; here you can hang the furniture door on either side. The innovative smart ActiveWater™ system is aimed at saving water consumption, and the Quick 15 mode allows you to clean up to 2 kg of clothes in just 15 minutes. Washing class “A”, and energy consumption “B”, maximum spin speed is 1400 rpm, maximum laundry weight is 6 kg. There is guaranteed protection against leaks and children, a cycle delay of up to 24 hours, a display for indicating programs, and acoustic sound.

Advantages

Wash and dry;
Quiet operation;
Many programs;
Maximum speed and protection;
Easy to use.

Flaws

Dries with very hot steam;
Small objects get stuck between the door and the rubber band.

Controlling the imbalance on the one hand helps to distribute things evenly throughout the drum before spinning; on the other hand, it can refuse to work if there is one large and heavy item inside. Otherwise, the unit can serve faithfully for more than 10 years.

Let's sum it up

Of course, choosing a washing machine is a very important and serious matter. And you need to approach it after thoroughly studying the issue, because it is unlikely that you initially plan to replace the washing machine after just a couple of years of use.

Without a doubt, our ranking of the worst washing machines of 2019 does not pretend to be true. Surely there are happy users of these particular models who, while using their home assistants, have never encountered the above-mentioned shortcomings. And thank God. We wish them to continue to enjoy using the acquired equipment.

However, when choosing expensive household appliances, it is much wiser to rely on the negative experience of others. After all, your own “big shots” in this matter can cost a pretty penny.

The best washing machine under the sink

When there is absolutely no space in the room for household appliances, a built-in washing machine under the sink in the bathroom will be very helpful. There are not many suitable compact models on the market yet, but manufacturers are constantly improving and releasing modern modifications. Having analyzed the available equipment, only one European-made model was included in the rating.

Eurosoba 600

The model with license plate 600 belongs to the category of economy class cars. It is the smallest in size and capacity of the entire model range from the manufacturer.
