TOP 10 best washing machines under 15,000 rubles according to customer reviews

Updated: 09/30/2021 The possibilities of modern technology, as well as its price, are almost limitless and washing machines are no exception. However, in practice, the most popular functions that are equipped with budget models are sufficient. On average, this is 14–16 programs - for home use, this set is more than enough.

Models from even the same manufacturer can differ significantly; these differences must be studied before purchasing. Below are 6 characteristics that you should pay attention to first:

• Load type.
  Vertical or frontal. If there is not enough space in the room to open the side hatch, you should choose a model with vertical loading. Products with a side hatch are still the most popular, because many of them are compact enough to easily fit into a small apartment.
• Hatch diameter.
  It can be 20-50 cm. The larger it is, the easier it is to load and remove laundry. However, there is also a downside to the coin - the larger the hatch, the more free space is required to open it.
• Capacity.
  Usually ranges from 4 to 8 kg, its choice depends on future loads and the number of people in the family. Budget models are most often designed for 4–6 kg.
• Energy consumption.
  It has a gradation from A (the most economical) to J. Most often, modern products have class A or A+. It is worth considering that the level of energy consumption differs depending on the work performed. For example, for washing there may be class A, for drying C or D.
• Volume of water.
  Finding this out also makes sense. The more economical the device, the less water it uses. However, you should not go to extremes, because if there is too little liquid, washing and rinsing may not be thorough enough.
• Control type.
  Mechanical (adjustment is carried out using buttons and rotary switches) or electronic (self-adjustment is possible thanks to preset programs). Mechanically controlled products are considered more durable and reliable, and if they break down, they are easier to repair. However, electronic ones are simpler and more convenient to use, saving time.

Even taking into account the basic characteristics, choosing the right household appliances is a rather complicated process. We present a rating of washing machines up to 15,000 rubles, which have earned the maximum number of positive reviews and are popular among customers.

Criterias of choice

The washing machine is an appliance with a classic design. There are models with vertical and front loading. Inside the type itself, they differ little from each other, perhaps in color and number of buttons. Therefore, when compiling our rating, we paid least attention to the design of the models, but carefully studied their main characteristics:

• Tank capacity - determines how much dry laundry can be loaded into the washing machine at one time.
• Noise level during different programs and in spin mode. It is important that the operation of the machine does not interfere with the comfortable life of all family members, so it is important to pay attention to this criterion when choosing a model.
• Dimensions - affect how much space the washing machine will take up. You need to choose a washing machine that will look organically in the room, without standing out from the rest of the furniture.
• The number of operating modes and the ability to configure the necessary parameters.
• Method of controlling the washing machine: buttons, sensor or rotary mechanical switches.
• Program parameters: their duration, spin speed.
• Availability of additional functions.
• The cost does not exceed 15 thousand rubles for each model.
