Automatic washing machines “Eurosoba” and “Evronova” are little known on the Russian market: their manufacturer proceeds from the premise that a good product does not need advertising. It will be useful for owners of small-sized apartments to find out who makes these compact devices that can fit even under the bathroom sink, and to become familiar with their technical characteristics.
The rating of the best machines will clearly show housewives who are interested in rare models of washing machines the preference of the desired brand. For the same purpose, the opinions of people already using Eurosoba (Euronova) are given.

Historical information about the Eurosoba brand
The countries in which the formation and development of technology for the production of small-sized SMAs took place are Austria and Switzerland. The Eudora company began its activities in 1947, laying the foundations for its reputation as a manufacturer of reliable washing machines, which has deservedly earned it the reputation of Austrian quality. Somewhat later, the Soba company was created, distinguished by the production of SMAs with a special - Swiss chic.
Between 1960 and 1990 Cooperation between the two factories arose, and by the beginning of the 21st century the Soba brand became known. was established in 1996 to supply to Russia the small-sized Eumenia SMA, produced by the Austrian plant Eudora. In 1998, the previous name of the car was replaced by a new one - Euronova, and since 2004 the Eudora company merged with its dealer Soba, which determined the second brand - Eurosoba.

Installation of Eurosoba 600
- The washing machine must be installed on a flat surface; if there is a significant slope, it is recommended to use special rubber mats or carry out work to level the surface on which the washing machine is installed.
- The washing machine is a technically complex product in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 924 of November 10, 2011.
- Installation of the washing machine must be carried out by qualified specialists in connection, adjustment and start-up.
The washing machine eurosoba 600 under the sink has very simple controls. It is carried out by three regulators: on/off, program regulator, washing temperature regulator.
Caring for Eurodog 600 is as simple as possible. You just need to clean the tray from time to time from powder deposits and clean the rinse aid channel with a brush.
Technical features of compact machines
A common feature of all SMAs “Eurosoba” and “Evronova” and the main difference from machines of other brands is the size of the case. This circumstance does not in any way limit the number of functions performed by the devices, and in terms of the quality of parts and careful assembly, Austro-Swiss brands are superior to many full-size washing machines.
In addition to the two named models Eurosoba and Euronova, the company produces SMAs of the same series Soba, Eumenia, Babynova. All of them are characterized by the following indicators:
- Compact sizes. With a machine base area of 46x46, the height is 67–69 cm, which allows it to be installed in a combined bathroom under a sink. The drum capacity satisfies the needs of a small family: 3–4 kg of dry items.
- Light weight. The weight of the devices is 36–50 kg, there are models with wheels and handles for ease of movement. In the summer, a compact washing machine can be easily transported to the dacha.
- Sink included. Focusing on installing the machine under the sink, the manufacturer took care of the design of a paired composition of a plumbing fixture and a SMA. To match the design style of the washing machine, the company has launched the production of sinks that harmonize with the appearance of the machines.

Maintainability is another indicator inherent in the Eurosoba. The supply of spare parts for Euronov devices has been established; the most expensive repair costs 6–8 thousand rubles: replacing bearings.

Positive properties and disadvantages of Euro models
The main advantage of Austro-Swiss cars is durability: the service life is on average 14.5 years. This indicator is achieved by using high-quality materials.
For example, the tank and washing drum are made of stainless steel. Other advantages:
- durable coating of the walls and top cover of the case;
- convenient rotary switches of the control panel;
- removable panels of the front of the machine allow you to change colors from white to blue, red, black, silver;
- manual assembly of the device makes it reliable, the guarantee for trouble-free operation is issued by the manufacturer for 2 years;
- The SMA control unit contains a minimum amount of electronics, which makes it impossible for it to fail.
A relatively small selection of Euronov models, as well as high cost, are the main disadvantages of compact cars. And you can only buy them in large cities. The price for Eurosoba is in the range of 40–70 thousand rubles, this narrows the circle of people who want to buy such a model. Many people prefer to have a full-size European-made washing machine for that kind of money.

Description and rating of known modifications
The SMA Eurosoba and Euronova models under consideration are arranged in order from frequently requested brands to rarely purchased devices. All of them are built under the kitchen sink or bathroom sink.
Eurosoba 600
This year's Euronov rating looks like this:
- Eurosoba 600 EU 352. This is the most affordable and easy-to-use machine with five programs, including delicate washing. Drum rotation speed during spinning is 600 rpm, imbalance control, water consumption per cycle is 50 l. It has no protection against leaks. Its cost depends on the configuration, starts from 18 thousand rubles, reaches 35 thousand.

- Model Euronova 351. This is a prototype of the Euronova 600 washing machine, produced more than 20 years ago. It has similar parameters to the already reviewed Eurosoba 600 EU 352: spin 600 rpm, 5 washing programs, protection against leaks and children.
Eurosoba 1100
All machines listed have a maximum capacity of 3 kg of laundry. For the Eurosoba 1100 Sprint Plus Inox model, this figure is higher: up to four kilograms. The loading hatch door can open to the right or left - you need to pay attention to this when purchasing.
Washing programs
The machine has 7 programs, some of them are divided into regular and colored laundry. Washing time takes from 30 to 125 minutes Program number Program description Washing time, min 1 Heavily dirty bed linen (colored) 125 (110) 2 Normally dirty bed linen (colored) 115 (100) 3 Gentle laundry 604 Delicate linen 455 Wool 30Opinions of owners of Eurosoba washing machines
The long service life of the Austro-Swiss SMAs is noted in reviews of the operation of machines of the Eurosoba and Euronova brands. Released back in 1998, they continue to be used flawlessly for their intended purpose. There are many laudatory opinions, which note:
- ease of control of the washing machine: only 3 switches;
- the ability to exclude spin from the cycle;
- low consumption of water and electricity;
- low noise level.
Dissatisfaction with the operation of Euronova machines is also expressed: strong vibrations during spinning (applies to models with a speed of 600). Wheels aggravate the situation - the device can start to move. Opposite opinions are expressed regarding the price: some consider the high fee to be justified by the quality of the wash, others say that the cost of SMA is overpriced.
The machine is worth its money very well, it has been in use for 2 years and still works like new, there haven’t been even the slightest problems with it. In fact, the main thing for me is that it washes perfectly, wrings out clothes almost dry and works reliably.

It was necessary to fit the washing machine into a very small compartment (48 cm wide, 70 cm high) of the built-in kitchen. Since this was the only option, I had to pay a crazy price for a Swiss car with fully mechanical (!! not electronic) control. At the very first spin, due to vibration (although I installed it using a hydraulic level), it almost gouged the side walls of the kitchen cabinets (the side gap is 1 cm on each side from the wall of the machine to the wall of the cabinets) and jumped out of the niche where it was installed (I managed to catch it). I tried washing without spinning, in this mode the machine does not drain the water at the end of the wash (!!!), it must be drained manually through a special hole in the front. Then I tried washing with a spin cycle on the tiled floor in the middle of the room - due to vibration, the factory wheels cyclically moved 2-5 cm left and right during the spin cycle; did not move back and forth. That is, the factory wheels instead of screw supports are not accidental, and the instructions say the truth: for normal operation you need space on the sides. Those. the opening should be at least 52 cm wide. Such an ambush from the Swiss. Then it’s better to buy a super modern Samsung WF1602YQY Eco Bubble machine for the same 19,000 rubles.

I was somewhat surprised by the low rating of the car on this forum. We have Eurosoba 1000. Cool car. We didn’t find another option to install a washing machine in our small-sized two-room apartment, although the price was scary at first. At first, the design was a little annoying, or rather the strange yellowish and rough plastic. Now we’ve gotten used to it. For two years of work, not a single breakdown, although we wash it every day (the child is small). And the capacity, despite the size, is decent: 2 bedding sets. Removes cleanly, even old stains and blood. We use Ariel as a powder. Now we are helping parents buy the same car

It’s a good machine, I bought it for 30 thousand somewhere, I’ve been using it for 2 years. It’s very easy to use, even my mother can figure it out easily, but she’s not very good with technology at all. As for the noise, there is almost none from her, she doesn’t jump around the bathroom, you don’t have to be afraid that she will run away. I do my laundry early in the morning when everyone is still asleep, and late at night when everyone is already asleep. There is an auto-weighing function, which allows you to control the consumption of water and electricity, total savings. It also spins very well, no need to install an additional dryer. Especially for those who have a small apartment (like mine) and the dryer simply won’t fit. In general, this is the most ideal budget option!

An extremely reliable device, the first breakdown (water leakage through the hatch cuff) occurred after 10 years of use, after repair there were no comments. The washing quality is excellent, the spin quality is average, which is understandable - the diameter of the drum is small. I use laundry detergent tablets or liquid detergent, so I had no problems dosing the powder. I also use Calgon due to the high hardness of water in the city. In some cases (poor placement of laundry items) it moves across the floor. The solution is simple - rubber shoes. There is no reason to buy a replacement yet, but if so, I will only buy this one.

Larisa K. Advantages: Compactness, washing quality. Disadvantages: Plastic Comment: All advantages were killed by plastic parts that break with enviable regularity. The loading hatch is a separate matter; it was repaired for the first time (cracks) after a year of use. The second time a year later, now 2 months have passed and it just fell off!! During the last repair, the technician convinced us that it was our own fault and that we were probably overloading the machine. Although the machine is operated extremely carefully, who else but the owners should know this? In general, it’s a complete torment. Finally, I’d like to say something about the company that does the repairs. You can’t wait for the craftsmen, you have to wait weeks, it’s impossible to get through to the company itself. Now, in addition to the hatch, we’ve been waiting for the 3rd month, the panel, it’s also cracked, from the inside. Mysterious factory defect.

All opinions are unanimous that Eurosoba and Euronova machines are reliable and will last a long time. The justification for this is in the reviews: the first models of joint production are still used for their intended purpose today.
