I can’t even believe that once upon a time all things were washed exclusively by hand. Over time, washing machines appeared. They made my homework a lot easier. Although we had to pour water into them ourselves and rinse things. Today, the housewife does not even need to go to the machine during the entire washing process. Loaded things, set the program - and let him erase. A wide variety of types and manufacturers of washing machines have appeared. Choose at your own discretion. In this article we will talk about Whirlpool washing machines, and you will learn a lot of interesting things for yourself.
The appearance of the Whirlpool washing machine
Whirlpool's first washing machine appeared in 1911. In Europe, this technique appeared in the eighties, at the peak of its glory. At that time they were incredibly expensive, about $150. Agree that in those years it was a lot of money. Therefore, not every family could afford to buy such a luxurious toy. Today Whirlpool washing machines have spread all over Europe. They appeared in Russia in 1995. The cost also remained not affordable for everyone. Today, the Whirlpool machine occupies the middle price range in the Russian and Ukrainian markets. The cost is surprisingly affordable for everyone. The only thing is that sometimes consumers buy equipment not with cash, but on credit. But every family has this technology. Reviews about Whirlpool washing machines are very diverse.
Best models
And now, based on people’s reviews, your attention will be given a list of the most optimal, high-quality and practical washing machines from this manufacturer. And who knows, maybe you will look for a good option for yourself. So:

Choosing a washing machine: horizontal or vertical?
The choice of any technology must be approached carefully. You don’t buy it for a year or two, but you want it to last for a very long time. You also need to choose a washing machine. Today there is a very wide variety of this technology. Reviews of Whirlpool washing machines differ regarding loading. This suggests that people have different tastes. There are two types of washing machines: vertical and horizontal. What is the difference? In vertical machines, things are placed on top. Horizontal - from the front. Let's compare them so that you can decide for yourself which is better.
You cannot place a vertical machine in the kitchen; it is only suitable for the bathroom. It opens from the top, so it cannot be built into furniture. But it is more convenient to put clothes in and take them out. You can't put anything on it.
Horizontal ones are most often installed in the kitchen. It is built into the furniture, and it does not bother anyone.
There is more space in the bathroom, and in the kitchen, in the built-in furniture, the machine is completely invisible.
Do not forget that the machine should stand comfortably, so that in case of a breakdown it can be pulled out and repaired without any problems. Next, we will consider several models of Whirlpool washing machines.
They come with vertical and front loading. They say that the Whirlpool washing machine is convenient. Reviews about it are good. Only some buyers regret that several models have already been discontinued. But they are being replaced by more modern ones of improved quality.
Top models
At the moment, there is only one model that should be considered for purchase - the Whirlpool AWE 1066 washing machine. This is a compact and roomy model with a load capacity of 6 kg. The depth of the device is 60 cm and the width is only 40 cm, so it can be easily placed even in the most compact bathroom.
During washing, the user can add laundry through the main hatch, which is very convenient . It is possible to delay the start up to 12 hours. Price – 19,500 rubles. Read reviews here.
Washing machine model "Whirlpool 2221"
This technique is almost the most popular in the Ukrainian and Russian markets. It perfectly combines price, quality and functionality. This vertical Whirlpool washing machine is convenient. Reviews say that it is more practical to lay laundry on top. You can wash up to 5 kg of items at a time.
The highest number of revolutions per minute is 800, which allows you to squeeze not only cotton, but also synthetics. For more delicate washing, it is possible to set it to 400 rpm.
In appearance it seems very simple, but it contains all the necessary functions.
The machine has three types of cotton programs. It has an Antibacterial Wash function. Programs allow you to select the “Synthetics”, “Cotton” or “Hand Wash” modes. There is even a special program for underwear. If you don't have time to wait, then there is a "Quick Wash" mode.
There is no display on this machine, but with the help of special indicators it reports on the washing process or the machine’s breakdown.
An important factor in it is efficiency. “Reels” 0.85 kW of electricity per hour. The Whirlpool 2221 washing machine has 18 programs. Reviews about it are positive, and there are very few negative ones.
Many consumers say that the machine lasted 10-15 years. Its dimensions without packaging are 90*40*60 cm.
What are the benefits?
In fact, this equipment has a huge number of positive aspects that cannot leave without due attention any consumer who wants to purchase reliable, high-quality and safe equipment for their home. Moreover, the manufacturer has also established a fairly optimal pricing policy.
Among the advantages of Whirlpool washing machines are the following:
- Each manufacturer's model has a wide range of special programs that are designed for high-quality washing and easier operation of the washing device itself. It is worth noting that other companies, at least most of them, provide a wide range of such functions exclusively in expensive models;
- so that you can choose any model that will have either front-loading or vertical loading . The choice is at your discretion and wishes;
- literally any washing machine has unique functions, namely: “quick wash” and “regular wash” . Why unique? Because mostly other companies equip their machines with one of them;
- An important and significant advantage is that most of the models have a small size , thanks to which you can install it even if the bathroom in your room is too small;
- availability of both hand and intensive washing;
- Each model from this manufacturer makes it possible to wash clothes made from any material and at the same time they will remain intact and intact, without losing their shape or color. It can be either Jeans, cotton, wool, or synthetics and other materials;
- Moreover, each model of the company has a presentable and attractive “appearance” . Undoubtedly, this technique will be useful to you not only due to its practicality and functionality, but can also complement any interior of any bathroom
- all models with vertical loading have a unique feature, which is that the device is capable of weighing laundry in automatic mode ;
- One cannot ignore the fact that expensive models are equipped with special protection, both from leaks and from children , which is important. Since this will protect not only your neighbors, but also your kids who are very curious;
- expensive models have a special timer that performs a countdown , and also has a built-in special display;
- washing machines that have the ability to load a washing machine can be placed on any side convenient for you, for the reason that the manufacturer did not equip the device with a kind of hatch;
- the drum is secured using two special bearings;
- washing machines equipped with vertical loading allow, let’s say, “throwing in” laundry even in the washing mode . Unlike those models that have a hatch, since they simply do not have such an opportunity;
- Each washing machine has a special balancing system ;
- this technique has a unique control , which is necessary in order to determine the optimal amount of foam that is formed during washing;
- there is an intensive direction mode , both for the washing itself and for a powerful spin;
- do not doubt that any model you choose is equipped with an energy-consuming mode “A” ;
- due to the fact that the equipment equipped with a hatch has an average depth of fifty centimeters, you can wash five kilograms of clothes in one go ;
- There are models that have an excellent and important function, namely “Easy ironing”, thanks to which after washing your linen will not be very wrinkled;
- An important advantage is that some Whirlpool models have a unique function called “Delayed Start” , that is, you can program the equipment to wash at a particular time convenient for you, even if you are not at home at that moment;
- There is also a “Sixth Sense” function , thanks to which the device can personally control the very weight of the laundry that is being washed.

There are 18 required programs. It “reels” 0.85 kW of energy per hour. The Whirlpool 2322 washing machine does not have a display. The difference between the two models is small.
This is just as comfortable as the previous model, 2221 Whirlpool washing machine. Reviews about it say that it squeezes out perfectly.
Whirlpool vertical machines
TDLR 70220
Free-standing machine with vertical loading, compact dimensions 40x60x90. The best option for small spaces.
Machine characteristics:
- The maximum load of dry laundry for high-quality washing is 7 kg. Another plus is that pillows and blankets can be washed, which is suitable for allergy sufferers and families with small children and animals.
- There is a function for reloading laundry.
- The digital display shows the washing parameters and the process time.
- Quiet operation up to 54 dB.
- It is the motor that determines the weight of dry laundry in the drum and further calculates all program indicators, including eliminating imbalances during washing and spinning.
- Economical energy class A+++. Consumes 0.13 kWh/kg per cycle.
- In terms of washing efficiency, it belongs to A-class.
- Spin efficiency class B.
- Maximum drum rotation speed during spinning is up to 1200 rpm. Noise level up to 76 dB.
- Full-level safety: against hose and housing leaks.
- Protection from the “help” of children.
- Foam level control.
- Automatic washing programs – 14.
- Additional functions include a delayed start of up to 24 hours.

All of the listed characteristics are estimated by the manufacturer at 38 thousand rubles.
Cons according to customer reviews:
- Roller wheels. If you don’t level it right away, the machine will begin to vibrate and “jump.” And only 2 out of 4 legs are allocated for adjustment, which is very inconvenient!
- Irrational location of the powder section. It is on the door and water remains in it. If you don't drain it, it spills into dry laundry.

Customer Reviews
- “I was given a Whirlpool washing machine for my birthday, this was back in 2007, and for the past eight years it has been pleasing me and my loved ones with its “work.” During all this time there were no problems, except for one case when she simply stopped pumping out water. It turned out that the pump had failed, at least that’s what the husband thought after his own “diagnosis”. We bought it and replaced it, but not for long; it was already starting to act up. Again, the husband began to disassemble and got to the pipe itself and discovered an interesting find, namely children's socks! That’s why now I always put such little things in special laundry bags. So it's our negligence, not my machines. It washes excellently, has a large number of different spin cycles (depending on the type of laundry) and other advantages. At least it has never let me down, so I recommend it to everyone”;
- “I had a Whirlpool AWG 681 machine that lasted about ten years. During the purchase, the main emphasis was on vertical loading. The most important thing is that I never regretted my purchase. The “helper” was very good, and it didn’t make much noise, since the most important thing is to install it correctly and on level floors so that it doesn’t “jump.” It is also worth noting that after washing, the linen was perfectly clean, did not wrinkle much, that sometimes it did not even require ironing, and was folded into the closet. But, unfortunately, after so many years it still broke, and the reason for this was the drum mounting flange, which simply fell apart. Naturally, they called a specialist, he examined it and said that it could be done, but it would cost about 5,000-6,000 rubles, so it would be more profitable to buy a new one. So I started looking for a new washing machine and decided to buy from the same manufacturer, but only this time the AWE 6516 model;
- "Yes. Today the market has a large number of cars, but no matter how unfortunate the quality is, to be honest, it’s not particularly good, and the price is rising all the time. We had a machine from this manufacturer and I can’t say anything bad about it, since it served us faithfully for ten years, and there were no significant problems with it. It washed very well, in general, it did its job 100%, as they say. Didn't break, didn't act up. What I liked most about it was its compactness, since it could be placed anywhere without it getting in the way. The only inconvenience was that after about seven years one special container for powder disappeared, so I kept adding powder directly to the drum. There was one more nuance, but it happens with all even the most expensive and unique cars; in general, the heating element flew off. Replaced and like new. Why “there was a machine”? We just gave it to the old people in the village, they are using the path! And I really liked the machine.”

Whirlpool washing machines: reviews from experts
Professionals advise not to start the heating element, as scale formation leads to serious damage.
If there is not enough laundry in the Whirlpool machine, then it is not possible to center the balance of the drum and the washing will be suspended. To prevent this from happening, you need to download a lot of things.
Frequent power outages promise serious damage. There are a lot of different control modules in the machine that can burn out in no time. To avoid some breakdowns, follow a few rules:
- Use water softeners (scale on the heating element or in other places can be avoided).
- Use powder and conditioner from the same brand (do not change them constantly - it is harmful for the washing machine).
- Load the drum full of laundry.
If you were unable to avoid a breakdown, you should not try to repair it yourself. Sometimes it is necessary to carry out diagnostics to find out the cause of the failure. You also risk ruining microcircuits that cost a decent amount. Seek help only from highly qualified specialists.
Connection
In order for the Whirlpool SMA to work correctly and without failures, it must be connected correctly. First, you need to read the operating instructions, in which this process is described step by step, after which you can begin active actions:
- Remove the machine from the box and peel off the film.
- Remove the transport bolts and install plugs in the resulting slots.
- Connect the socket to the machine. It is recommended to connect the device to the mains directly to avoid damage to the elements.
- Prepare the water pipe by cutting a faucet into it. An inlet hose is connected to it.
- Cut a drain hole into the sewer pipe. If this has not been done in advance, for the first time you can run the drain hose into the bathtub or sink.
- Check the tightness of all connections.
- Inspect the drum. It must be empty before the first launch.
- Check the tightness of the drum flaps. They should not open during washing.
During the first wash, laundry is not loaded into the drum. It is intended to evaluate the performance of the device and flush its internal elements from lubricant residues.
