Rating of washing machines - “through the eyes” of the service center. Choosing a washing machine manufacturer The best washing machines quality rating

Observations and conclusions based on many years of experience of our service center and reviews from customers whom we help daily with equipment repairs.

Let's look at everything in order.

When planning to buy another household appliance, we want our choice to be successful, and the purchased refrigerator, microwave oven or washing machine to please us with consistently high-quality work for many years. When we come to a store with a certain amount of money in our hands, we, first of all, rely on our own accurate eyes and on the sales assistant.

However, we should not forget that our instinct may let us down, because we are not experts in the field. household appliances, and the sales consultant is paid to sell the “right” brands of goods. What to do? – Everything is more than simple – glory to the Great Runet! Here you can find all the most detailed information about each of your favorite brands of washing machines or other equipment. But, colorful pictures and complete technical description each model is, of course, good, however, we should not forget that such statistics will not give a comprehensive answer about the reliability of certain models.

There are so many opinions and they are so different that a logical question arises: “Who to believe?” After all, every opinion is subjective, and besides, we all know very well that in order to promote a not very good brand of washing machine, manufacturers can introduce a lot of positive reviews online, which will confuse a potential buyer, forcing him, in the end, to purchase a low-quality unit .

Why can you trust this information?

A fairly convincing argument is our 15 years of experience, which allows us to confidently draw conclusions that you should only trust service centers specializing in repairs, as well as public opinion, which manifests itself in the best possible way in mass sociological surveys. Over the past years, since the beginning of the appearance of modern washing machines, little has changed in the distribution of positions by brand (everyone has reduced the cost of production, in the end, the overall “picture” has remained the same, only the quality has become worse for everyone).

Our many years of experience, with tens of thousands of repairs performed, allows us to confidently assign manufacturers based on our experience and customer reviews to whom we provide our services. After sufficiently long data processing, we can identify the “most reliable washing machines", where the highest scale will correspond to the best score:

Rating of the most reliable washing machines

How did you get such interesting conclusions? First, let's figure out what “reliability” means for a washing machine. Reliability is a long service life of the unit (including a minimum percentage of breakdowns and failures due to poor quality) with a consistently high quality of washing. Anyone who wants to buy a “faithful assistant” can make a rating of “potential reliability”; to do this, you just need to study specifications specified by the manufacturer. Quality of parts, design features, build quality and be sure not to forget about the price - these are the factors that affect the reliability of the unit. You can take into account the spin class and energy saving, the best is considered to be “A+” and “A”, then “B”, but it is quite difficult to feel this difference (basically, this is a marketing ploy - take for example the old models of washing machines from most manufacturers, how wonderful they are worked and some are still working, but all these designations meant nothing). As for the designation “C” and any others, it’s better not to consider cars with such markings at all.

A separate, but perhaps one of the most important issues for the consumer is price. It is this that influences the possible number of sales. After all, judge for yourself, if all Russians could afford to buy a Miele washing machine, then brands like Indesit or Ardo would have no chance at all. But since our fellow citizens have different standards of living, they can afford to buy washing machines that are not of the same brand. That is why, when compiling our rating, we decided not to rely on the number of sales of a particular brand (since cheap ones sell better), but on the quality of the machine itself, i.e. depends on how realistic it is to work without breakdowns in the first three years after purchase.

Did not participate in our rating washing machines of the Schulthess, Smeg brands and other less common models, as well as manufacturers of expensive professional and reliable equipment, because it is very poorly represented in Russia or is used for “non-domestic” purposes (laundries, large enterprises, etc.).

It was not easy for such luxury (or premium) class equipment as Miele to take a leading position. All parts of the unit are unique, developed by leading engineers and have a large margin of safety. This is one of the reasons why not everyone can afford this equipment, because the significant costs of producing these parts take this brand out of the budget price category. Impeccable German quality can guarantee that this unit will not fail (i.e. require disposal) either in the first three years of operation or in the next fifteen years. There is still a percentage of failures, either related to electronics (rare, but with the first models it was even less common) or due to the fault of the consumer.

Honorable 2nd and 3rd places in our ranking, occupied by German mark BOSCH and SIEMENS. The number of breakdowns in the first years after purchase does not exceed five percent. This is the most optimal choice in terms of price/quality ratio. The Electrolux and Zanussi brands (of the same manufacturer) are literally breathing down the leader’s neck, only two percent behind BOSCH. In this case, we took into account the feedback from our customers. The breakdown rate of this machine is just over seven percent (7.10%), a good and reliable washing machine from the inexpensive category.

The following brands that we have highlighted are LG and Samsung (quite good Korean models at reasonable prices), wide the lineup, big choice. We give these brands 6th and 7th place in our ranking. The number of breakdowns is 8-9%. 8, 9 and 10 places are occupied by “Italians” (currently assembled in Russia): Ariston, Ardo, Indesit - 20, 25 and 23%, respectively. For what reason was the gap between sixth and seventh places more than eleven percent? One can only assume that the assembly of these washing machines is of poor quality, but what can we say about our Russian assembly, so she is not predictable at all. The parts used during assembly do not shine with quality, which is why most units die in the first 3-4 years after purchase, but 20-30 percent may well last up to 8, or even 10 years.

% of service calls in the first 3 years of operation

What can you say about Candy? The quality deteriorated greatly with the release of the new line of models, although the first Italian models worked flawlessly. It can be noted that the internal structure of this brand has never been valued among service centers.

Brandt. Most models work well, but earlier releases were more reliable. We would like to note that some models of BOSCH vertical washing machines are made (i.e., consist of the same parts) identical to Brandt. So you get a Brandt machine with the BOSCH logo.

The breakdown schedule did not include some brands of washing machines, such as AEG, Gorenje, Hansa, Eurosoba (formerly Euronova) - because they are not very common in Russian market and the statistics will not be accurate. Based on feedback from our customers, we can say that these models work flawlessly for many years, but not without exceptions and without forgetting that some parts are subject to wear.

They didn’t even look at brands like BEKO, Rolsen, and we hope no one here wants to read about Retona. There is no desire to even devote time to reviewing these brands of washing machines.

What to pay special attention to

Thus, having studied the washing machine market in Russia, we can conclude that the most successful choice if you have Money will become BOSCH and SIEMENS. The Miele brand washing machine remains uncompetitive.

However, you should not be upset, because the cheaper machine you bought will not necessarily break down, because the main thing is proper care of your purchase, which will guarantee the long service life of the purchased washing machine.

Every year, manufacturers of washing machines are getting closer to the cherished ideal - a washing machine that will completely satisfy the owner. But there is one problem: a program or function that one person needs is completely unnecessary for another.

The top three is opened by the Bosch WLG 24060 washing machine. What are the advantages of this offer? The machine can easily be called the best budget option. Dimensions - 60x40x85 cm, load of laundry up to 5 kg.

A load of laundry up to 8 kg is suitable for medium and large families. The spin speed of 1600 rpm will keep your laundry semi-dry before drying.

• Among the Turkish ones: VESTEL. Among domestic ones: Vyatka-automatic and EVGO.
• European companies also managed to gain popularity: REESON, GORENJE, ASKO, ELECTROLUX.

It is very difficult to give a definite answer about which brand of washing machines is better to use. Almost each has pros and cons. And only the buyer can choose: what he is ready to put up with and what he is absolutely not willing to accept. When choosing a model, you should focus on both your needs and material capabilities.

If you have limited funds to purchase an automatic machine within the range of 300-350 dollars, you should opt for budget-level models.

As a budget option, washing machines from ARISTON, SAMSUNG, LG, INDESIT, ARDO, BEKO, CANDY will be quite acceptable. Such models will delight owners with their impeccable work for 4-5 years without any problems.

Their reasonable prices are due to the use of cheaper materials for the manufacture of mechanisms, simple software, automated assembly and inexpensive labor.

Such machines are distinguished by a wide range of programs, ease of operation, best quality washing.

It should be noted that almost every model from these manufacturers has its own highlight, which individualizes them from others. For example, GORENJE has a shower system for wetting clothes, ELECTROLUX has a voice menu and a control panel.

Washing units from these companies usually last 5-6 years without problems.

If there are no budget restrictions for purchasing a washing machine, then you can safely turn your attention to the expensive models AMANA, MIELE, FRIGIDAIRE, AEG. Their quality has been tested over many years and there is no doubt about it today. These options are most often offered as the most reliable, durable and high-quality.

Such models are characterized high level sound insulation, protection against leaks, a wide range of programs and versatility. They minimize human participation in the washing process, operate absolutely silently and do not cause any hassle in maintenance.

Dimensions, sizes, types, loading volumes: which ones to choose

It should be remembered that only owners of large areas can afford large washing units. Otherwise, when choosing, you should clearly take into account the available space for the washing machine.

The modern market offers enough wide choose small-sized washing machines, including the so-called baby machines. It should be noted that the little ones lose to their big “competitors” only in the volume of laundry load; in terms of the quality of washing, they are in no way inferior to them. That is why they often become an ideal option for small spaces.

There are two types of loading: vertical and horizontal. The frontal one is more popular among buyers. It allows you to harmoniously place the machine among other interior items and use its upper part as a tabletop or additional shelf. The advantages of top loading include the ability to add laundry or detergent even after the wash has started. To do this, just open the top cover.

Due attention must also be paid to the size of the laundry load. For frequent and large washes, it is better to choose modifications with the largest possible load.

When choosing a reliable washing unit, you should take into account the energy consumption class, spin parameters, noise, and vibration. It is better if these indicators are as close as possible to class A.

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -345261-6", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-345261-6", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

A washing machine is no longer a luxury. Manufacturers compete on the quality and reliability of their products. The buyer selects the unit according to the set of necessary functions, volume, and method of loading laundry. Parameters such as spin efficiency class, energy efficiency, and durability of the device are taken into account.

It wrings out in such a way that a machine with drying is not needed.
