7 Asko W4114C.W.P

Laconic, strict design and a huge number of programs are the main features of this expensive premium washing machine. In addition, the manufacturer has developed and implemented a unique Active Drum drum. Due to the special arrangement of the blades and perforations, it provides the most gentle washing and dampens the vibration of the washing machine during the spin cycle. The number of programs is impressive - 22 standard modes plus the possibility of self-programming and saving the selected parameters. The quality is exceptional - the tank is made of solid stainless steel, all components are reliable and durable.

When choosing this washing machine, buyers first of all pay attention to the extensive functionality, which is what they write about in the reviews. Smart model allows you to achieve impeccable quality of washing any, even the most capricious fabrics

The equipment is expensive, but given its reliability, the acquisition will be very profitable.

Users about tumble dry clothes

Reviews about Miele dryers are positive, there are practically no negative emotions. Dissatisfaction concerns the size and price. Here are examples.

About the TDB220 machine: it dries even bedspreads well, it is easy to iron. Problems arose during installation in a column with a washing machine - fasteners had to be purchased separately.

Vadimg. Eagle

Cool and understandable dryer TDD220, regulates the degree of residual moisture. It is bad that it is difficult to install in a small room.

Alexandrag. Moscow

I bought a Mile car on the recommendation of a consultant via the Internet. I do not regret it: the linen constantly hanging on the balcony and in the bathroom has disappeared. Clothes from the dryer are always soft and smell good. The price for pleasure and comfort is high.

Of the inconveniences, they also note the need to shift things from the washing machine to the dryer. For such people, the company has a different line of equipment - devices that combine three functions: washing, drying, ironing.

About capacity

We continue to give advice on choosing a washing machine. The next criterion is capacity. It is measured in kilograms. This parameter is considered one of the most important when choosing household appliances for washing.

Some parameters of the device, its dimensions (width) depend on the capacity. Preference should be given to those models that fit into the allotted space. To do this, the space for the washing machine is measured in advance.

What brand of washing machine is the most reliable? The rating of manufacturers does not depend on the capacity. In practice, preference is given to washing machines with a capacity of about 5-6 kilograms. This is an ideal setting for families with children.

Another caveat: the wider the washing machine, the quieter it works.Narrow models are more prone to vibrations, more often noisy. These features are usually forgotten. And after installing the "washer" it turns out that the device is too loud.

Features of Miele washing machines

The brand is constantly working to improve technical characteristics. Today, washing machines are equipped with a number of innovations that distinguish them from products of other companies. Among the features of appliances from Miele:

1. ProfiEco motor. The company has developed a permanent magnet brushless motor. It consumes less energy and makes the tank spin at high speed. Its high quality ensures long life without maintenance. In addition, the innovative motor maintains silence throughout all stages of washing.
2. Twin Dos. The option carries out automatic dosing of detergents. One of the best dispensing systems for efficient cleaning of both whites and coloreds. You can use both branded gels and products from third-party brands. The device automatically measures the required dose of conditioner and detergent at the optimal time.
3. Cap Dosing. With the help of this development, washing of products made of delicate fabrics is carried out. To gently clean wool or silk from stains, you will need special capsules. They must be placed in the compartment for the air conditioner, the system will automatically activate them at the right time. Miele offers the user a choice of 6 types of capsules for cleaning stains, stubborn stains are removed with a special tool. Three types of air conditioner will refresh your laundry (Aqua, Nature, Cocoon).
4. Comfort Lift. The option is provided with devices with a vertical type of loading, it provides one-click opening.It is enough to use only one button to open the outer and inner doors.
5. Eco Feed Back. The function allows you to monitor the consumption of resources. The system calculates the amount of energy and water that will be spent on the cycle according to the selected program. All information is reflected on the display, after the end of washing, the results are summed up on the resources used.
6. Cell drum. The structure of the inner surface of the tank allows for spinning at high speeds without damaging the fabric. The surface of the drum visually resembles a net or honeycombs, creating a thin water surface between the drum and the linen.
   Things are protected from excessive friction by the resulting film. The walls of the tank are covered with small polished holes, which prevent the occurrence of puffs and spools. This structure prevents small objects from entering the drain pump.
7. The equipment is equipped with a display on which information will be displayed. For ease of use, the brand has made the controls multilingual. It is enough to select the appropriate language in the menu, they are indicated by flags.
8. mobile frame. This development is built into all top-loading washing machines. Retractable rollers are built into the device, which simplifies its movement. Thanks to this, the model can be installed under the tabletop, and if necessary, pull out and put the laundry in the tank. This allows you to save space, using it as efficiently as possible.
9. WiFiConn@ct. The development simplifies the use of devices, as it allows them to be controlled remotely. The system will collect product status data, informing the user through notifications. For example, if detergents are about to run out, a message about this will be sent to the mobile device.
10. The option allows you to add laundry during the washing period. Moreover, the possibility of reloading is preserved, even at the later stages of the cycle. The sunroof can be unlocked with just one click on Start/Add Linen.
11. Connection to the hot water supply system. The manufacturer has designed many models with the ability to connect to hot water. This will reduce energy costs.

Electrolux EWW 51676 SWD

This is a comparatively small premium washer-dryer from a well-known Swedish company. The model boasts not only excellent technical characteristics, but also an attractive appearance.

The machine offers a classic wash with a spin of 1600 rpm, as well as an additional drying mode for wool and cotton. Moreover, there are combined programs that allow you to significantly speed up the entire washing and drying process. It is also worth mentioning the presence of steam modes for processing dry products in order to soften, smooth and even disinfect.

In addition, the premium washer-dryer comes with a Time Manager feature. The latter allows you to control the process in time and adjust the readiness of the laundry for a certain hour.

Model pluses:

• efficient and fast washing;
• drying;
• steam modes;
• attractive appearance;
• "convenient" size.

Minuses:

there are no quick wash programs.

The estimated cost of the model is about 60,000 rubles.

The cost of machines and their functions

Speaking of price, AEG washing machines are cheaper than German Miele. If we compare the “front-ends” for 8 kg of linen, then an AEG machine can be bought for 45-48 thousand rubles, the cost of a similar Mile is about 65,000 rubles.To understand whether to buy AEG or Miele, you need to choose specific models of washing machines and compare them in all respects

It is important to read reviews, find the weaknesses of the first and second machines

So, let's try to compare the Miele WED125WCS and AEG L 6FBG48 S models. If we talk about ergonomic indicators, they are similar. Both machines are equipped with a convenient digital display that shows the remaining washing time, program progress and other indicators.

Both the first and the second washer has a compartment for liquid powder, which can be important for housewives

As for the functional "stuffing", it is also very similar. Both AEG and Mile have all the necessary washing programs in their arsenal: delicate, economical, fast, modes for cleaning jeans, outerwear, wool, silk, etc. The maximum allowable spin speed in both cases is 1400 rpm. The design of the models is similar - they have a snow-white case. The loading hatch has a silver trim. The LED display completes the technique.

! Most AEG and Miele models have the highest energy efficiency class - A +++, which indicates their efficiency.

Both models have automatic loading control. A special sensor measures the weight of the laundry placed in the drum, then the intelligence adjusts the washing parameters, reducing the consumption of water and detergent. So, if you focus only on price and functionality, a point can be given to AEG equipment. The software “stuffing”, a set of additional options and functions, the maximum allowable load weight for the models are identical, while the cost of the Miele machine is noticeably higher.

3 Miele WTF 130 WPM

Good model with horizontal loading and drying laundry by time with cold or warm air. Can be loaded into the wash at the same time up to 7 kg dry laundry, dry - up to 4 kg. Judging by the feedback from users and experts, this model is of impeccable workmanship - a stainless steel tank, cast-iron counterweights, a very reliable door, and an enamelled body surface. The interface is very convenient - touch control, backlit text display. Of the safety features, body protection against leaks, control of the intensity of foam formation, child protection, automatic control of drum balancing are provided. An interesting feature of the model is the internal illumination of the drum.

For high-quality washing of any clothes from a wide variety of fabrics, the manufacturer provides many programs and control options. The maximum speed is 1600 rpm, the spin intensity can be changed at your discretion. As in most models of this brand, a honeycomb drum is used. Of the special programs, there is direct injection, stain removal, and wrinkle prevention. Of the shortcomings, users in the reviews indicate only a large weight (97 kg), but it is due to the high quality of the materials used - cast iron, stainless steel.

The main features of Miele washing machines

Expensive, but high-quality equipment is considered high-tech. It is equipped with many smart systems and options that significantly increase the washing efficiency and comfort of use. Here are just some of the useful features:

• Fuzzi Logic. The washing machine itself evaluates the amount of laundry loaded into the tank for the rational distribution of water and detergent, selects the optimal mode and sets the required washing time.
• Many models can be connected to a computer to download software updates.
• Start delay. Allows you to set a convenient start time for washing. For example, you can set it to turn on at night when electricity is cheaper.
• water control system. Another smart program that provides protection against leaks. It monitors the condition of all seals, internal and external hoses.
• Spin up to 1800 rpm. Not all brands can boast of such indicators. The spin program is designed in such a way that the laundry is completely protected from deformation.

Mile's product range includes vertical and front-facing washing machines with a different set of options and load volumes.

Bosch: quality or disappointment

There is no doubt about the quality of Bosch washing machines. Moreover, both the “economy” models and the most expensive washing machines are equally well assembled. The difference is that cheap equipment can just wash things perfectly, and the higher the price, the more all kinds of “bells and whistles” will be in the machine. So, expensive equipment will not only remove all dirt from linen, but also notify you of the end of the cycle via SMS, automatically determine the optimal dosage of detergent, remove up to 99% of bacteria from fabrics due to active oxygen, etc.

Bosch is worth choosing because of the high wear resistance of components. All main components of the machines are reliable. The drum bearings of Bosch washers are extremely rarely damaged, the electronics almost never “hangs”. This suggests that expensive repairs to users of German cars in the next few years are not exactly threatened.

Of course, this "German" has its drawbacks, which are worth voicing.The downside is the high cost of some components. Many non-standard parts, such as a dust filter cover or a locking mechanism, will have to be ordered from official brand representatives. The parcel will take a long time, and cost accordingly. For collector models, the motor brushes periodically wear out. True, graphite rods are inexpensive, and you can replace them yourself.

Also, modern Bosch washing machines are very demanding on water quality. Therefore, before buying a machine, you will have to take care of a special filter installed in front of the inlet hose of the machine. And this is an additional expense.

If the choice is between automatic washing machines in the low or middle price segment, then you won’t find better Bosch equipment. Both consumers and masters involved in the repair of SMA give this "German" the highest marks.

Manufacturers of washing machines with a high level of reliability

It is not for nothing that the rating of manufacturers of washing machines is headed by premium equipment. "Luxury" models are developed by leading engineers, assembled from unique parts, which is why not all Russians can afford them. But premium washing machines have a large margin of safety and are of impeccable quality. Such a unit will serve "faithfully" not only for the first 3 years, but also in the next 15-20 years, it will not fail and will not fail.

Miele

For the money that Miele models are sold for, you get an almost perfect washing machine that is the epitome of innovative solutions and has unique useful features. Machines of this brand are able to work properly for 15 years or even more.But the price of such equipment is not justifiably high.

Is it worth paying so much for household appliances? Some specialists of service centers agree that this is just a status technique and for this price you can buy several decent washing machines. Moreover, it is still not insured against breakage, and repairs will be expensive. The final choice is yours. Those who have already made it did not regret their decision (the owners leave praising reviews online).

Bosch & Siemens

The Siemens and Bosch models can be considered together as they show the same high quality and use the same components. All decisions in favor of reducing the cost of the production process and reducing costs, manufacturers make at the expense of anything, but not at the expense of the quality of the goods.

Siemens and Bosch washing machines are reliable (both the main components and individual connections, and electronics rarely “buggy”), they are stable in operation, they effectively perform their main function and can boast of additional “chips” (SMS alert, informative display and others). Moreover, these models can be purchased at very affordable prices.

These machines have to be repaired extremely rarely, but the parts are very expensive (experts call their cost "transcendental"). Particularly in the event of a breakdown, parts are rare, for example, a hatch or a drain filter plug. Carbon-graphite brushes do not last long, but they are easy to replace. Quite rarely, specialists have to change drum bearings.

All these statements are true regardless of the country of origin (they are assembled at different factories). Experts see the difference between the two brands only in external differences (in design), in management details, and in functions. But not everything is so clear.

Bosch brand washing machines are more common in the Russian Federation. Unlike Siemens, Bosch washing machines are equipped only with spare parts imported from Germany. At the same time, the assembly process of the unit in another country is minimized. This avoids the reduction of service life.

Store offers:

Siemens brand machines are more popular at home - in Germany, the share of demand is 75%. The fundamental difference between these models and Bosch units in the additional AquaStop system (if necessary, blocks the water supply) and the AquaSensor sensor (reacts to the purity, turbidity of the water), otherwise the functionality of the models is similar.

Store offers:

AEG

The AEG brand belongs to the Electrolux concern, experts note that the connection with the concern is clearly visible when disassembling washing machines. Consumers like AEG's clean-cut design, extra features (more expensive models have a dryer), and quiet operation.

Repair specialists warn: if the dryer fails, a significant amount will have to be spent on repairing the breakdown. But at the same time, they admit that AEG washing machines rarely get into maintenance services.

If material possibilities allow you to purchase a premium washing machine, you should opt for the AEG brand.
