8 Bosch

German engineers carefully control the manufacturing processes of household appliances of the Bosch brand and its quality, thanks to which the brand has become popularly loved, and the store shelves are crammed with goods from this manufacturer. This also applies to top-loading washing machines. Here are some of the characteristics that users highlight: optimal loading hatch height, easy operation with a lot of functions, excellent stability and minimum noise level.

Another feature of Bosch brand washing machines is a large number of not only washing modes, but also additional features. For example, control over the level of foam, "easy ironing" or delicate washing without spinning. More expensive models impress with an informative display and an impressive number of indicators. The owners like the low level of energy consumption and the excellent security system. The Bosch manufacturing company is certainly one of the best and deservedly takes its place in the top.

Thoughts of the masters on Bosch

In the understanding of many buyers, Bosch and quality are synonymous words.The German manufacturer does not even try to reduce the quality of products by reducing the price. Cheap washing machines are as reliable as expensive modern machines. Then what's the difference?

The fact is that inexpensive washing machines have the bare minimum of functions. In fact, they can only erase. Expensive household appliances can do many other things, for example, send SMS to their owner about the start or readiness of washing. They have a multifunctional display showing various process parameters and other features. The choice depends on what characteristics of the machine are a priority for you.

It is also worth noting the reliability of the main components, in particular, the drum bearings are rarely changed by craftsmen. Electronic "stuffing" is less likely to suffer from malfunctions than similar mechanisms in other brands of washing machines. However, there are some downsides that should definitely be mentioned.

• Too high cost of parts that go beyond the standard. If a breakdown occurs, spare parts have to wait a long time. And yes, they cost a pretty penny.
• Carbon-graphite brushes. Although they are inexpensive, they will not last long.
• High requirements for water quality. Many Bosch models start to act up if the water is bad. You can solve the problem by installing a special filter in front of the inlet hose, but you will have to pay extra for this.

Buyers of Bosch equipment and specialists give it a well-deserved appreciation

Of course, when choosing a model, you should pay attention to the shortcomings listed above. In addition, recently there have been complaints about washing machines of the St. Petersburg assembly.

Whirlpool AWE6516

If you are looking for an economical washing machine with a wide variety of programs, look no further than the Whirlpool AWE6516. This model is freestanding and has a vertical loading type.

Designed for 5 kg of laundry, which is well suited for a small family. The machine has electronic control, but there is no display, which is a minus, since you will not be able to control the remaining washing time

This model is free-standing, has a vertical loading type. Designed for 5 kg of laundry, which is well suited for a small family. The machine has electronic control, but there is no display, which is a minus, since you will not be able to control the remaining washing time.

Whirlpool AWE6516 is a very energy efficient model, the energy class is A +. The same applies to the quality of washing - class A. With spinning a little worse - class C, so the laundry will be a little damp.

A wide variety of programs will please even the most fastidious housewives: 18 different modes, including washing wool and silk, economical washing, preventing creasing, washing in cold water and much more. In addition, the Whirlpool AWE6516 has a bio-enzymatic washing phase, thanks to which stains from organic contaminants with coloring properties (stains from berries, wine, for example) are washed better.

In addition to all the positives, Whirlpool AWE6516 has good safety features: it has a full Leak proof and child proof.

Features and specifications of Whirlpool washing machines

The company is positioned as an American brand, but most of the production capacity is concentrated in other countries. The greatest trust of buyers is deserved by the copies collected in Slovakia, Italy and Germany.

The Russian consumer has not been familiar with technology for so long: since 1995. In 2009, a plant of the same name was launched on the territory of the Russian Federation, which still produces domestically assembled cars distributed throughout the CIS.

By the middle of the 20th century, the company received its current name, after which it began to develop quite rapidly, distributing its products almost all over the world.

Now the Whirlpool brand offers domestic buyers not only washing machines, but also other large household appliances, including dishwashers and refrigerators.

Equipment of any brand has strengths and negative qualities. This also applies to Whirlpool washing machines.

Their popularity is due to high-tech stuffing and high-quality assembly. There are some nuances in the devices, described in the reviews of real users.

The company offers a wide range of top-loading and front-loading washing machines, the range includes household and professional equipment

The main advantages of technology

Washing equipment attracts with a mass of positive characteristics. The good news is that the manufacturer adheres to a fairly democratic pricing policy.

The cost of most models is affordable for everyone. The exception is products that are close to the category of premium.

Virpul machines are able to cope with any pollution. They carry out multi-stage heating of the chemical components contained in the detergent used. This factor significantly increases its effectiveness.

The main advantages of the equipment include numerous parameters:

1. Presentable appearance and elegant style. Washing machines perform not only direct tasks, but also harmoniously complement the interior of the room.
2. Wide range of programs. Even in budget solutions, there is a lot of software for washing in specific modes and simplifying the operation of the device. In particular, it is a quick, delicate, regular wash, light ironing, etc.
3. Various ways to load laundry. In the assortment you can find models with a convenient loading format - frontal or vertical.
4. Good capacity. Depending on the modification, the products are designed for washing with a laundry volume of 5, 6, 7 kg at a time.
5. Technology "Sixth Sense". After loading, special sensors quickly determine the weight of things, calculate the optimal amount of water, as well as detergents required for the current procedure.
6. Accounting for the specifics of the fabric. Machines carefully and efficiently wash clothes made from different materials, taking into account their characteristics. The device can be trusted with things made of cotton, wool, synthetics, without fear that they will lose their color or shape.

It is not difficult to conduct a dialogue with the equipment: a modern LCD-display shows comprehensive information during operation. Thanks to the unique Touch Control system, it is possible to control the machine with a single touch.

Powder dispenser and filters are coated with Microban antibacterial composition, which prevents the appearance and growth of fungus, bacteria, unpleasant odors

The doors and the control panel are equipped with a locking mechanism that prevents inadvertent changes to stored parameters and the device from stopping.

Almost all equipment is characterized by compact dimensions, which do not limit installation in the required place.

The units operate in power consumption mode "A" and consume the minimum amount of resources.

According to the parameters of economical energy consumption, Whirlpool washing machines were awarded the highest class with maximum A +++ rates.

User-reported flaws

Despite Virpul's leading position in the global household appliances market, customer reviews noted, albeit minor, shortcomings.

Here are the nuances that consumers put emphasis on:

• relatively noisy spin;
• short hoses for water;
• the absence of a sound alert signaling the end of the wash;
• plastic handle on the door.

These shortcomings do not apply to all models. If they are still there, then they do not affect the functionality and serviceability of the equipment. It is easy to get used to and adapt to such inconveniences.

Not all washers of the American company are equipped with a liquid crystal display that allows you to track the washing process and receive information about errors in the operation of the unit

General information about Hayer: the country of origin and the main milestones of development

This brand is a Chinese company, which is among the young, since it was formed only in the 80s of the last century. To be more precise, the production itself was formed much earlier, but then the plant was called the Qingdao Refrigeration Company and was engaged exclusively in the production of this type of equipment. In 1984 (at that time the company was nationalized), the plant was on the verge of complete ruin, since the debt amounted to 1.4 billion yuan, the production itself was in decline. The way out of this situation was the merger of the refrigeration company with the German brand Liebherr. This made it possible to obtain new areas and capacities, which were used to manufacture updated models of refrigerators and expand the range of products.

[show/hide]

It is this period that is considered the official date of the emergence of the Haier corporation, which is currently engaged in the production of a large number of appliances, and not only household ones. The brand's catalogs contain refrigeration and freezing equipment, stoves, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, water heaters, tablets, smartphones and computers.

In translation, the brand name means "sea", which is the best reflection of the assortment that the company offers to its customers.

Currently, products under the brand name are sold in more than 160 countries around the world. Plants for the production of equipment are located not only in China. There are well-established lines in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Jordan, the USA, and Africa. On the territory of the Russian Federation there is one plant that produces brand products, which are based in Naberezhnye Chelny.

The company's engineers are actively engaged in the development of new technologies for their implementation in their products. In total, the company has almost 10 thousand patents and continues to take an active part in the development of international quality standards.

Despite the presence in Russia of its own production, on the shelves of stores there may be products that were assembled elsewhere. The country of origin should be clarified on the spot if there is a principled position on the choice of the assembly region.

Let's take a look at the models in detail.

Comparison of models of washing machines "Whirlpool"

If we compare the models 2221 and 2322, it can be noted that they do not differ very much. The difference in the loading of linen is the same for them, and the same energy is consumed. The spin speed for 2221 is 800 rpm, and for 2322 it is 1000 rpm. The difference in price is about 200 rubles. The first one is cheaper because it is older than the 2322 model.

The difference between washing machines 61212 and 61012. Their depth range is different. 61212 has about 45 cm, and 61012 has about 50 cm. The first machine has a spin of 1200 rpm, and the second has 1000 rpm. The power consumption and the technology used are exactly the same. The cost of the car: 61212 is more expensive than 61012 by 200-300 rubles.

Models 63213 and 7100 have more significant differences than the previous ones. The first machine has the ability to load up to 6 kg of laundry, and the second - up to 7 kg. The 63213 maxes out at 1200 rpm, and the energy consumption is A+++, while the 7100 model is 1000 rpm, and the class is A++. The first model has 18 programs, and the second has 15. Model 7100 is slightly larger in size than 63213. As you can see, the difference between these two machines is big. Prices cannot be compared as the 7100 has been discontinued. She was not in demand by consumers. This is not scary, since the 7100 can be replaced by the 63013 model.It has the same features and technologies. Only load of linen on 6 kg.

A quality model is Whirlpool 63013 (washing machine). Reviews about it are even better than about 7100. Users write that the noise of water intake is less in 63013.

Where Whirlpool machines are made and assembled

The manufacturer of Whirlpool is a company of the same name, which was founded in the US state of Michigan in 1911 (it is logical that the country of origin was originally the United States). Then it was called Upton Machine Company. But merging with Nineteen Hundred Washer Co, in 1929 it changed its name to Whirlpool Corporation.

Since 1950, the Whirlpool brand has been rapidly expanding all over the world, where it absorbed other companies and became more and more recognizable among buyers.

In Europe, the company began working together with Philips Corporation, whose production soon came under the wing of the American brand.

In the CIS countries, Virpul products went on sale in 1995. Plants for the production of equipment are located in 13 countries of the world, including Russia.

The assembly of equipment supplied to the post-Soviet countries depends on the type of product:

• dryers - French assembly;
• automatic washing machines - Slovak assembly.

Since 2017, washing machines have been assembled in Lipetsk. By the way, the first models of washing machines with the FreshCare + system were produced by a Russian factory. What is this system? We will talk about it and other technologies used in Whirlpool machines below.

Quality washing at an affordable price

General description of Whirlpool washing machines

In Russia, cars made in Slovakia are especially popular.The brand is famous for its high build quality, a wide range: built-in, different widths, with drying, with vertical and front loading laundry. All machines undergo multi-stage quality control. The laboratory checks the vibration level, the number of cycles. At the place of manufacture, tightness and electrical safety are checked.

The internal structure of Whirlpool machines is basically no different from other models of washing machines. The entire range of this brand is united by the following properties:

• application of modern technologies;
• high quality washing;
• low power consumption;
• full or partial protection against leaks, against accidental pressing of a button;
• speed up to 1400 rpm.

In the line of machines there are drums with a capacity of up to 9 kg. All models, even the most budget ones, have unique programs:

• ECO cotton 40-60°;
• synthetics 50°;
• delicate wash;
• fast;
• for colored things;
• rinse separately;
• pressing separately.

Additional functions

Among them are:

• "cold wash" allows you to work in any mode without heating the water;
• “easy ironing” - at the end of the wash, the laundry remains slightly damp;
• "stop with water" - this mode is suitable for down jackets, delicate items, shoes.

All machines have an energy efficiency class of A++ or A+++. The largest energy consumption at a maximum volume of 2.5 kWh. The most advanced technologies are used in the development of machines:

• Supreme care protects the structure and color of the fabric;
• Hot finish involves rinsing in cold water, even for delicate fabrics (wool);
• Wave motion plus selects the type of drum rotation depending on the type of fabric;
• Color is a technology for rinsing colored items that can shed.

All models are equipped with a convenient panel with thoughtful navigation. The display is large and bright, slightly tilted, the last settings are saved.

The new models come with the following additional features:

• accelerated washing;
• Bio stain 15° - grease and grease stain removal program;
• hot rinse;
• delayed start or rinse;
• Fresh Care mode - makes the laundry fresh;
• prewash.

There are 3 main qualities for which a Whirlpool washing machine is chosen:

• affordable price;
• quiet operation of the engine;
• versatility, reliability.

Brand pros and cons

Even with a strong desire, a significant number of bad reviews about AEG cannot be found. This means that they are non-systemic. And someone expected something else from a brand whose cars are traditionally included in the top sales in Germany and most other European countries?

In addition, it will be useful for skeptics to know that AEG products are produced only in the European Union - France, Italy.

AEG has very few drawbacks, and one of them is that in the event of a breakdown, problems may arise with finding or waiting for the desired part. Although the absence of the necessary elements in the workshops indicates sufficient reliability of products

But there are still disadvantages - this is not the most affordable cost. As well as the high cost of spare parts and in some cases difficult to find them. The last point is leveled by the fact that the machines of this brand break down rarely and most often in old age.

No. 2 - Bosch

Silver in our ranking of the best manufacturers of washing machines goes to the German brand Bosch. If we talk about reliability, it has no competitors at all.The components here are of the highest quality, so the company's products rarely break. This is also facilitated by a multi-level leak protection system, which is implemented even in inexpensive devices. For many users, the company's washing machines have been functioning properly for over a decade.

Bosch premium solutions deserve special attention. They have good capacity and perfectly remove dirt from fabrics of any kind. True, the cost of such devices is slightly higher than that of competitors. Another point that I would like to note is that, unlike the previous contestant, the Germans have a complete range of models with vertical loading.

Models of washing machines "Whirlpool": how to choose

Choosing a washing machine among such a variety of it is not an easy task. Regardless of the brand, when choosing a washing machine, consider:

• the capacity of the device (at the Virpul company you can find equipment with the maximum allowable volume of loaded laundry - 9 kg);
• dimensions (if you want to save usable space, choose a narrower model);
• type of loading (vertical or frontal - depends only on your preferences);
• type of installation (solo or built-in machine - which is more suitable, you decide);

Also, it would not be out of place to pay attention to the washing classes and energy consumption, the presence of quick washing programs, the number of revolutions of the drum during the spin cycle.
