Manufacturer Ratings

The following are the ratings of companies producing washing machines:

By price category and functionality

1. Prestigious class. Leaders: Miele and AEG.
2. Middle class. The best representatives: Candy, Bosch, Electrolux.
3. Budget class: Ardo, Beco, Indesit, Samsung, LG. And the leader is Ariston.

The models do not include domestic models, since they are seriously behind innovative technologies.

At the place of production

According to this criterion, European brands are leaders. Seats are distributed as follows:

1. Germany.
2. Sweden.
3. Italy and France.

According to users, the lowest quality is characterized by "washers" from Turkey.

Also, recently, many Asian and European brands have been assembling in Russia.This significantly reduces the price of their products. Along with this, its quality decreases.

By reliability

The rating is based on data from service centers: models of which brands appear there as rarely as possible:

1. The equipment of this manufacturer has been stable and reliable for 15 years from the date of initial use. And users refuse to purchase it only if it is difficult to understand its electronics. Some problems may occur when the machines are not used properly. The level of contact with repair specialists is up to 3%.
2. Only 5% of failures in the initial years of use.
3. Electrolux. 5-7%.
4. Samsung and LG. 9-10%.
5. Ariston, Indesit, Ardo. 20-30% of failures.
6. Candy, Veko. Over 30%.

Models of Gorenie, Hansa and AEG brands are not included in the reliability category by specialists. Reason: they are almost not represented in the local market sphere. According to consumer reviews, the components of these firms wear out more components. In general, models have been working steadily for many years.

By quality and reliability

Generating ratings according to this criterion - the level of washing machines from different manufacturers is more difficult. The reason lies in factors such as water hardness, quality of detergents, operating conditions, etc. In addition, some users may incorrectly set the program and the washing format. And then they get a poor quality wash.

In this rating, models of different companies are located at the same level. And only 2 positions are presented.

1. Bosch, Ariston, Indesit, LG.
2. Samsung, Candy. Zanussi.

Rating by parameters

It is built on the basis of factors such as the volume of laundry placed, drying speed, spin class and absorption of electricity. The distribution of seats is as follows:

1. Electrolux.
2. LG.
3. Bosch
4. Siemens
5. AEG. Example: 87695-WD.

By price

The rating is based on the models of which brands have good functionality and budget cost:

1. Hansa
2. Indesit
3. Eyelid
4. Indesit

Rating of models with front view

In the category of technology with a frontal type of loading, the leading positions have been held for a long period: Bosch, Indesit, LG.

In the category of models in which the linen is loaded sideways or vertically, the leaders are the same “Bosch”, as well as “Electrolux” and “Zanussi”. As you can see, the list is not long.

Comparison of specific brands

Often people from the entire spectrum of goods stop at two companies and find it difficult to choose a brand from them. There are no fundamental criteria for choosing which company is better; no one knows in the store. Much depends on the future operating conditions of the equipment, your goals and the literacy of handling the equipment. We will analyze the top leading pairs in more detail.

Ariston and Indesit

If you are rushing about when choosing between these brands, then know that their models are made from the same components. Assembly is underway at an enterprise in the Lipetsk region. And “Ariston” and “Indesit” are the components of the huge holding “Indesit Company”.

The characteristics of these machines are identical. The pros and cons of them have already been indicated above. And if you need a quality car at an affordable price, choose both Ariston and Indesit.

Veko or Indesit

According to reviews, Turkish models are worse at work. And the reputation of Indesit is more solid. Therefore, cars of this brand are more often chosen.

Kandy or Indesit

According to reviews, users often choose Indesit: the equipment is easier to repair, parts cost a little. However, many are embarrassed by the Russian assembly of Indesit.

Bosch or Samsung

Many buyers prefer German quality, although Samsung has good electronics and lower prices. In the event of a breakdown, the repair of equipment from both the German and the South Korean representative will hurt the budget. And Korean cars break down more often.

findings

Buying one model for life will not work, because the more expensive it is, the more complicated the repair work, the machines have a lot of problems with this.Only replacement bearings will fly into a penny. Therefore, starting from the rating, I want to say that the most popular ones are chosen more often, which means budget models with cheap consumables in case of repair.
