5 worst washing machines that you should not take

Today, going to a hardware store is often a journey through a minefield. The choice of models and manufacturers is so diverse, and the arguments of sales managers are so eloquent that the likelihood of buying a "pig in a poke" is incredibly high. To save you from rash decisions and useless purchases, we present to your attention a rating of the worst washing machines year according to buyers and service center specialists. Only those washing machines that received the most negative reviews and have a low rating were included in the top 5 worst.

Electrolux EWT 0862 TDW

This home washerwoman makes a very ambiguous impression. On the one hand, it is quite inexpensive and has quite decent characteristics:

• as much as 6 kg of loading, which is very good for a family of 4 people;
• a very good energy class A +, which saves a certain amount of the budget;
• full spin at 1,000 rpm;
• list of programs and functions, sufficient for high-quality washing of almost any item in the house.

But on the other hand, practice shows that it has much more negative functions that you will never be told about in the store.

First of all, this model, as well as many other "washing machines" from the manufacturer Indesit, rinses things out catastrophically. During the spin, the machine “rides a goat” and makes very loud noises. Although, in fairness it should be said that such an incident often happens with many washing machines with a vertical load. Therefore, when purchasing such a model, you should be ready for this.

Among other things, Electrolux EWT 0862 TDW has "exclusive" features that are unique to it:

1. Poor connection of the shtiva with the axis of the drum, as a result of which the fastening of the shtiva did not last even a year of operation, while the teeth on the axis are also damaged.
2. Water often remains in the drum and dispenser.
3. Not completely rinsing detergents.
4. The control buttons are poorly connected and require multiple pressing.

Hotpoint-Ariston WMSD 7103 B

People who have been using original Ariston machines for many years, acquiring new equipment of the same brand, often fall into trouble. The fact is that Hotpoint-Ariston equipment supplied to domestic stores has long had very little in common with Italy.

Reliability and build level of domestic “Aristons”, unfortunately, leave much to be desired. Of the positive qualities of this technique, one can perhaps only note its design. It looks like a spaceship, very original. And also positive reviews are caused by a large loading door and a variety of different functions.

Unfortunately, this is where the excitement ends. If you are going to use the washing machine for a long time and plan, if necessary, to provide budgetary repairs on your own, then Hotpoint-Ariston WMSD 7103 B is the most unfortunate choice. The fact is that the vast majority of washing machines of this brand have a non-separable drum. This is fraught with the fact that even with an elementary breakdown in the form of crumbled bearings, you will have to change them along with the tank and drum. The cost of such repairs can be more than half the price of a new "washerwoman". So it is worth thinking carefully before buying.

Minuses:

• Long modes of washing for 3-4 hours. In quick wash, nothing washes at all.
• It erases very loudly, whistles, thunders just horror.
• Hangs up. About every third time washing machine freezes at the stage of water collection.

ELECTROLUX EWS 1254 SDU

And here is another, at first glance, pretty good washing machine. If we objectively consider the numerous customer reviews, then it can be noted that this model provides a very good quality of washing. Among other positive aspects, one can note an excellent energy consumption class A ++, a "smart" electronic control system, and a completely democratic cost.

But if silence and peace of mind are important to you, you shouldn't buy this model. One of its most global shortcomings, according to users, is the incredible noise and vibration during operation. Moreover, many unhappy owners of this model assure that the level of sound emitted by the "washing machine" does not in any way depend on the evenness of the floor, the level of equipment, or any other points. "Dancing with a tambourine" in this case does not lead to anything. The EWS 1254 SDU continues to rattle and bounce no matter what you do.

Such features of the operation of the washing machine lead to the fact that it has to be repaired much more often than other models with similar parameters.

GORENJE W98Z25I

Compared to previous models, this home assistant is virtually silent. In addition, judging by the set of functions and the cost of the washing machine, one can quite imagine a super-class unit. But with constant use it can get frustrated very quickly. Moreover, it is most often connected not with the quality of the machine itself, but with the work of Gorenje service services, which are often simply impossible to find. If you are still lucky enough to find an address where they will undertake to repair your "washerwoman" under warranty, be prepared for the unprofessionalism of the staff, the surprisingly expensive cost of seemingly penny spare parts and other surprises.

If we talk about the specific shortcomings of this particular model, then we can highlight the following:

• frequent breakdowns immediately after the end of the warranty period;
• weak bearings;
• flimsy plastic of the boot door key;
• not always high-quality spinning of linen;
• too "smart" balancing system, which has been looking for the right arrangement of things in the drum for a long time;

ZANUSSI ZWI 71201 WA

To begin with, it should be said that the cost of this model is not so low, which, in principle, is typical for any built-in technology. She has enough good qualities:

• quiet;
• roomy;
• has a decent number of revolutions;
• not bad in terms of energy consumption and efficiency;
• has many different electronically controlled programs.

This last point is worth talking in more detail. On the one hand, many different modes allow you to choose the time and parameters exactly as the user needs. But that's if everything works well. According to the customers who use not one or two modes, but full functionality, it can be seen that the “smart” control unit in this model often fails. No, the automatic "washerwoman" does not break. She just starts to wash as she pleases, completely not observing the given regime.

But even this quality could be reconciled, if not for the main drawback - a solid drum.As it was clear from previous examples, it cannot be repaired, and even with a banal replacement of bearings, there is only one recipe - to change the drum completely. The cost of such a repair is quite comparable to the purchase of a new, more adequate equipment in terms of repair.

Let's sum up

Of course, choosing a washing machine is a very important and serious matter. And you need to approach it by comprehensively studying the issue, because you are unlikely to initially plan to replace the washing machine in just a couple of years of use.

Without a doubt, our ranking of the worst washing machines years does not pretend to be true. Surely there will be happy users of these particular models who, in the process of using their home assistants, have never encountered the above disadvantages. And thank God. We wish them to continue using the acquired equipment with pleasure.

However, when choosing expensive household appliances, it is much wiser to rely on someone else's negative experience. After all, your own "bumps" in this matter can cost a pretty penny.
