American washing machines

American washing machinesRussian buyers are already accustomed to Chinese household appliances, so many do not know about the availability of American washing machines. In fact, many stores offer to purchase a machine from America, and those who want to acquire a machine from the USA can easily get acquainted with the presented assortment. But is it worth changing one for the other and which model is better to choose? Our article with a brief overview of the most popular and reliable washing machines made by Americans will help you figure this out.

Maytag MAV 3855 AGW

On the Russian market you rarely find machines with a capacity of more than 9 kg, which cannot be said about washing machines from the USA. The devices we are used to are designed for 5-8 kg of laundry, which makes it possible to serve a standard family of 3-4 people. Many American washing machines, on the contrary, can wash over 10 kg of dry laundry in one cycle, and the Maytag MAV 3855 AGW is no exception.

This is a freestanding top-loading model with electronic controls.

True, the volumetric drum influenced the dimensions of the unit, which increased to a width of 69, a depth of 69 and a height of 110 cm. The weight of the machine is also impressive - 62 kg. This machine is also characterized by high water consumption, which reaches 120 liters per standard cycle. As a rule, Russian and Chinese assemblies offer washing machines with a depth of 45-65 cm, a weight of up to 60 kg and a water consumption of 39-50 liters. If you go through the rest of the characteristics, you can see the following values:

  • low spin speed – up to 600 rpm;
  • lack of protection against leaks;
  • control of imbalance and foaming;
  • noise level - about 49 dB.

White-Westinghouse MFW 12CEZKS Maytag MAV 3855 AGW

The machine cannot boast of having many special programs - only the delicate mode, economical wash and super-rinse, which are familiar to Russians. But the Maytag brand has its own features: a self-cleaning drain filter, self-leveling housing legs and an automatic detergent sprayer. The latest features make the washing machine very convenient to use.

White-Westinghouse MFW 12CEZKS

The American-made front White-Westinghouse MFW 12CEZKS will impress the Russian buyer with its non-standard appearance - the presence of a platform that raises the machine to a height of 91 cm. This approach makes loading and unloading things convenient and easy, and also allows you to use the lower compartment for storing household chemicals. The remaining powers and capabilities are as follows:

  • capacity – 11 kg;
  • energy consumption class – A+;
  • washing efficiency level A;
  • spin intensity up to 1100 rpm;
  • 7 programs (washing wool, delicate fabrics, economy, wrinkle prevention, double rinse, pre-mode, stain removal);
  • delayed start up to 14 hours.

In terms of functionality, the machine is practically no different from the automatic machines familiar to Russians. Here you can also vary the spin speed and temperature and monitor the washing process on the digital display. Only the loading volume and unusual appearance “give away” its American roots.

Whirlpool AWOE 9349

Another frontal and free-standing model of American assembly. Offers a capacity of 9 kg with electronic control, digital display and standard dimensions of 60/60/85 cm.It is worth noting that the Whirlpool sizes are most suitable for the average depth of kitchen units and sinks - this will allow you to more aesthetically place the equipment in the existing interior and make it more convenient to use it in everyday life.

Russians will also like the machine due to its excellent efficiency - the energy consumption class is designated as “A++”. In one standard cycle, the machine consumes approximately 0.13 kWh/kg, which is much less than many non-American machines. The average water consumption per cycle does not exceed 64 liters.

Despite a decent spin speed of up to 1000 rpm, the machine belongs to class C, which is unusual for domestic buyers. But you will be pleased with the possibility of varying the strength of the push-up and completely canceling it with the soaking setting. You can also select the water heating temperature.

Whirlpool AWOE 9349

There is no complete protection of the case from leaks and drying, but there is a child lock on the dashboard, control for imbalance and foam formation. There are 14 preset programs, including several standard ones, and most are special ones designed for washing jeans, delicates, sportswear, and heavily soiled fabrics. Additionally, there is an economical and fast mode.

The brand also offers popular functions, for example, a delay timer and Antibacterial technology. The “highlight” will be the unusual design of the hatch door and the small blue font on the dashboard.

Frigidaire MLF 125BZKS

Another “elongated” lower compartment model with a front-loading type of laundry. It features an impressive capacity of 11 kg and an optimal price-quality ratio. It also has an unusual body design: an enlarged door with an asymmetrical rim that widens downward, and an instrument panel with blue inscriptions.You won’t find this design option among the washing machines we are used to.

The following characteristics will especially please the Russian:

  • digital display;
  • intelligent control;
  • energy consumption class A+;
  • spin speed up to 1100 rpm;
  • preventing imbalance and excessive foaming;
  • delayed start up to 14 hours;
  • standard set of modes with 7 programs.

It is worth understanding that the Frigidaire brand, like many American companies, is focused on the production of units for laundry centers. Therefore, it offers impressive capacity, but with low energy costs and increased washing speed.

Now you can buy an American washing machine for your home without much difficulty. The main thing is to take into account that many models offered on the modern market have spaciousness and impressive dimensions that are unusual for Russian consumers.
