Review of Indesit washing machines 5 kg

Review of Indesit washing machines 5 kgThe Indesit company offers customers budget household appliances, including automatic washing machines. And if some are scared by the price reduced by 40-50 thousand, then the majority are in favor of cheap “home assistants” that are not inferior in quality and power to expensive models. Especially if we consider washing units that are average in capabilities and capacity. For those who have opted for compact and inexpensive 5 kg Indesit washing machines, we have prepared a review of the best and most proven of them.

Indesit BWUA 51051 L B

The rating opens with a free-standing machine with a front-loading type of laundry - Indesit BWUA 51051 L B. Its main advantage is the presence of “Push & Wash” technology, which allows you to save time on choosing a mode. Using a special button and turbo programming, the system selects the appropriate temperature and spin force, starts the cycle and completely cleans and rinses within 45 minutes.

In their reviews, users note other “advantages” of this model. Dozens of people have tested and recommended 14 different modes, among which crease prevention, washing down and mixed items, and super rinse stand out.

Also mentioned as advantages are the relative noiselessness, efficiency and stability of the unit without jumping and jumping around the room. The compactness of the model with dimensions of 60/35/85 cm (width, depth and height, respectively) is positively assessed. These indicators are due to excellent performance characteristics:

  • energy consumption class – A+;
  • washing efficiency level A, spin efficiency - C;
  • water consumption for a standard cycle is less than 47 liters;
  • spin intensity – about 1000 revolutions with the possibility of cancellation and regulation;
  • panel lock;
  • partial protection against leaks;
  • automatic control of drum balancing and foam formation;
  • delayed start of washing up to 9 hours;
  • the presence of a dispenser for liquid detergents;
  • hatch diameter – 34 cm;
  • automatic conditioning to remove unpleasant odors from fabrics;

It is possible to adjust the temperature.

Despite the impressive production capacity and advanced functionality, there are some drawbacks. Among these, users cite the lack of a wash timer, poor rinsing of powder from the tray, and the unpleasant smell of plastic upon first use. There are isolated complaints about bulkiness and standard design.

Indesit IWSC 5105

“Optimal price-quality ratio” is how most of its owners speak about this washing machine, noting the absence of breakdowns and repairs during long-term and regular use. In addition to durability and reliability, mention is made of a convenient hatch, energy and water savings, as well as a large selection of modes, of which the machine has 16. The most popular programs are for washing silk, jeans and for pre-cleaning.

Another feature of the front-facing model IWSC 5105 is the presence of a removable lid, which allows the machine to be built into a kitchen set or other furniture. Compact dimensions with a depth of 41 cm also simplify use. It would also be useful to automatically adjust the level of water drawn into the drum, control imbalance during intensive rotation of the tank and monitor foam formation. Other performance indicators of this washing machine are also worth paying attention to.

  1. The volume of water consumed per cycle is 43 liters.
  2. The maximum spin speed is 1000 rpm.
  3. Electrical consumption class – A.
  4. Washing efficiency class – A.
  5. Push-up quality class – C.

The housing is partially protected from leaks, but the dashboard is not blocked from accidental pressing or child intervention. There is a timer for delaying washing, as well as the ability to independently adjust the temperature and spin level.

There were also some “cons”. Consumers who managed to get acquainted with IWSC 5105 machines in real life noticed noisy speeds, insufficiently drawn symbols on the control module and the absence of an emergency drain.

It is worth considering that when operating at high temperatures of 80-90 degrees, the unit becomes very hot and has a scary “plastic” smell.

Indesit IWSD 51051

Another front-facing model is IWSD 51051. Its “trick” is support for the bio-enzyme phase, which allows the use of special modern biological detergents that carefully and thoroughly remove dirt. More precisely, they “eat” pollution at the molecular level due to special microorganisms called enzymes. The result is perfectly clean laundry without soap streaks or stubborn stains. The remaining parameters and functions of the model are not inferior to the declared level:

  • low power consumption class A+;
  • high washing efficiency - A;
  • economical water consumption not exceeding 44 liters per cycle;
  • intensive rotation of the drum up to 1000 rpm;
  • selecting the spin speed until canceling it;
  • average safety due to partial protection of the housing, automatic balancing during strong rotation of the tank and control of the level of foam formed;
  • programs – 16 (including mode for silk, sportswear, stain removal, soaking);
  • delayed start up to 24 hours.

If you study customer reviews, the advantages include a convenient large door, a display with a timer, stability, electronic control and a nice design. There are also disadvantages: lack of heating of water during a quick wash and noticeable noise during spinning.

Indesit BTW A5851

Among the popular Indesit washing machines with a load of 5 kg, there are also units with vertical loading. Its main advantage lies in its narrow body, which does not exceed 40 cm in width. This allows you to significantly save space in small rooms without sacrificing spaciousness and quality. An important addition is the ability to reload laundry, which makes washing even more convenient and faster. Let's briefly go through the remaining options, parameters and characteristics.

  1. Electricity consumption class – A.
  2. Washing quality – class A.
  3. The volume of water per cycle is 41 liters.
  4. Spin – up to 800 rpm.
  5. Adjustable spin intensity with complete shutdown.
  6. Number of modes – 12 (including pre-wash and delicate wash).
  7. Noise ranges from 61-73 dB.

Another indisputable “plus” of this model is the increased security of the machine. We are talking about comprehensive protection of the case and electronics from water leaks, the ability to lock the control panel from children, imbalance control and automatic monitoring of the level of foam formed.

They respond mostly positively to the machine, noting its reliability, washing quality, compactness and efficiency. Particularly admirable is the ability to add forgotten things to the drum and adjust the water temperature in free mode. But there are also disadvantages: semi-wet clothes after a weak spin, unremarkable design and detergent remaining in the tray.
