Which washing machines are more reliable?
The automatic washing machine has long and confidently entered our daily life and has occupied almost the most important place among other types of household appliances in it. Almost every owner begins the arrangement of his house with the purchase of a washing unit. And absolutely everyone dreams of its durability, profitability, impeccable design and high quality.
So, the most reliable washing machine is everyone’s dream. But how to make this dream come true?
The first thing to do to solve this problem is to figure out: which washing machines are the most reliable?
To do this, you will have to analyze the most popular offers of this market segment, customer reviews, take into account your own life experience and practical experience of specialists, repairmen serving washing machines.
Let's try to understand some aspects of the problem of choosing the right washing machine.
Manufacturer: comparative rating
The choice of the manufacturer of the washing machine plays almost the main role for many buyers. And the first thing the buyer pays attention to is which company has the washing machines presented to him.
Information about the manufacturer will help at the initial stage to draw some tentative conclusions about the quality of the product, its life and complexity of maintenance. And in most cases they will be correct.
A modern washing machine is a rather complicated electronic-mechanical unit, therefore it is better to trust those manufacturers who have already positively established themselves in the manufacture of electrical appliances and software equipment when choosing it.
Russian market
In the Russian market today, brands of washing machines not only from Russia, but also from German, Italian, South Korean, American, Turkish, are widely represented.
- Among the German are washing machines SIEMENS, BOSN, AEG. Among the Italian ones are the units ARDO, INDESIT, ZANUSSI.
- Among the US - FRIGIDAIRE, WHIRLPOOL machines.
- Among the South Korean models are SAMSUNG, LG.
- Among Turkish: VESTEL. Among domestic: Vyatka-machine and EVGO.
- Managed to gain popularity and European companies: REESON, GORENJE, ASKO, ELECTROLUX.
It is very difficult to give an unequivocal answer to which company washing machines are in operation. Almost everyone has pros and cons. And only the buyer to choose: what he is ready to put up with, and with what absolutely not. When choosing a model, one should be guided both by one’s own needs and material possibilities.
Given the limited funds for the purchase of an automatic machine within 300-350 dollars, you should opt for budget-level models.
As a budget option, washing machines from ARISTON, SAMSUNG, LG, INDESIT, ARDO, BEKO, CANDY will become quite acceptable. Such models without problems for 4-5 years will please the owners with their impeccable work.
The democratic nature of their prices is due to the use of cheaper materials for the manufacture of mechanisms, uncomplicated software, automated assembly and inexpensive labor.
Products of Korean companies LG and SAMSUNG deserve special attention in this category. These companies are constantly working to improve quality and add new features to their models. Few buyers are not attracted by the price of BEKO products. Such units are quite affordable and have good quality.
If you are interested in the most reliable washing machine with a budget of up to $ 650, you need to stop attention at companies that invest more in expensive models. These are companies - BOSN, GORENJE, SIEMENS, ZANUSSI, KAISER, ELECTROLUX, WHIRLPOOL. Their products are equipped with better and more durable components, durable and modern software.Such machines are distinguished by a wide range of programs, ease of control, and the best quality of washing.
It should be noted that almost every model of these manufacturers has its own highlight, which individualizes them among others. For example, GORENJE has a shower system for wetting linen, while ELECTROLUX has a voice menu and a control panel.
The washing units of these companies usually serve without problems for 5-6 years.
If there are no budget restrictions for the purchase of a washing machine, then you can safely pay attention to the expensive models AMANA, MIELE, FRIGIDAIRE, AEG. Their quality has been tested over the years and there is no doubt about it today. These options are most often offered as the most reliable, durable and high quality.
In their production, manual assembly and the most stringent electronic control are used. The service life of this type of equipment usually exceeds 15-20 years. Such models are characterized by a high level of noise isolation, protection against leaks, a wide range of programs and multifunctionality. They minimize human involvement in the washing process, work completely silently and do not cause trouble in maintenance.
Dimensions, sizes, types, volumes of loading: which to choose
It should be remembered that washing machines of large sizes can only afford the owners of large areas. Otherwise, when choosing, clearly take into account the available space for the washing machine.
The modern market offers a fairly wide selection of small washing machines, including the so-called baby machines. It should be noted that babies lose to their big "competitors" only in the volume of load of linen, they are not inferior to them in the quality of washing. That is why they often become the ideal option for small rooms.
There are two types of loading: vertical and horizontal. Frontal is more popular among buyers. It allows you to harmoniously place the machine among other interior items and use its upper part as a table top or an additional shelf. The advantages of top loading include the ability to add laundry or detergent even after the start of washing. To do this, just open the top cover.
Due attention must also be paid to the load volume of the laundry. For frequent and voluminous washings, it is better to choose modifications with the maximum load.
When choosing a reliable washing unit, one should take into account the energy class, spin parameters, noise, vibration. It is better if these indicators are as close as possible to class A.

The information in the article is very general, and so known to everyone, without much practical use. I wanted to see here information about the types of drives, as well as a “revealing” overview of brands, to better navigate when choosing. It is known that durability and uninterrupted operation significantly depend on the quality of the assembly - in this regard, I would like to see information on specific manufacturers in the spirit of “this assembly of this brand will work, but not in another assembly”. Thank.
By coincidence, I buy cars with top loading of the imported assembly. The Russian assembly is noisy. I feed the machine through the stabilizer, because the voltage jumps and the electronic part of the control comes out. I erase every day. Electrolux.
Electrolux is power. My worked for 16 years and in 2012 she was tired forever. It was good. The question is how they are being assembled.
Do not buy Indesit! Bought in 2011 for a lot of money, rusted very quickly, though it worked for 6 years without failures.
Today I have died Indesit. I worked for 25 years !!!
I join the last comment - do not buy Indesit !!! For 6 years of work - 5 times !!!! broke ... constantly something bounced and rusted after 3 years.
And Indesit worked for me for 10 years - a good machine! And never broke ...
Do not buy the Electrolux of a new assembly, it worked for 5 years, the bearing flew and the tank was not separable. We'll have to throw it away, since buying a new tank is not profitable. Not only that, rusted the entire body. With those machines that were sold 15 years ago can not be compared, just complete nonsense.
I totally agree. Ours was ditched in 3.5 years, the paint had previously come off with pieces of lid, and completed all the bearing.
Do not believe it, my Indesit served faithfully for 19 years. The machine is an old assembly.
I believe it. More than 20 years ... Today is the day of mourning ((
Of course, it was assembled in Italy, my Indesit also worked for 19 years ...
Indesit 663W purchased in 1995. Italy assembly. Today the drum bearing flew, changing is not a problem, the tank is collapsible enameled. Replacement and work on !!!
Indesit WISL 85 EX was purchased in 2007, after 4 years the TENA was replaced, this year the belt was torn from the fact that there was a backlash on the shaft, the tank was not collapsible - it went to the landfill.
I have been working for over 20 years, without frills ...
Electrolux EWS 1046, purchased in 2001 ... God forbid plows (t-t-t)! When spinning began to whistle, but that's all .... I love dearly.
I bought Electrolux in 2006 with vertical loading, after 2 years a water pumping motor flew. At the beginning of 2017, the drum racks flew, the electronics are terribly buggy!
The machine is Bosch. Over 5 years of operation: after 3 months, the bearing flew, replaced the forecastle under warranty. After 3 years, the bearings began to rustle again, then fell apart.
Well, they say that this is one of the best brands! Solid hack. A good feeder for the service will always be with money. And the buyer is a solid problem and expense.
Yesterday launched the first time, after the repair Indesit. Changed the bearing itself. The tank is not separable, it was necessary to saw, repair and assemble back. A mountain of laundry has accumulated during the idle time of the machine, it has been working for almost a day, the test is successful. Saving ~ 4500 rubles.
I have an Italian-made Candy that has been working for 21 years, was purchased in September 1996.
Today Atlant died, 10 years of work are not without failures!
I have Italian-made Candy for 20 years now. But it's time to change. Around China and Russia.
I Ardo Italian assembly worked for 19 years. Probably could continue to work, but the rubber band on the door broke. Masters said that they no longer let out, and another gum will not work. In general, my old woman died. There was a question of choice, which one to buy? I was inclined to Electrolux, but after reading reviews here I doubted something ... what do you recommend, are you good people?
German-made Bosch is expensive but reliable. Checked.
Elena, and where to find, tell me? Everywhere is not Germany, but Asia and others.
Indesites with non-separable tanks - this is crap.
I have had Indesit for 25 years. It erases, I do not complain, I think that I will not take this one. But it’s a pity, now you need to buy a car for a country house - a problem, couldn’t you choose?
For 11 years already the 3rd Atlas. The first died after 7 years. The second is almost 4. Bearing. The third one is still working. I won’t take it anymore!
I have 11 years old Virpul. Just super! France.
Praised AEG.After 4 years, the bearing failed, the tank is non-separable, the cost of repair is like a new washing machine of an average price category!
I have LG, my daughter, my mother. Mom works 5 years without complaints. My daughter and I are 3.5 years old. I was not lucky: 3 months. the bearing changed back - 3,500 rubles. Today, something slammed loudly. Worth it. I boiled the linen in the old-fashioned way, reached it with my hands. If she’s a kaput, then I’ll take another company. Cheaper. Everything seems to be Chinese. At least for 12 thousand, at least for 50. And at least it will not be offensive to change in 5 years.
I have a ZANUSSI machine. Worked since 1990 But unfortunately, it worked its way. I'm sorry. It was a good model.
My 838 Indesit plows 26 years. Changed the bearing two years ago. No complaints. I can change it to the new LG (2in1). AEG does not offer.
What is wrong with AEG? I think about the purchase.
Typewriter Samsung, purchased in 2003. Knocks with might and main. It looks like a bearing. The instructions say - a guaranteed life of 7 years. It turns out I worked for 15 years. We erase it now, but we will buy a new one. Thanks to her 🙂
I have an Italian Ardo assembly. It has been working for 20 years, only the bearing has been changed. Super machine!
Indesit has been working with me for 13 years. The only thing - it began to rust.
My Bosch machine has been working for 19 years. Never broke and is still in work. I am very happy about it.
My Indesit machine has been working for 23 years. Broke seriously once. TEN flew. The master who repaired praised the assembly of the machine.
Ariston Hotpoint worked for 3 years. Running, flying bearing. I think to take Samsung, who will say what?
I have worked VEKO 19 years in heavy duty. Never broke. But a week ago, "ordered a long life." Now I need to buy a new one and I’m thinking ...
11 years old Russian EVGO automatic. No problems today. It works like a watch. We erase 3-4 times a week for 2-4 downloads.
I have an AEG! Super machine! She worked for more than 20 years and only after that minor breakdowns began, she was already almost 30, brought from Germany, working, but it was time to change ...
We have Samsung and 5 years did not hold out. The board burned out снова Now, again, the trouble with the choice.
Guys buy Hyer 3 year warranty, A +++
