Reviews of Fairy washing machines
The desire to acquire a good washing machine with limited financial resources is quite feasible if you pay attention to the equipment produced under the Fairy brand. There are quite a few models of Fairy washing machines. This includes the SMP and SM series, in each such series there are up to a dozen models. Let's look at consumer reviews of the most worthy models. Are they that good or should we choose another brand?
Fairy SMP 40N
Varvara Alekseevna
Date of acquisition: March 2013.
Advantages: small, light, roomy, it can be moved from one room to another.
Disadvantages: it does not pour out the water completely, you have to lift the machine to drain the water.
I used the Siberia washing machine for about 30 years, then it broke down, and I decided to choose the simplest one possible. semi-automatic washing machine with spin. The salesman in the store advised me to take an inexpensive Fairy SMP 40N machine, they say it has good reviews I doubted it, it itself is plastic, the lids are plastic, the whole thing is somehow unreliable in appearance. I was attracted by the price and decided to buy it. I liked the fact that it was light; my old Siberia had to be pulled out of the pantry and carried on its navel into the bathroom. Fairy is 3 times lighter, with my arthritis this is a huge plus.
Fairy SMP 40N is quite easy to use, I figured it out almost immediately, washed pastel linen, then blouses and a jacket. Everything went into the tank and washed out great. The spin is also excellent, I advised my friend to buy the same one. One minus caught my eye, water does not leave the tank completely after washing, you have to tilt the machine so that the residue goes through the drain, but this doesn’t bother me personally. Fairy 40 gets a five from me.
Margarita Kadatskikh
Date of acquisition: May 2011.
Pros: I didn’t see it.
Disadvantages: semi-automatic, does not drain water well, the centrifuge does not work, the tank lid is broken, the hose falls off... we can go on for a long time.
I had an old Indesit automatic machine at my dacha for a long time. Now I understand how good it was before. And I realized this thanks to the purchase of the “magnificent” Fairy SMP 40N machine. More precisely, it wasn’t even me who bought it, but my husband was flattered by the low price and thought it would be suitable for a dacha. At first I agreed with him, but After the third wash, the latch on the tank lid broke.
They didn’t take it to the service department, I was too lazy to take it, my husband did something wrong, the lid started to close. A year later, the centrifuge broke down, now it sits idle in the barn at the dacha, sometimes I take it out to wash dacha rags without spinning. I should have read reviews about it earlier, everything is eloquently described there. Before the Fairy SMP 40N washing machine broke down, using it was very unpleasant:
- she tore things;
- the water was not drained well;
- the hose kept falling off and had to be tied to a wire;
- I had to pour water in a bucket.
For myself, I came to the conclusion that I’d rather buy some used automatic machine than deal with semi-automatic washing machines like Fairy again. For our grandmothers 50 years ago, such a car would have been a luxury, but we live in the 21st century and can afford something better. Score 2.
Only real reviews are used here, brought into readable form by our editor.
Fairy SMP 32
Natalya Sergeevna
Date of acquisition: February 2012.
Advantages: very light, compact, fits in a closet, washes things with a minimum amount of powder, high spin speed.
Disadvantages: not enough things fit, you can’t wash large rags.
I live alone in a room in a communal apartment, there is no place to put an automatic washing machine, and there is no particular need for it, I don’t accumulate dirty laundry, I try to wash everything at once. I was looking for a small washing machine that had a centrifuge and took up minimal space.
I looked at the reviews and in the end the choice fell on the Fairy SMP 32 machine. It is very small, but it has 2 compartments, a tank and a centrifuge. I didn't like the short cord and had to connect the machine via an extension cord. Also, the machine contains few things, but the volume is enough for me. The only thing that confuses me is that you can’t wash large items like a rug, blanket or pillow. In general, the Fairy SMP 32 machine is good and inexpensive - rating 4.
Fairy SM 251
Ivan Shestakov
Date of acquisition: June 2014.
Advantages: no larger than a bucket, washes normally, costs a penny.
Disadvantages: for this money I did not find any disadvantages.
Divorced three years ago, I live a happy single life. My life is modest, I decided not to spend money and bought a device called the Fairy CM 251 washing machine for $30, especially since the reviews about it are normal. There is nothing special about it, you load 2.5 kg of laundry and wash it. You have to wring it out manually, since it doesn’t have a spinning mechanism.
I am satisfied with the quality of the equipment, although by and large it is primitive and there is nothing particularly broken in it. You put the machine in the bathroom, get hot water straight from the tap, throw in your clothes, plug it in and go wash it. Then I opened the hatch, poured water over the edge and everything was fine. I rate Fairy SM 251, this “antediluvian miracle of technology”, a five minus.
Fairy SM 253
Elena Fedoseeva
Date of purchase: March 23, 2014
Advantages: small size, high quality washing, water saving.
Disadvantages: poor-quality case materials, weak cover and primitive control panel.
I bought a Fairy SM 253 machine specifically for the dacha, I already had a Fairy SM 151 activator, it served for 4 years, then it broke down, repairs were expensive, so I bought a similar one. What I like about these cars is the size. You can’t throw an automatic car into the trunk, but this one is easy and you only need to warm up a little water. At the dacha I usually heat a 10 liter bucket of water with a boiler; it’s enough to wash and rinse after gardening. It is easy to operate, since there are no electronics in it, only mechanics.
My 5-year-old granddaughter calls the machine a trash can; in fact, in appearance it somewhat resembles a small trash container. Jokes aside, Fairy SM 253 erases really well, you can’t complain. If it had been made of better plastic and had a metal hatch, it would not have been worth the price.
Fairy SMP 20
Lyudmila Mordvinova
Date of purchase: April 2014.
Pros: washes and wrings out well.
Disadvantages: none found.
I needed a small machine with a spin function. The Fairy SMP 20 is just such a machine, there is nothing superfluous in it. A mechanical timer allows you to set the washing time, another timer sets the spin cycle. The machine is small, so it contains very little laundry - 2 kg. Fairy SMP 20 receives a rating of 5.
Fairy SMP 60 N
Ekaterina Slyusareva
Date of purchase: January 2015.
Advantages: low price, spaciousness.
Disadvantages: unpleasant plastic smell when pouring hot water.
The washing machine Fairy SMP 60 N is very good, for that kind of money I didn’t expect it to wash so well. The tank contains all the accumulated laundry, but the centrifuge is not so spacious; it has to be wrung out in 2 steps. It is stated that it has a load of 6 kg, in fact I stuff much more into it, and it still washes fine. After a couple of months of use, I realized that I can’t pour very hot water into it, it starts to smell like plastic, and then my laundry gets stinky. If you wash not in boiling water, then everything is fine. I rate the washing machine a four plus.
In conclusion, we note that, as you can see, people’s reviews are varied, some are bad, some are average and some are good. But do not forget that they are talking about different models of washing machines, and besides, their opinion is purely subjective. Perhaps you will share your opinion about Fairy washing machines, and we will post it on the pages of our website.

We bought a rash mini washing machine Fairy-2m. After the second (!) wash, the drain hose broke, which is not surprising, the material from which it is made is no thicker than newsprint and is much weaker in strength, I contacted the local Russian company-seller with a request to at least tell me where to buy a similar one. , but the selling company is silent, like a partisan. Naturally, the machine is made in China. We carried out a couple more washes, fitting a regular plug under the hole, but in the end, the plug didn’t hold either. I would like to warn those who will decide to buy such a machine in the future. Do not buy anything through an online store in Russia, you will definitely be deceived. And secondly, do not buy cheap Chinese products, this is only a waste of your money and a waste of the original materials by the manufacturer.
I bought Steer three months ago. car Fairy SMP-60n, broke down today November 19th.The engine pulley fell off. What kind of metal was it made from, my husband is surprised, the crap is the most natural. Everything is done on snot. I don't recommend it!
It is usually made from silumin
I bought a Fairy SMP 50n washing machine in January 2018. The equipment is normal for the village, but there is one drawback, or I got a defective one, I don’t know, when you wash it, water flows from the sides and it looks like it’s in the middle of a lake. And so good, the spin is wonderful.
I bought a Fairy SMP-32 today. I'm already wondering how to take it to the store. Water from the washing tank flows into the centrifuge tank.
I have the same thing with this brand of car, and from the very first wash. I don't know whether to continue washing or not. By the way, do stores take back a washing machine like this that they sold for 4,500?
I bought a Fairy SMP-50N, it worked for 10 minutes, a terrible grinding noise began. I wanted to drain the water, but the drain did not work. I scooped it out by hand.
