Reviews of the Electrolux EWS 1277 FDW washing machine
What is the secret of the Electrolux EWS 1277 FDW washing machine? It seems that the price is not so attractive and the technical characteristics are far from outstanding, but somehow it hooked consumers, because there are hundreds, and perhaps even thousands, of reviews on the Internet. Let's try to understand what the pros and cons of this washing machine are, and at the same time study the opinions of people who have been using this machine for some time, at least three months.
Positive opinions
Elena, Saransk
The main advantage for me is that the machine has been working for almost three years and has never let me down. It washes usually, nothing outstanding, and I don’t require it. Convenient adjustment of washing time. The machine is quiet, roomy, and has an impressive set of programs, but I will say right away that you will have to get used to the washing machine, since its controls are unique. I'm very glad I didn't choose another washing machine.

Nice car, seems to be made in Italy. At first it rattled due to the fact that my husband set it up unevenly, then he corrected it, and even anti-vibration stands I put it under the legs, now it works quite quietly. I also really like the function that allows you to remember the last program, once you set it up, and then the machine itself sets everything as it should, press two buttons and erase. By the way, I also use less powder than normal, and it washes everything well.

I bought an Electrolux machine a year and a half ago and decided not to install it myself, I trusted the technician. As it turned out later, it was completely in vain.The installation was carried out at the end of May and literally until mid-September, the machine was jumping around the entire bathroom like a captain. I couldn’t understand anything, like an expensive, good car from a normal company, well, it shouldn’t behave like that.
I started reading the instructions and literally immediately noticed that the washer was not level. I grabbed a building level from the garage, brought it home and placed it on the lid of the machine, making sure that the body was tilted decently to the right, thanks to the uneven floor. Twisting the legs, I leveled the machine and lo and behold, it stopped jumping and began to work much quieter. That's how it all happened. Now about the machine itself.
The washing machine is quite quiet, especially if installed correctly.
The drum holds a whole heap of laundry.
For small items, this topic is useless, since you sort the items before washing and usually do not accumulate 6.5 kg of white or colored items. But when you start washing jackets, you realize that a large drum load is a huge plus.
There are many useful programs for washing a wide variety of laundry.
There is a very informative display that shows which program is running and how much is left to complete it.
There is a very cool thing called super-fast wash. When you turn it on, the machine washes a pile of laundry in less than 20 minutes, which I personally like.
Well, what else can I say, both my wife and I like the machine, I can’t say anything about any shortcomings, except that the washing machine pours water quite noisily, although this is not annoying in any way. We are used to the machine and will continue to use it.

We got a very beautiful Italian one six months ago at a sale. This looks like my best purchase in the last five years.Firstly, its drum is very roomy, even rugs fit in, and I’ve already washed all my outer clothes for a long time. Secondly, it does not freeze during voltage surges, which are not uncommon in our area. Thirdly, it spins clothes very well, much better than my old machine. Overall, the washing machine seems reliable, I think you can trust it.
Larisa, Serpukhov
It worked fine for a year until our baby splashed juice on the panel while washing. I didn’t have time to wipe it right away, so something shorted inside and the machine stopped working. The repairman fixed everything for $10, I thought I’d get a lot of money. There were no more problems with the machine, I really like the selection of programs in it, everything is just what you need, no garbage. The washing machine does not require any maintenance, I only clean the garbage filter once every two months and do nothing else. Everything works great!

Among the advantages I can cite: appearance, the presence of touch controls, choice of washing time, excellent balancing when spinning at 1200 rpm. Disadvantages: narrow loading hatch, delicate electronics.
It’s worth adding that I personally haven’t had any problems with electronics yet. But people write that this is a common malfunction and it worries me. Still, the car is expensive and I wouldn’t want to send it to a landfill in a year. While the machine has been working for five months, everything is fine, I’ll give it four points with confidence!
Evgeniy, Kostroma
Well, judge for yourself, it’s an Italian-made machine with an inverter engine. This means that both the engine and the drive mechanism are very reliable, there are no belts that endlessly stretch and fly off. The counterweights are distributed correctly, which makes the machine stable.
As for the noise, I’ll say this: there are no miracles here, the car makes the same noise as everyone else, but without any frills.
The control panel is very well thought out, there is a normal display on which everything is visible and understandable. The programs are all signed in Russian. The price, in my opinion, is a little high, but for a good machine, why not pay. I've been working with the machine for a year now. Test technique!
Negative opinions
Gennady, Samara
For two months I was happy like a child; I finally bought myself a normal washing machine. I was happy and happy and, it seemed, I was jinxed when the machine broke down at the end of the third month. I called a technician from the service center, he came, dug around for 10 minutes and sadly informed me that the control module was damaged and needed to be replaced. Ordering a spare part and replacing it took two weeks, but after that the machine worked for not much more than a month, the module burned out again.
It’s just “fucked up”, doing the same rake twice. Now the service department is saying that this is not a warranty case, that the cause of the breakdown is a faulty electrical network and that I should write a claim to the energy supply organization. I don’t know who is to blame here, but I will file a statement of claim and let the court sort it out. I think the car is bad and not worth buying.

I’ll say right away that I don’t have this washing machine in my household, but I once thought about buying it. My sister has such a machine, and since I “lived” with her for some time, I had to study the technique. Very soon I realized that I would not buy this washing machine and here’s why.
The washing machine is very bad at rinsing clothes, it’s just really bad. I specifically watched her do it through the hatch. It feels like taking six glasses of water and rinsing in it.
There is a super-fast wash, which seems good, but the other programs are very long. So you wash either in 15 minutes or at least an hour and a half, there are no intermediate modes, and it’s a shame!
Touch controls are often buggy.
It takes a long time to turn off after washing.
It doesn't pick up powder from the tray very well; after every second wash you have to rinse the tray.
The main disadvantages, in my opinion, are: weak electronic filling and unsatisfactory rinsing quality.
Marina, Novosibirsk
I didn’t expect that such an expensive washing machine would have such significant disadvantages. No matter what anyone writes or says, the machine does not wash well. I tried loading the drum only halfway, pouring very high-quality powder, and selecting different programs, to no avail, it doesn’t wash properly. In addition, the machine is noisy and sometimes freezes after finishing the wash.
So we have given the most vivid opinions of people about the washing machine of this brand. It seems that there are more positive opinions than negative ones, but users hint at some shortcomings of the technology, which you should definitely pay attention to. Good luck with your choice!
