Reviews of the Electrolux EWT 1066 EDW washing machine

Today, in a number of online stores you can buy an Electrolux EWT 1066 EDW washing machine at a good discount. This good top-loading model from a well-known manufacturer immediately attracted potential buyers, and this is no wonder, because some sellers offer a discount of almost 1/3 of the previous cost of the washing machine. Is it worth or not worth buying this washing machine? Let's consider the reviews of the owners.

Positive opinions

Ekaterina, Moscow

My husband and I bought this machine 2 months ago. It erases normally, the control panel is poor, but it shows everything I need, I’m happy with it. The spin is good, you can delay the start of washing for several hours, maximum, in my opinion, 20 hours. There is a cool mechanism for smoothly opening the door and a bunch of washing programs, although I only use a few. I recommend for purchase.

After two weeks of use, I did not find any shortcomings. It is convenient to load laundry: firstly, due to the fact that the hatch lid swings wide and does not interfere with loading at all, and secondly, because the hatch itself is located on top, there is no need to squat or bend over.

I read that if the machine is top loaded, the machine should make less noise.

The passport of the machine says that it was made in France. I don’t know whether to believe these words or not, but if the washer is really French, then it’s doubly cool. The garbage filter is located at a sufficient height from the floor, so that when unscrewing it, you can substitute any container without a drop of water falling on the floor. I rate the machine five points on a five-point scale.

Valentina, Murmansk

Our machine is almost three years old, maybe more, I somehow don’t think about the age of the equipment, it works, and oh well, if you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have thought to tell you about it. This washing machine has two obvious advantages: the highest quality of washing and careful treatment of laundry. The old machine left pills on things after three washes, and lately I haven’t washed almost anything in it. Electrolux does not allow itself such disgrace, the linen is intact even after 15 washes - checked!

Negative opinions

Alena, Saratov

The machine worked well for the first week, but then software glitches began. At first they appeared occasionally, so I didn’t pay much attention, but now the warranty year has expired and now it’s impossible to wash them on a machine. The “Jeans”, “Sports”, “Blankets/plaids”, and “Night” modes simply do not turn on. More precisely, they turn on, but after 3-5 minutes of washing the machine stops, and it can only be started again after a reboot. Looks like I'll have to call a technician.

Evgeniy, Moscow

This washer makes a lot of noise. Old lady LG washing machine I didn’t allow myself to do that either; I rattled, of course, but not so much. Problems also often arise with the dispenser. You can safely add powder and rinse aid to one compartment, but the machine will still take them away at the same time, so there is no point in using a rinse aid at all. Something is also wrong with heating the water. If you set the heating to 60 degrees, the machine will heat up to 40, it’s not at all clear why. The car is not worth the money!

Alexey, St. Petersburg

This washing machine has two significant disadvantages that outweigh all the advantages.Firstly, moisture accumulates somewhere inside the body, and it is impossible to dry the washing machine; we always have it with the hatch and drum doors open. Now the car has already begun to smell of dampness, and this smell is also mixed with the stench of mold. This problem must be solved somehow, otherwise operating the machine will be hazardous to health.

My daughter is allergic, if she starts breathing mold spores, I’ll just throw out the machine without thinking about it and that’s it.

Secondly, the washing machine hums ungodly. This is perhaps the noisiest washing machine I have ever seen. Also, once during washing the drum flaps opened, and the drum jammed. I had to fiddle with the drum to get it to close enough to close the flaps back. The conclusion is this: the washing machine of this model is just an ax. This ax may have been assembled in France, but it is still an ax!

Denis, Novokuznetsk

“I got into trouble” with this washing machine, I only had time to use it for two weeks. The car was handled carefully, it was still new, but despite careful handling, the plastic hinge on the hatch broke and the hatch stopped closing. Such damage is not covered by the warranty; the repairman put all the blame on us, saying that we closed the hatch too quickly. I had to pay for repairs, I paid 50 bucks for repairs. Needless to say, my wife and I are now afraid to breathe over this lid, but everything is of vaunted European quality.

Svetlana, Irkutsk

If I had the opportunity to listen to how a washing machine works in a store, I would never in my life buy this “clattering machine.” This is just a nightmare, a modern car shouldn’t work like that, even if it’s a cheap one. Everything in this machine whistles, hums and rumbles: the engine, the drive mechanism, the body, and even the lid rattles because it does not close tightly enough. One gets the impression that I bought not a high-quality European-assembled car, but some kind of Chinese “Gamyr”. However, it’s in vain that I’m pushing Chinese technology; it will now be better than European technology.

Julia, Tolyatti

Unfortunately, the purchase of a washing machine was unsuccessful. I should have chosen a front-loading model, but, as always, I am chasing something unusual. The machine washed well only at the very beginning, then problems began with collecting the powder. With all this, the car made a lot of noise.

Now the washing machine is completely out of order and won’t even start. At the same time, at the very beginning, after setting the washing program, the machine will spin the drum a couple of times and calm down until it restarts. The technician from the service center didn’t give her any reason, he took her with him for a “debriefing,” and now I’ve been sitting without a washing machine for the third week.

In the near future I will try to take this washing machine to the store, and in return get some inexpensive front-facing camera.

Galina, Arkhangelsk

The washing machine has very big problems with the spin cycle. Even after running the spin program twice, the laundry remains wet. I don’t even understand why this happens, because the drum spins and spins quickly. So it turns out that you can only count on washing and rinsing, while the machine makes a lot of noise. Just yesterday another problem arose: the washing machine turned off spontaneously in the middle of the wash cycle. If this happens again, you need to contact a specialist.
