Reviews of the washing machine Indesit ITW A 5851 W (RF)

Washing machine manufacturers produce a large number of front-loading washing machines, as they are more in demand in the CIS market, but the situation is slowly changing. Some consumers have already realized that front-loading machines have their drawbacks, so they are abandoning them in favor of vertical ones. Top-loading machines, in most cases, are more expensive, but the Indesit ITW A 5851 W RF washing machine is quite affordable, which means we should pay attention to it.

Positive opinions

It is quite difficult to find a suitable washing machine for a small, cramped apartment. My primary goal was to save space as much as possible, so I first of all paid attention to compact front loading washing machines. It turned out that I did this in vain, since compact equipment of this type does not save much space. The reason is simple: just like any front-loading washing machine, it requires space in front of its body to open the hatch. As a result, you gain a couple of centimeters, which do not make a difference.

After much thought, I decided to look into top-loading washing machines. They have a narrower body and a hatch on top, which allows you to put the car in a corner where the front camera will not fit. In the process of studying the range of washing equipment, I came across the Indesit ITW A 5851 W. The washing machine itself is simple, nothing special, but it cost only $320, was perfect in size and was affordable for me. I didn’t think for a long time, I bought it almost immediately. This is my second year using it and I’m happy with everything!

The machine washes and spins well, and has partial protection against leaks.

I purchased the washing machine purely because of its size and price, but in the end I miscalculated. The fact is that I expected the machine to stand in the corner close to the walls, I even removed the baseboard in the corner. But during installation, it turned out that the hose fastenings did not allow the housing to be moved close to the wall, so I had to leave a gap of 3 cm and reschedule the dimensions of the kitchen unit.

Unfortunately, we live in apartments, where when planning space we have to take into account every centimeter. Of course, this is entirely my mistake, I didn’t look at how the hoses are attached, but the engineers who created this machine could have thought through this point better, especially since it’s not difficult. Overall, I liked the washing machine.

• You can load 5 kg of laundry.
• Dimensions 40 x 60 x 85 cm.
• Spin at speeds up to 800 rpm. I always turn it on maximum, it squeezes out better.
• Pre-wash available.
• A huge range of suitable programs.

Basically I was looking for a washing machine with a top hatch. Any other one simply wouldn't suit me. The budget was significantly limited, so I bought the cheapest vertical camera in the Indesit brand store and believed the positive reviews from people. The washing machine has a clear interface and is not particularly noisy. There is a quick wash in 15 minutes, and most importantly it works for almost two years, has never broken and fits well between the sink and the wall. Be careful, it doesn't have drum parking. The load is also small - 5 kg, but it’s enough for me. A normal workhorse!

I purchased this washing machine 3 months ago. So far I'm delighted, everything is convenient, takes up little space, works well. You don't have to bend your back to load laundry.I don’t really like that you first need to open the lid, and then the drum separately to put things in, but I quickly got used to it. The load is small, but sufficient. The price is reasonable. The car is not great, but it is good and solid.

Negative opinions

Arthur, Serpukhov

This washing machine has perhaps only one plus – its size. The rest of the car is poor.

• Firstly, the hatch cover is very weak; I accidentally pressed it with my hand and the plastic cracked.
• Secondly, when spinning, the machine jumps, and it does this quite strongly, and again it makes noise.

The washer spins well, but the wash quality could be better.

• Thirdly, the machine has a capricious tray, the powder is poorly washed out, and it is generally useless to pour conditioner, since it is washed off immediately along with the powder.
• Fourthly, there is no automatic drum parking; a modern top-loading machine should have this.

Conclusion: I didn’t like the washing machine.

You can't wash anything large in this machine. The machine refused to wring out even a relatively small children's jacket. You can, of course, do without spinning, but wet things are very difficult to pull out. There is no way to wash things at 30 degrees, which is generally bad, since I often choose this temperature. If you need to wash with bleach, it’s a whole problem; you have to suffer for a long time, since there is no separate compartment for it in the powder receptacle. Of course, you can get used to all of the above, but why? I will look for another washing machine, but I will sell this one!

Tatiana, Novosibirsk

The machine is of very, very low quality. I only washed it for 3 weeks and the engine burned out. With the repair under warranty, the pad came out, so I hastened to hand over the washer to the seller, let him deal with it himself. I learned two lessons from this.Firstly, you need to buy household appliances in large stores, and secondly, you should not save, since “the miser pays twice.”
