How much is a washing machine?

A washing machine is an extremely necessary thing in the household. Without it, it is impossible to imagine a single modern house. And, of course, due to the unstable economic situation in the state, people are interested in the prices of such equipment. Especially when it was up to you to change your broken “domestic worker” to a new one. About how much the machine costs, we will talk on the page of this publication.

Price classes for washers

The price class of a washing machine is a special criterion that allows you to assign a specific model of a washing machine to one or another group. Different experts offer different approaches in determining the price classes of washing machines, but we decided to go along a simple path, highlighting only 3 classes:

• budget price category;
• middle price category;
• Elite price category.

It is clear that the distribution of models of washing machines in this case is based on their market value. Budget cars - the maximum price is 380 dollars, average price washing machines - from 381 to 910 dollars and expensive elite washing machines will cost from 911 dollars. But the question immediately arises, why precisely such price ranges? In this case, specialists, when determining the price framework for specific models of washing machines, rely on technical and marketing criteria, namely:

1. company brand and policy;
2. Country of Origin;
3. quality and material of machine parts;
4. composition and number of washing and drying modes;
5. electronic filling;
6. composition and number of additional functions;
7. protection and energy efficiency.

Important! The more expensive the washing machine, the greater the price range between similar models and the greater the influence of the above criteria.

All these criteria together affect the price and make it possible to understand which price category this or that model of washing machine belongs to. Well enough “walk around the bush”, let's give an overview of washing machines of the budget, middle and elite classes.

Budget washers

We begin our review with a budget automatic washing machine. This will be logical, since budget washers are the most popular and common. And no wonder, because their price does not exceed 380 dollars, which means that many can afford such automatic washing machines.

Indesit EWSC51051B. Budget washing machine with a record low cost - $ 227. Its technical characteristics are unlikely to impress anyone, especially by modern standards, but it does a good job of washing things, and for some this is enough. The automatic washing machine has a horizontal load, the drum holds 5 kg of laundry, the spin speed is up to 1000 revolutions, there are 16 washing programs. There are also unexpected functions for the budget model of the car:

• automatic weighing of things;
• washing with a spin-off;
• stopping and adding laundry in the middle of washing;
• delayed start;
• secondary rinse.

The model is pretty decent, but it confuses two points. Firstly, this washing machine was made in Russia, and this says a lot, well, and secondly, it is made of rather low-quality parts and low-quality material. Statistics tell us that such washing machines work on average 3-5 years, and then problems begin, but the choice, of course, is yours, it may be lucky.

Candy GC41072D-07. And this is a budget washing machine from a completely different manufacturer, but with similar characteristics. Even the number of programs and functions are the same. The difference is only in the quality of parts and price - the quality is slightly better, and the price is slightly higher. And of course the drum loading, this model has 7 kg, plus electronic control. The average cost of a model is $ 302, Russian assembly.

Beko WKB51031PTMA. This budget model of a washing machine is worth dwelling in more detail. At first glance, the price attracts $ 253.But this is a washing machine with a rather large display and electronic control. Pleasant surprises do not end there. The automatic washing machine has as many as 11 washing programs, including hand washing, and children's clothes, and soaking, and wool, and many other popular and popular programs.

It should be noted that among the functions of this machine there are truly unique. For example, removing animal hair. Even expensive models of washing machines cannot boast of such a function, but here is a budget car. The quality of parts and assembly is quite up to par, even despite the fact that this model is made in Russia, but there are still disadvantages. The main minus is the drum loading, only 5 kg, by modern standards this is not enough, and the spin is barely 1000 revolutions, it’s also not very good, the laundry at the outlet is quite wet.

Note! The manufacturer claims that the residual humidity of the laundry after pressing Beko WKB51031PTMA is 63%, but our tests showed 65 and even 70%, which is quite a lot.

Middle class

Now briefly go over the models of washing machines of the middle class. This is a fairly wide price range with a large number of models of washing machines, which have a variety of characteristics.

LG F12U2HDN0. A magnificent automatic washing machine, a bright representative of middle-class equipment at a reasonable price - $ 454. This machine has a lot of advantages, among them:

1. a drum into which 7 kg of laundry can be loaded;
2. inverter motor with direct drive (unkillable if without factory defect);
3. high speed spin up to 1200 rpm;
4. smart wash control Fuzzy Logic;
5. automatic weighing of dirty things and determining the amount of water for washing;
6. 14 different washing programs including modes: super fast wash, duvet, baby clothes, wool, etc .;
7. delayed start up to 19 hours;
8. washing with the spin off.

In addition, the machine has a unique, specially developed by LG bubble drum. It allows you to well wash dirty things, while taking care of the laundry. Also, the advantages include a stylish design, electronic control and a large color display.

DAEWOO DWD-UD2412K. Pretty interesting washing machine automatic machine made in Korea. It is interesting both in terms of design and from a technical point of view. DAEWOO DWD-UD2412K has a load of up to 12 kg. Moreover, this is not a boot-up manufacturer, differing from the actual one by a couple of kilograms, this is a real, verified download. 9 washing programs, high-speed laundry, stainless steel drum, smart control, half load and so on.

The appearance of the washing machine can be considered unique:

• the front wall is decorated with a unique painting;
• the display and control panel are not located on the front wall as with all machines, but on top;
• streamlined body without sharp corners and straight lines gives softness to the outlines and creates the feeling that this machine is simply designed for a cozy bathroom.

And how much is this miracle, 700, 800, or maybe 900 dollars? No, only 545 and believe me, buying this car you will not regret a single cent spent. For a large family, a very good purchase.

Note! DAEWOO DWD-UD2412K has a direct drive engine, for which the manufacturer gives a 10 year warranty.

Bosch WAT28440OE. Fans of German quality may like the Bosch WAT28440OE automatic washing machine. It is really made of German spare parts, but they have assembled it on the territory of Russia, and this is a real “fly in the ointment”. At the same time, it is also embarrassing that the price of this model is about $ 757, which is quite expensive for the equipment assembled in Russia. Consumers in their reviews say so: "... if they had assembled it in Germany, I would have bought it for that kind of money, but excuse me ...".

In general, the model has quite a few advantages: 9 kg load, delayed start-up, electronic control, a special program for washing pillows, protection against children, foam control and many other useful functions. But then again, who is stopping us from buying the washing machine assembled in Korea, repeatedly tested with even more functions, for the money? The choice is yours!

Elite technique

If you are a fan of high-end equipment and you have enough financial means to buy it, then this paragraph of this article should be of interest.The market offers enough elite washing machines, but recently even large shopping centers offer it less willingly, since demand is not too great. Here are some examples of elite washing machine models.

Electrolux EWW51697. An elite washing machine that came to us from Italy. Ergonomic design, roomy drum up to 9 kg, drying, spin up to 1600 revolutions - this is only a small part of its advantages. There are only 10 washing programs, but they are selected so that each program will certainly be involved in you. Some machines have 16-20 programs, half of which are not in demand, the Electrolux EWW51697 does not.

We will be fair and note the disadvantages of this model. Firstly, the body metal is rather thin, in some places it can be pressed with a finger, and secondly, the machine has a plastic tank of rather poor quality, which is unacceptable for elite class washing machines. And in general, the quality of materials leaves much to be desired, which will certainly affect the operation. And how much does this miracle cost? The average price is about $ 1,550.

Note! Our experts studied marketing research conducted on this model of washing machines. It turned out that Electrolux EWW51697 received quite a lot of negative reviews from consumers in Russia and the CIS countries.

Samsung WW10H9600EW. And this is a masterpiece home assistant from the Samsung company. Great design, high-quality materials, touch control and impeccable intuitive software, in general, everything that is traditionally distinguished by Samsung technology. But we are more interested in how it erases, and what functions it has.

Let's be brief, the machine erases flawlessly, mainly due to the design of the drum, the integrated bubble wash function, and unique washing programs. She can wash 10 kg of laundry at a time. In it you can wash the tent, hammock, sleeping bags, blankets and other bulk items. The machine copes with any dirty things without difficulty, and so that you do not accidentally overload the drum with linen, the “auto-weighing” function is built into it.

The car does not have serious shortcomings, although for this money the manufacturer could still integrate drying into the washer, but it is not. Although this fact does not spoil the car. The market value of this model’s washing machine is $ 1,287.

So, there are a lot of automatic washing machines on the market and everyone has different prices. Conventionally, all washing machines can be divided into three groups at a price: budget, middle class, luxury. Examples of machines belonging to each of these groups, we have given in this article. We hope our review will help you make the right choice, good luck!
