Reviews of Vestfrost washing machines
Few people know, but the Vestfrost washing machine comes from Denmark, and this brand is still super popular there. Currently, this brand is owned by a well-known company from Turkey, Vestel, so you won’t find Danish cars on the CIS market.
Mostly, you come across cars assembled in Turkey or Russia, although for consumers this is not so important, the main thing is what characteristics the equipment has and how long it can last. In this publication, we decided to present real reviews from the owners of these washing machines, so that you can get a more or less complete understanding of this technique. These are the reviews.
Vestfrost VFWD1461
Ivan, Novosibirsk
I’m a fan of short and succinct characteristics, so I’ll say right away that the machine is ill-conceived for its price category and has too many shortcomings. So, in order:
- very noisy drain, the pump works like an industrial pumping station, at least in terms of sound;
- The Westfrost machine is very bouncy, although the installer leveled it perfectly, plus the floor in my bathroom is strong and level;
The floor in my bathroom is a strong concrete base, covered with floor tiles; the previous LG machine stood rooted to the spot.
- the motor operates with strange howls, and when I demonstrated this to the technician from the service center, he stated that this is quite normal for this model;
- The drying is too aggressive, we only used it a few times, it was so frustrating, then we had to iron the clothes.
Neither my wife nor I were extremely dissatisfied with the Vestfrost VFWD1461 washing machine, although we paid about $1,000 for it. We did not see any design, impressive characteristics, build quality, or ease of use, but this is our subjective opinion. You might like this technique. We rate the washing machine 2 points out of five possible.

I immediately really liked the Vestfrost VFWD1461 machine. Acceptable dimensions, a lot of things fit into the drum, discreet appearance, and there are quite a lot of useful washing programs, and if you add custom modes it would be great. Washes clothes very well. My old Indesit machine was much worse at washing, but this one really makes me happy! The powder consumption per wash has decreased, and you can now dry clothes in a drum. I’ve been using it for 9 months now, I see only advantages and recommend it to everyone.

I bought this washing machine because of the mode for allergy sufferers. I'll tell you a good thing. I used to wash all my son’s clothes in an Ariston machine, then set the rinse cycle separately, and then rinsed the laundry in a basin, then wrung it again in the machine. So much work and time wasted - a nightmare. Vestfrost VFWD1461 with this mode for allergy sufferers (with a tricky name) completely solved the problem. The machine does everything on its own and allergies really don’t manifest themselves, I’m incredibly satisfied and happy.
Vestfrost VFWM1040WE
Iren, Omsk
The machine is inexpensive, practical and functional; I can’t highlight anything special about it, except, perhaps, for its small load. It only includes 5 kg of laundry, which is a big minus for a modern washing machine, even a budget one. Outwardly pretty, I would even say stylish. The spin speed is 1000 rpm, but I rarely spin at a thousand, more often at 800 rpm.
I was also pleased that the reviews about these washing machines were largely positive, this motivated me to purchase.
It is also convenient that the top cover of the machine was easily removed, which made it possible to stuff it under the tabletop. I rate “home assistant” as excellent; if it had a larger load, I would give it a 5 plus.

The Vestfrost VFWM1040WE could be considered a good washing machine if it were 2012, but, sorry, dear manufacturers, it’s now 2017 and such equipment has long been obsolete. Well, if it was sold at 2012 prices, that is, it would cost $110, but no, they would pay 24 mowers for it, isn’t that bold? I would never buy such a car myself, my aunt uses it, by the way, she is not happy with the technology. Don't look at consumer goods, buy decent washing machines.
Vestfrost VFWM1241W
Olesya, Gelendzhik
This washing machine has 3 main advantages - low cost, quiet operation, convenient operation. I am not familiar with other Vestfrost washing machines, but I think that they have the same advantages as the Vestfrost VFWM1241W. By the way, it washes very well, especially the washing modes for children's clothes.
I used to use an LG washing machine, which was in a rented apartment, I had big complaints about the rinsing. Elgie doesn’t generally rinse things well, Vestfrost is simply super in comparison, but LG did a better job. This model gets 4 with a small plus from me, or 5 with a big minus - as you like!
Yana, Pskov
I have a mutually hostile relationship with any technology. Mutual, because next to me the computer starts to malfunction, the refrigerator defrosts, and the microwave sparks.My husband even lets me near the TV every now and then. My relationship with automatic cars did not work out right away.
First washing machine Zanussi reviews which we read a lot about and, probably because of them, made the purchase, broke after 4 days of use. Somehow we handed it over to the store. The seller advised that instead we take a reliable, in his opinion, LG washing machine, which, nevertheless, lasted 1 year. Vestfrost VFWM1241W has been running for the sixth month, no failures so far, but I’m afraid to jinx it.

In general, the price-quality ratio in this machine is quite good. For a bachelor's life, this is generally a godsend, I wash everything without problems and have no complaints, even club shirts, even throw work clothes, there are no stains or marks left. I pour the powder and conditioner like into an old machine, but you can sprinkle less as you go. I noted some disadvantages.
- The assembly of the case is clumsy, there are cracks, some are jagged, various irregularities. I didn’t look inside, but I think the picture there is no better.
- The quality of the materials does not stand up to criticism. The same case still stinks of plastic, and almost six months have passed since the date of purchase.
- No additional rinse. You have to set the re-rinse for work clothes manually, and this is terribly inconvenient; on the old machine there was a separate button and I got used to it.
Otherwise, the Vestfrost VFWM1241W is very good, and in general washing machines of this brand have been praised lately. Of course, it is not suitable for picky buyers, but for ordinary guys like me, this is a good option, and also inexpensive.
Westfrost VFWD 1460S
Olga, G. Volgograd
The Vestfrost VFWD 1460S turned out to be simply wonderful, it feels like it was made just for me.The only thing that bothered me was the not very convenient hatch. For some reason I constantly caught the cuff, either with a jacket lock or with a buckle. As a result, a problem occurred: the cuff was slightly damaged and water began to ooze through the hatch during washing.
My husband sewed up the break with nylon threads, which helped for a couple of months, but then the leak resumed. We called the service center to replace the part at our expense, but it turned out that there was a big problem with the spare parts. I have no complaints about the washing machine, but I have a lot more about the service centers that service them, or rather their employees. If The cuff in the machine tore, an experienced technician will fix this problem in 20 minutes; it took us a month to fix it. It took 3 weeks for the hatch cuff to arrive from somewhere, and it took a week for a repairman to come to us, although the service was three stops from our house. Conclusion: great machine, poor service!

I bought this car along with an apartment that a relative sold to me along with repairs and furnishings. Such a good new machine Vestfrost VFWD 1460S. I had never heard of such machines before, and in general this brand of equipment is not familiar to me, but now I can say that at least they make washing machines very well. I don’t wash things myself, I always entrust this important task to my wife, and she, in turn, mercilessly exploits Vestfrost and so far without any complaints, although before that we had three different washing machines and she complained about everything. I can’t say anything bad, so I give the Vestfrost VFWD 1460S 5 points.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the range of models of Vestfrost washing machines is quite large and all models differ from each other not only in functionality, but also in quality.When choosing this or that model, do not limit yourself to reading reviews, look at the technical specifications and carefully study the appearance of a particular machine. Enjoy the shopping!

Terrible technology. After a year of use, the bearings, oil seal and something else fell off. When spinning, it roars and rattles like a jet plane at the start. Repairs are listed at half the cost, and the car is not cheap. I don't recommend it.
The machine has been in use for just over a year. The manufacturer provides a 24-month warranty, plus I purchased an additional two years from the service center of the outlet.
So: the machine gives an electric shock, this has never happened before, there is a glitch in the program - from 26 minutes it immediately jumps to 18 minutes. And since my relative is a master, but the car is under warranty, I determined by hearing that the bearings were in trouble. Not a single service center undertakes repairs, since the Turkish side does not pay for repairs under warranty and does not provide spare parts for warranty repairs. I have already raised everyone's ears. Now we are waiting for 45 days and a refund to buy other equipment.
The most terrible washing machine in the galaxy, every wash is like hard labor. No words! Why sell this?
To prevent the machine from jumping, you just need to remove the transport bolts on the drum, this has been proven by experience.
Complete crap! It worked for 1.5 years and can be thrown away! No one even wants to undertake repairs. Wasted money.
