Ignis washing machines

The Ignis washing machine, like the Ignis brand itself, is not as well known in the CIS countries as, for example, the Samsung or Indesit brand of machines. However, this brand produces very good “home assistants” with vertical loading of laundry. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and draw hasty conclusions regarding this brand and the cars produced under it. Let's study this topic in more detail.

Examples of the best models of Ignis cars

To better understand what washing machines produced under the Ignis brand are, you need to make a short review, within which you can give examples of specific machine models and study their main pros and cons. Let's start the review with the Ignis LTE8027 top-loading washing machine, manufactured by Whirlpool.

This “device” deserves attention, if only because with an average price of 250 USD. it has many of the features of a full-fledged mid-range automatic washing machine. There are 10 basic washing programs that you will enjoy using. The drum has a loading capacity of up to 5 kg with a maximum spin speed of 800 rpm. Noise during washing 59 dB, noise during spinning up to 72 dB. The hoses and body of the machine are protected against leaks; in addition, it has a built-in “child protection” program. Energy class machines A, washing class A, spin class D. Dimensions 90x40x60.

Note! This machine has a good “intelligent washing control” function; it is rarely found in budget models of washing machines.

The Ignis LTE8027 washing machine has the following obvious advantages:

• Low price. Many consumers pay attention to this advantage first of all.
• Unexpectedly high-quality assembly, although the machine, as we have already noticed, is in a low price category.
• It washes and rinses well. The washing quality in this case is better than that of most horizontal-loading automatic washing machines. The manufacturer did a great job here!
• Simplicity of control is combined with a full software interface. Even an old grandmother can master this machine.
• Even with intensive work, the machine is very stable, does not bounce or move from side to side.
• There are no unnecessary washing programs in the machine, only what is necessary and important.

This washing machine is not without its drawbacks, like any complex equipment.

1. The design of the car is primitive, which immediately gives off a cheap model.
2. The spin quality leaves much to be desired. If the manufacturer had “allowed” the drum of the Ignis LTE8027 machine to rotate at speeds of up to 1000 rpm, this problem would not have occurred. And so, the laundry comes out frankly damp, very damp, in some cases even wet.
3. This washing machine does not have some basic functions that are typical for all modern automatic machines. Such as, for example, a sound notification about the end of the wash or an indication of the time remaining until the end of the wash.

Next on our list is the Ignis LTE1055 top load washing machine. The model is more advanced compared to the Ignis LTE8027, but the average price is also higher, about 300 USD. What is so attractive about her characteristics?

For your information! Despite the similar characteristics of these two washing machine models, Ignis LTE1055 looks more beautiful in appearance than Ignis LTE8027.

The maximum drum load is the same as that of the above-described model, 5 kg, but the rotation speed is up to 1000 rpm, and this is already a serious advantage. Washing, rinsing and energy consumption class A, spin class C. There is protection against leaks, imbalance control, control over the amount of foam, and intelligent washing control. Noise up to 72 dB, 10 washing programs, stable. Dimensions 90x40x60.

What are the advantages of the Ignis LTE1055 washing machine?

• Attractive design.
• Good build and quality parts.
• This machine is very easy to use.
• It has the full range of necessary additional functions.
• It squeezes out pretty well.
• Saves water and electricity.

Disadvantages of the Ignis LTE1055 washing machine:

1. spin modes are limited;
2. there are screws for leveling the machine on the floor only on the front legs, on the rear legs there are no such screws;
3. There is no indication of the time until the end of the wash.

Reviews of Ignis cars

Now, here are some consumer reviews about Ignis washing machines. Let us note right away that we did not specifically select people’s reviews for this article. The selection is made on the basis of random requests, bases of some kind of intent.

Sergey 34 years old, Moscow

2 years ago I bought an Ignis LTE1055 machine. At first I wanted a horizontal one, but there wasn’t enough space in the bathroom, so I had to take this one. A washing machine for those who simply value high-quality household appliances without rhinestones and bells and whistles. It has everything you need, although I would add a delayed start, but overall it will do. It rumbles, of course, a little loudly, but it’s barely audible from the bathroom, so it doesn’t bother me. I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t have a screen and it’s unclear how much time is left until the end of the wash, but this is a matter of habit. For the money this is a normal machine.

Vika 30 years old Volgograd

Machine Ignis LTE8027. Immediately about the shortcomings, the machine is very noisy. I have it in the kitchen and during washing you can hear it throughout the entire apartment, it’s already ringing in your ears. It wrings out clothes terribly; you take out shirts and bed linen that are almost wet. In addition, it is not clear when the machine washed, because it does not report this, and it is impossible to see how much is left until the end of the wash. I had to save some money and buy a normal car, I’ll change it at the first opportunity.

Natalya 38 years old, Pskov

I liked the washing machine right away, it has everything, and the price is low. Ignis LTE1055 fits exactly into the niche in the bathroom. It looks like a simple technique, no screen, no beautiful buttons, like on other washing machines, and it rattles quite loudly, but it doesn’t bother me, the main thing is that everything fits beautifully in the bathroom. Everything is at hand and everything is convenient. Very convenient compartments for detergents and conditioner.

History of the Ignis brand

The Ignis brand comes from Italy, its author is the world-famous washing machine manufacturer Guido Borghi. The brilliant industrialist and his sons were the author of hundreds of ideas that were considered advanced in the forties of the twentieth century. Perhaps that is why its production quickly strengthened and began to develop at a breakneck pace.

Later, in 1972, the Ignis brand was bought by Philips Corporation and owned it until 1989, when the brand was bought by Whirlpool, which to this day safely owns this brand, producing a variety of equipment under it, including washing machines.

Ignis, translated from Latin as “fire,” is known in Europe as a good brand of refrigerators, microwaves, ovens and, of course, washing machines.

In conclusion, we note that Ignis washing machines will be appreciated by lovers of “home assistants” with vertical and horizontal loading. This is a budget technology, but this does not mean that it is bad, quite the contrary. Good luck with your choice!

   Sergey:

   This bandura stands on top where you can pour the powder, then this toad pours so much water - horror! I also bought it for 22,000 rubles. Don't buy this type of machine! I wanted to take it on the 4th day, but they told me everything was fine, I couldn’t. If it gets bad, then come back. Now I'm struggling with it. Then I looked, Elekrtolux, this machine costs 3 thousand more. 25 thousand I fell for the European assembly and these Americans. Don't take it - you will regret it.
