Indesit washing machines

Indesit washing machines are in good demand in different countries of the world. They have their own distinctive features, but they are not without drawbacks. About which models of washing machines of this brand are more reliable, where such machines are assembled, what is their service life and much more, we will discuss this article.

Brand history

The history of the Indesit brand is inextricably linked with the history of the formation of Ariston. It was like this: in 1975, household appliances under the Indesit brand appeared in Italy and gained success throughout Europe. At that time, Italy had already developed a company for the production of all kinds of household appliances, created back in the 30s of the 20th century by Aristide Merloni.

A part of this Merloni Elettrodomestici washing machine company was taken over by his son Vitorio, who, looking at the successes and pace of Indesit production, takes a decisive step and in 1989 redeems the Indesit brand. Since then, two trademarks Indesit and Ariston have been produced by one company, Elettrodomestici, whose head office is still located in Fabriano.

Since the indesit brand has had more success on the world market than Ariston, Vitorio takes another important step in the development of the company and renames it Indesit Company. This decision entered into force in 2005. Thus, the relatively young company Indesit, has gained worldwide popularity. Today, washing machines of this brand are assembled in France, Portugal, Poland and other countries.

Indesit washing machine appeared in Russia in 1993, and in 1995 a representative office was opened. In 2000, the company bought the Stinol Lipetsk plant, where the production of Ariston and Indesit machines began.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any other brand, Indesit machines have their own characteristics and advantages. Their main advantages include:

• Large selection of models with different characteristics. You can pick up a machine with vertical loading, and with the front. Moreover, the load of linen varies from 3.5 to 9 kg. Dimensions can be selected in accordance with the size of the room, among such machines are narrow and even small specimens that fit perfectly under the sink in a small bathroom.
• The functionality of washing machines can be standard or advanced. This allows you to choose budget models in which there is nothing superfluous that you do not intend to use, and therefore you do not need to pay for such useless functions.
• Reduced power consumption with new Energy Save technologies and Eco Time features.
• Snowy water consumption thanks to Water Balance technology.
• Reasonable prices. Automatic washing machines from Indesit are made mainly in the middle price category, but you can also choose a budget option.

As for reliability, the Italian-made washing machines from all other assemblies are most valued. The average life of these machines is 8 years. What can not be said about Indesit Chinese assembly, their service life may not exceed 5 years, this is how lucky. But more often than not, “washing machines” that are assembled in Russia from Chinese components fall into service centers. The warranty period for almost all models is 1 year.

The life of the equipment will also be affected by the correct connection of the machine to communications, operating conditions and timely care.

The disadvantages of Indesit machines, which are noted by service center professionals, are as follows:

• bearings that fail more often than other parts;
• poor assembly, leading to excessive vibration and noise during operation;
• poor-quality temperature controller, often breaking;
• poor-quality hoses and a cuff of the hatch, leading to depressurization of the machine and water leaks.

By user reviews washing machines Indesit can not make an unambiguous conclusion. Someone was lucky, and he was satisfied with the technology, noting that over the life of 7-8 years, the machine worked smoothly.Someone was not so lucky that in a few weeks they had to hand over the machine for warranty repairs.
