Washing machines Whirlpool

Washing machines VirpulThere are few in the world of people who are unfamiliar with the Whirlpool washing machine. Moreover, about one in twenty families living in civilized countries has such a machine. Over the long history, the company has released a huge amount of such equipment, but how is it now? Is it worth it to continue to trust products manufactured under the Virpul brand, let's understand.

Where do Whirlpool cars come from, who makes them?

One of the most famous brands in the world, under which Virpul washing machines are manufactured, is owned by the Whirlpool Corporation of the same name. She has a long history of existence. The Virpul brand and company name appeared in 1950, but the company itself was founded much earlier in 1911, it was only called differently. Thus, it turns out that today the age of the Whirlpool corporation has already exceeded the mark of 104 years, and over these 104 years the company has changed a lot, except for the impeccable quality of the products.

Virpul PlantIt all started with a small company in 1911 in the United States in the state of Michigan, which launched the production of electric washing machines. This continued until 1929, when it was swallowed up by the larger company Nineteen Hundred, which continued to operate successfully in the market until 1950, when it was renamed Whirlpool. Since then, the corporation has developed rapidly, acquiring and absorbing smaller manufacturers of washing machines and other equipment, thus penetrating into different countries of the world.

Currently, in order to say where a particular model of a washing machine comes from, the Virpul machine needs to study the documents for it. After all, a corporation established in the United States has production facilities on different continents. Since 2009, the manufacturer of washing machines, Whirlpool, has also entered the Russian market, having deployed a plant in the Vladimir region in the city of Alexandrov. Thanks to this, a rather large number of equipment from the Virpul company of Russian assembly appeared in the territory of the CIS countries.

Note! Currently, in Russia, customers most value the Whirlpool washing machines produced in Slovakia.

Examples of models of Whirlpool cars and their characteristics

As already noted, the Whirlpool washing machine is known all over the world, but due to what the technology produced under this brand has gained popularity? Of course, due to the diverse model range, high quality and innovative approach to the development and implementation of new technologies. Here are some examples of the best models of washing machines that this manufacturer has created.

Whirlpool AWE6516 / 1. Automatic washing machine made using modern technology. Vertical loading, drum for 5.5 kg of laundry, speed up to 1000 rpm. Country of manufacture Slovakia. The washing machine of this model can not be called quiet or noisy, just like most modern machines - it erases 62 dB, squeezes 76 dB. The work of a “home assistant” can be made much quieter if:

  • correctly install it on the floor, strictly even;
  • use special stands absorbing vibration;
  • use anti-vibration mats.

Among the additional features there is a delay in launching, fast washing, water level control. In addition, a rather large number of washing programs for a budget machine is 18. The machine is protected from imbalance, children and foaming, in addition, it is quite economical. Dimensions 90x40x60. The average price is 340 cu

WHIRLPOOL AWE 6516 1

Whirlpool AWS61212. A very attractive horizontal loading washing machine. Its drum holds up to 6 kg of things, and can rotate at speeds up to 1200 rpm. Country of manufacture Slovakia. The noise level during operation is average. The tank is made of plastic, electronic control. Washing programs are very diverse and there are many (18), the “night wash” and “stain removal” modes are especially interesting. The protection of this machine is at a high level, there is:

  • unbalance protection;
  • protection against excessive foam formation;
  • protection against leakage, from overflow;
  • self-test for malfunctions.

WHIRLPOOL AWS 61212

Whirlpool AWS61212 can be called a very economical machine, because it consumes electricity, corresponding to the level of A ++, and water consumes less than 50 liters per 1 cycle. Dimensions 85x60x45. The average price is 300 cu

Whirlpool WTLS65912. Solid washing machine is a middle class machine. Loading vertical, country producer Slovakia. It can be loaded at maximum 6.3 kg. The machine is quite noisy, despite the manufacturer's statements about the maximum level of 76 dB. 18 washing programs will satisfy even the most demanding user. Interesting features:

  • secondary rinse;
  • delayed start;
  • super fast wash.

An absolute disadvantage is the lack of leakage protection, which is unforgivable for a middle class car. True, there is a system for controlling the formation of foam and protection from the intervention of children, but this does not save the situation. The undoubted advantage is that this machine is simply super-economical, since its power consumption corresponds to class A +++. Dimensions 90x40x60. The average price is 420 cu

WHIRLPOOL WTLS 65912

Whirlpool AWE2221. Another good budget machine that will provide quality care for your laundry. Loading things is vertical. Country producer Slovakia.

The lack of a display immediately catches your eye, but believe me, in this case it is unlikely to be useful to you, and if it were, then the model would go up in price not a few dozens of cu

The machine’s drum can be loaded on 5 kg, however, there is a drawback here that will have to be reconciled with. Its rotation speed is only 800 rpm, which does not provide the proper spin quality, but this is not in all cases such a “great problem”. There are also quite a few additional features, you can only highlight the indicator lamps, which show how complete the washing program is, but the washing programs themselves are already 18. Dimensions 90x40x60. The average price is 280 cu

Consumers about the Whirlpool Laundry Appliance: reviews

To fully understand what are washing machines manufactured under the Whirlpool brand, you need to consider consumer reviewswho for some time have already used this technique. We bring to your attention these reviews.

Elena 25 years old, Novorossiysk

I have been using the Whirlpool AWE2221 for exactly 1 year. When they bought it, they saved a lot, because they took cheap equipment, and even on sale. I was afraid that the machine would be very bad, but no, I was very mistaken. I also liked the vertical loading a lot, although earlier I wanted to use only cars with hatches in front. Many say that the Whirlpools make a lot of noise, nothing like that, you can hardly hear it from the bathroom, even when it is wrung out. By the way, spinning could be better, but in general it would be worth the money. Rating 5.

Alena 30 years old, Yaroslavl

Shelf life of the machine is 10 years, model Whirlpool AWE2221. The washing machine worked for almost 10 years without problems (without 3 months), and then suddenly the drum jammed. Now we will contact the service center to fix it, maybe it will work. The machine is simple, but it serves well, although I won’t take a top-loading car anymore, I don’t like it. Grade 4.

Alexander, 42 years old, Sevastopol

I have been using the Whirlpool AWS61212 washing machine for 2 years. In general, all is well. Pleased washing programs, especially like washing at 15 degrees. Outwardly, the machine is certainly an ax with an ax, but it will go for these pennies. Squeezes things out normally. The linen is semi-dry. The machine deserves a rating of 5.

Nina 36 years old, Moscow

Washing machine Whirlpool AWS61212, shelf life 3,5 years. I was disappointed in the purchase very much. The technique is not beautiful, it erases poorly, wring out, though normally. The hatch door closes very poorly, I'm afraid to press down, because the locking device is made of plastic, it is flimsy to the point of horror. Sometimes there are problems with the buttons, I press, I press and nothing, reboot the machine, and everything becomes normal. I do not recommend this model to anyone. Score 2 with a minus.

In conclusion, Whirlpool is the oldest manufacturer of washing machines in the world. The tireless desire to make the best equipment for people helped them to survive in the market for more than 100 years. Competitors, of course, "step on their heels," but so far this company is able to offer the best washing machines.

    Wonderful washer, I've been using it for 8 years!

  2. Gravatar Elena Helena:

    Wonderful machine. Mine worked without a single repair for 15 years. I will take a new only Whirlpool

  3. Gravatar Lyudmila Lyudmila:

    Disappointed in advance, I don’t like everything.

  4. Gravatar Natalya Natalya:

    For 16 years, no complaints, not a single repair. At the moment I want to front-load, but I doubt whether they are doing it now as high-quality as before.

  5. Gravatar Victoria Victoria:

    For 15 years, no repairs. And only now, the shock absorbers are already worn out and during the spin cycle, if a lot of linen the machine makes noise and moves. I’m thinking about a similar car, but there used to be an assembly Italy, even all the details inside are numbered and the manufacturer is indicated on them, and now? How to find out what you are buying?

  6. Gravatar Igor Igor:

    Avo 5245, is there drying there?

  7. Gravatar Natalia Nataliya:

    Where in Simferopol can I repair a Wpirlpool washing machine?

  8. Gravatar Anya Anya:

    Only whirlpool! Without repair and claims, the AWE 6515 has worked 11 years!

  9. Gravatar Victoria Victoria:

    I have a Whirpool AW9630. He worked for 3 years with rare use. September 23 stopped. Ordered a repair. Today is December 10th and the repairmen cannot fix it. They say - the only such machine.
    Even if they give me such a gift for free, I will refuse.
    Victoria. Krasnogorsk city.

    • Gravatar Eric Eric:

      I have such a machine worked for 23 years and only the drain pump broke in two decades. Do you have masters or armless or artful asses, maybe they want you to throw a machine into their garden?

  10. Gravatar Segonda Segonda:

    Vertical Awe6725 worked for 10 years with the move. On the 11th, it began to fail. Gets water in short portions, does not proceed to the next operation. And she stopped pressing at all. Before that, a coin hit. There was such a rattle, I thought, would fly into near-Earth space. With the engine, the heater, everything is in order. I think that it is not ceramic or inverter. The lid rusted around the edge of the hinges. And the plastic became red. I wanted to take Whirlpool again, but with front-loading. I watched up to 30,000 rubles. Nothing interesting. They do it with us. Steam sticker, like there is steam. There is no corresponding button. Description shoveled. There is no steam.

  11. Gravatar Marina Marina:

    My first favorite machine. Very satisfied. It has been working for 7 years. 2-3 washings per week.
