Reviews of the Electrolux EWS 1052 NDU washing machine

Many people dream of an Electrolux brand washing machine, but they are prejudiced in the belief that they will have to pay a tidy sum for it. Electrolux EWS 1052 NDU is a truly inexpensive model that immediately attracts the attention of potential buyers. Judging by the technical characteristics, this is a “home assistant” that is needed, but what will users say about it?

I got the machine last year for $330. In comparison with other similar models, it turned out to be the cheapest in the store. I had to overcome serious doubts, but I still bought the washing machine and it seems to me that I made the right decision. In short, this is such a good hard worker, into which the developers have integrated only the essentials. Some of its capabilities may seem outdated, but I don’t need much, it erases and that’s fine.

Five kilograms maximum drum load, spin at a maximum speed of 1000 rpm, 14 washing modes, including the most normal “hand wash”, also “super quick wash”. There is normal child protection, which has saved the machine from my tomboy more than once. That's all. As you can see, there is nothing superfluous, but everything you need is there. I'm happy with the machine, it's good for the money.

At first I didn’t want to take the car; the Ukrainian assembly didn’t inspire confidence. Then I bought it anyway and I can say that overall the washing machine is very good. Why do I think so? Well, first of all, the reviews about it on the Internet were normal. Secondly, she stretched out rugs and blankets that were old Samsung machine (I sold it last year), I just couldn’t take it.

I realized that if the machine has a small drum load, then it cannot wash large items.

Thirdly, the machine is reliable, at least until now, not a single complaint on my part, and this is already an achievement, because I like to find fault with technology. Well, fourthly, the price, which turned out to be very attractive, and taking into account the personal discount of 15%, I got the machine for almost nothing. I don’t regret that I chose this particular washing machine; if you don’t demand too much from the machine, then this particular model will be ideal for many people.

In September it will be a year since I bought this machine, the impressions are most enthusiastic. The seller said that the advantage of this washing machine is the tank, which is made of stainless steel, they say, other machines have plastic tanks. This is probably good, stainless steel lasts longer. I liked the fact that the machine washes well with a small amount of powder and the spin cycle is also decent. There is little noise during washing, a little more noise during spinning, but still not critical. The machine is inexpensive and functional, I don’t regret buying it.

My bathroom is just tiny, so I needed a narrow machine. Money was also tight at the time of purchasing the washing machine, so I bought an Electrolux EWS series. It's just a cool machine and don't listen if anyone tells you otherwise. I was lamenting that I had to buy a cheap washing machine, but in fact I saved money and did the right thing.

I am satisfied with everything about this machine except the load, which could be a little larger. The quality of washing is very high, even surprising. The machine washes thoroughly, it may even seem like it takes too long, but you can’t quickly remove serious stains from clothes.Personally, I most often use the Cotton, Hand Wash, Jeans, Refresh and Super Quick Wash programs, apparently these are the best programs.

If you want to thoroughly rinse your washed laundry, you can activate the extra rinse function.

It’s very good that the machine has a half-load function; it’s also in demand by me and often comes in handy when I need to wash a small amount of laundry. It turns out to be a good saving. I don’t know what to say anymore, I didn’t see any shortcomings in the machine, I give it five points.

I've been using the machine for 2 years and have no complaints about the washing. There is little noise. I changed the heating element once under warranty, no more problems arose. The best washing machine I've ever owned. I recommend!

After our narrow Indesit machine, which was built-in in the kitchen, completely broke down, we had to look for a replacement. Now I regret that when choosing, I paid more attention to the size of the case, and not to the technical characteristics. The main criteria for purchasing were the size of the case and the price (I wanted to buy it cheaper). I didn’t immediately look at the Indesits, but for some reason I liked Electrolux. Now there is a pile of junk that only worked for six months before its electronic components burned out, I’m trying to “scrape out” warranty repairs. Very bad machine!

Of the advantages of this washing machine, I can only name the price, and even now there are better and cheaper machines. Offhand I can think of a dozen shortcomings. Let's list.

1. Doesn't wash things, powder remains.
2. When spinning, it makes a lot of noise and bounces.
3. The electronics are “glitching”, I’m afraid that they might “crack” ahead of time.
4. Sometimes during the spin cycle a metallic clanging sound is heard. I haven’t figured out what it is yet.
5. Two or three washes are fine, and then something happens, the machine does not pick up the powder from the powder receptacle. Moreover, the powder often remains completely dry.
6. Unlocking the hatch after washing takes a very long time; sometimes the hatch won’t open for 10 minutes, so you wait like a fool next to the closed hatch to get your laundry out and hang it out to dry.
7. The water supply is very noisy and takes a very long time; on other machines the water fills faster.
8. The time until the end of the washing program is displayed incorrectly.
9. Foam control does not work. Once I mistakenly poured hand washing powder into the tray, foam appeared during washing, and the machine continued to wash as if nothing had happened.
10. When setting a delayed start, the machine freezes completely. Only after a reboot can the “home assistant” be revived.

The devil pulled me to buy this Ukrainian trash. If in Russia they haven’t learned how to make washing machines, then what to take from a stale one. A month later the machine broke down, but it would have been fine if it just broke down and caught fire. Fortunately, my wife was at home, she managed to turn off the power to the machine and then fill it with water, so our estate would have burned down. I really regret that I skimped on an expensive washing machine; I won’t save on technology anymore.
