About Bosch and Siemens washing machines

Sanaev Konstantin

We bought a washing machine through an online store, chose the Bosch WIS 24140 OE model, we were sure that this model had a drying function, but it didn’t. Since we never had a drying unit, we weren’t too upset. The main thing is that it washes perfectly and wrings it out too. I liked that the hatch has a large diameter, making it convenient to load laundry. You can wash both blankets and rugs. Only the machine does not spin them out the first time, you need to straighten the blanket, and then start the spin cycle again. We built a washing machine in the kitchen, behind the closed door the washing is almost inaudible, and during the spin cycle the noise is within normal limits. But the loud squeak after the end of the program is annoying, you definitely can’t listen to it.

Soloviev Kirill

I have a Bosch 28440 washing machine, a good washing machine with a fast mode. When washing it works quietly and does not vibrate. But there are disadvantages:

there is no child protection on the door;
A crack appeared on the hatch cover, which does not affect operation, but is not pleasant.

The machine worked properly, but one day it gave error 23 due to leaks and stopped working. It turned out that almost 300 ml of water had accumulated in the pan of the washing machine. The repair showed that the hose that connects the filling valve and the powder receptacle had fallen off.This happens because the holes through which water enters the cuvette become clogged with plaque. And when water cannot pass into the cuvette, it breaks off the hose under pressure. Cleaning with citric acid helped. Apparently the German manufacturers did not count on hard water and made the holes too small.

Bychkova Ekaterina

We installed a Bosch 28440 washing machine, which we really liked. I turn it on every day to wash my baby's diapers. It squeezes out perfectly, everything dries in a few hours. I also like the 15-minute refresh function.

Smirnova Zhanna

We initially planned to install the washing machine in the kitchen; we were only looking for a built-in one. We chose Bosch WIS 24140. We thought that Bosch had the best quality. The washing machine turned out to be a little expensive for us, but there was no better option, so we bought this one. After only a month of use, the first drawback was identified - with intense push-ups, the laundry (sheets and towels) tears. It bounces a lot during the spin cycle and is noisy, I wouldn’t recommend this model to you.

Nazarov Vasily

We have been using a Siemens WI 14S440 washing machine for 4 months now. I will note the following advantages in it:

a large number of programs;
good wash;
quiet at work.

There is only one drawback - the signal for the end of the program is too loud, which can be heard behind the cabinet door when the door to the kitchen is closed. Moreover, it will beep until you turn it off, emitting a signal once a minute. Why this was done is not clear.

Shultz Anna

I really like the built-in washing machine Siemens WI 14S440. Unlike our old assistant Indesit, who served us faithfully for 20 years and now serves friends in a rented apartment, the quality of washing is much better.But the build quality, I think, will not be the same; one cannot hope for such a service life. But I'll give it a five rating.

Kalintsev Vladimir

For 5 years now we have been using a Siemens WK 14D540 washing machine, built-in, and even with drying function. At first there were no complaints, but after six months the drying temperature sensor broke. The technician from the service center charged $30 for the work, saying that there was overheating. But after 2 days the washing machine broke down again. I had to solve the problem myself.

But the problem is that the built-in machine weighs about 80 kg and it’s not so easy to pull it out of the closet. But it was necessary to find the cause of the breakdown; the sensor turned out to be only a consequence. In general, I disassembled the body of the car, unscrewing about 100 screws. I got to the drying pipe. As it turned out, it was clogged with lint. I washed it and reassembled it, for such work the service charges about $150. During use I had to clean it like this 3 times already. I concluded that it would be better to take a separate dryer.

Mishina Victoria

The convenient Siemens WK 14D540 machine washes clothes perfectly and even dries them. The peculiarity of the model is that it is built into the closet and hidden behind the front door. Some things don’t even need to be ironed after drying them in the washing machine. For example, I immediately put terry towels in the closet, thanks to the “easy ironing” function. There are too many programs, some of them I don’t even use. The end signal prevents you from forgetting your laundry in the washing machine. No complaints.

About Electrolux washing machines

Aronchikov Mikhail

Before purchasing equipment, read reviews. Now we have a washing machine built into the kitchen unit, Electrolux EWG 147540. The machine washes well, but be prepared that it may tear things.In addition, after six months, the bearing began to be heard knocking. It cannot be pulled out of the drum, so repairs are postponed for now because it is working. But when spinning, it knocks like an electric train.

Bragin Victor

The Electrolux EWG 147540 washing machine is an excellent solution for the home. At high speeds it is quiet and almost does not vibrate. Always washes things with a bang. The operation of the machine is intellectually clear, I only used the instructions once. But there is still a drawback. There is too much gap between the drum and the hatch door, into which small things (socks, scarves) get caught. By and large, this is a small thing, so I recommend this model. The build quality is still excellent.

Maria Kachaeva

When we started renovating the kitchen, it became necessary to buy a built-in washing machine. We settled on the Electrolux EWG 147540 model, since before that there was also an Electrolux. The model has many nice features, a large selection of programs that are easy to select and run. No shortcomings have been discovered yet.

Zavgorodniy Pavel

We bought an Electrolux EWX147410W washing machine to replace the old Brandt vertical. The machine has a drying mode, but there is no fabric filter, so threads may remain on things after the previous drying. And that’s not all, after a year and a half, due to the lack of a filter, the impeller driving hot air during drying became clogged, and the air vent was also clogged with threads. The repair cost $40.

Another significant drawback is the inability to change the program and its duration after launch. In addition, Electrolux does not remember frequently selected programs. In general, the machine washes and dries well, and practically does not vibrate. But for the shortcomings only a 3 rating.

Malyshev Evgeniy

I came across built-in appliances only when the Electrolux EWX147410W washing machine appeared at home. I didn’t read the reviews, I bought the washing machine on the advice of the store managers. The machine vibrates like a normal one, and therefore I had to leave large gaps between the walls, sometimes it moves out of the cabinet. There is a backlit display, but I wish it was a little larger.

Drying didn’t seem very good compared to drying in my parents’ Ariston machine. In 1.5 hours things remain damp. The washing machine beeps too much at the end. By and large, I'm happy with the purchase, the price corresponds to the build quality.

About Hotpoint-Ariston washing machines

Metelkina Maria

Luxurious washing machine Hotpoint-Ariston CAWD 129. It works almost silently. Of the large number of washing programs, I also like the drying program and the “direct to closet” program, which really work. Like other built-in Ariston models, this one is assembled in Italy. The only disadvantages I would note are the high price and heavy weight of the unit.

Gusev Oleg

After purchasing the Hotpoint-Ariston CAWD 129 washing machine, I couldn’t be happier. The machine washes perfectly, everything is always clean. Trouble happened a year later, when the drum fin and metal fasteners broke. The drum needs to be completely replaced. Alas, I wouldn’t recommend this washing machine to anyone.

Evgenia

We bought the Hotpoint-Ariston CAWD 129 machine after reading reviews on the Internet. At first they started the machine without a front, so it made a lot of noise, especially during the spin cycle. When the machine was completely installed in the cabinet, it was practically inaudible. I am very pleased with the washing, as even the heaviest stains are washed off. Even with a short wash, the result is impressive.I only use the drying function when I can iron it right away, because it dries perfectly. The only drawback is the short drain hose. In my opinion, an inline machine should have a slightly longer hose.

Oksana Anikushina

I was upset about the purchase of the Hotpoint-Ariston AWM 108 washing machine. The machine’s drum fits a lot of things, but it washes children’s clothes terribly. And 6 months after the purchase, the lock on the door broke. You will have to contact the service center. We do not recommend equipment from this brand at all.

Kalchenaev Vasily Anatolievich

We have been using the Hotpoint-Ariston AWM 108 washing machine for a little over a year now. The machine is voluminous, which makes it possible to wash bedspreads and all bedding at once. But the washing machine makes a lot of noise even at low speeds. As for the quality of washing, it is average. On baby mode, diapers with poop stains are not washed. After several months of washing, the fabric softener did not wash off; there was always water in the compartment with residual detergent. I barely found the instructions in Russian. Conclusion: the price of the equipment does not correspond to the quality.

Popov Maxim

The built-in Hotpoint-Ariston AWM 108 washing machine was the finishing touch in our kitchen. It fits into the closet easily, there are no distortions, no vibration. In short, everything is great. The machine has been in operation for 1.5 years, twice a day. My wife uses Amway products and everything washes well. When the door is closed it is not very noisy. Disadvantage: there are no printed instructions in Russian and it’s a bit expensive...

About AEG and Smeg washing machines

Vyacheslav Rosenstein

I bought an AEG L 61470 WDBL washing machine as a gift for my wife. I was surprised that such an expensive model had a plastic smell that appeared after the first wash. What I didn’t like about the washing machine was the way the legs were adjusted; the rear ones were generally static.But the machine copes with stains of any complexity in no time. The controls are simple and intuitive.

Shelepen Anton

My wife and I chose the washing machine based on price, availability of drying, and protection against leaks. We were right when choosing a machine from the German brand AEG L 61470 WDBL. Externally, the machine looks high quality, there are a large number of programs and functions, and a convenient time indicator.

You have to get used to the drying function, as the washing machine gets very hot. Of the minuses, I note the inconvenience of embedding and adjusting the legs. In Bosch washing machines this point is more thought out. The hoses also turned out to be short, but I got out of it by placing the washing machine close to the sink. We actively use all programs and study the capabilities of different modes.

Buying a washing machine turned out to be a difficult task; the choice fell on the expensive built-in model Smeg LSTA147S, but I wanted a Miele, but its price turned out to be exorbitant. We have been using the equipment for more than 3 years. Drying in the machine was mandatory, since there was nowhere to dry clothes and no balcony. In general, the Smeg machine copes with its task perfectly. Programs are provided for wool, silk, cotton and many, many others. It washes things carefully, does not tear, and nothing shrinks after drying.

What I didn’t like was the insufficient information in the instructions. Maybe over time they will write in more detail. I am very pleased with this purchase and I advise you to buy such a washing machine if you have the money.

So, built-in washing machines are not much different from ordinary freestanding ones. The main thing, as consumer reviews show, is to pay attention to the dimensions of the hoses included in the kit and the dimensions of the machine itself so that it fits into the designated niche without any problems.
