Where are Slavda washing machines made?
Slavda machines are considered one of the most budget-friendly washing machines. They are affordable and reliable, which is why they are in demand among Russians. Most often they are installed in dachas, where they work successfully for many years without requiring repairs. Let's figure out who the manufacturer of Slavda washing machines is? In which country is the equipment assembled? We will also tell you about the best models of this brand.
Are washing machines really made in Russia?
From the name, it becomes clear to many buyers that the Slavda brand is Russian. This is true. The company, which develops machine models, introduces new technologies and controls the main production, is located in Rostov-on-Don.
The main plant where Slavda washing machines are assembled is located in China.
Thus, the entire production process of washing machines is controlled by Russia. However, the actual assembly is carried out abroad, mainly in China. Separate batches of washing machines are produced in other countries - in factories in Turkey and Korea.
The answer to the logical question, why not assemble washing machines in Russia, is simple. This will be unprofitable either for the company itself or for customers. The Russian enterprise does not have the capacity necessary for conveyor production. And the construction of a separate plant requires large cash injections. Such investments will be reflected in the cost of equipment, but it is precisely the low price that makes Slavda washing machines competitive. Therefore, the demand for equipment will inevitably fall.
It is cheaper to make washing machines in China. The necessary capacity, labor and raw materials are there. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of equipment, a decision was made to move the assembly of equipment abroad.
Where did the Slavda brand come from?
Slavda is a brand owned by the large Russian concern NOVA. This organization also owns another well-known brand – RENOVA. Most Russians have heard of or even used equipment from this company.
The NOVA company was founded in 2004. At first it was a small family business selling household appliances. Initially, equipment was offered under the RENOVA brand. When demand reached its peak, it became necessary to create a new “name”. So in 2006 people heard about the Slavda brand.
The brand name is written in Cyrillic. This is done to emphasize the lightweight design and simplicity of the equipment. Slavda equipment was produced specifically for the Russian market. The company tried to keep the price of the devices so that it would be affordable to most buyers.
What's so special about these washing machines?
Budget Slavda washing machines are sold well in our country. This is explained not only by the affordable price, but also by the good technical characteristics of the equipment. Let us tell you how the models of the Russian brand differ.
- The loading tank capacity of the machines ranges from 3 to 8 kg. For a family of 2-3 people, a washing machine with a capacity of 3-4 kg is enough. If there are more household members, it is better to buy the most spacious model.
- The spin speed can reach 1350 rpm. The indicator is comparable to the most modern automatic machines.
- The loading type of Slavda washing machines is vertical. The laundry is placed into the tank through the top.
- The motor of the machines is direct drive, which increases the service life of the equipment without repairs.
- The washing machine is controlled mechanically. The choice of washing mode, time, and spin intensity is carried out by rotary switches located on the top panel.
Features will vary depending on model. On sale you can find devices without a spin option, for example Slavda WS-30 ET. This is a budget machine that can wash up to 3 kg of clothes at a time. There is even an additional gentle washing mode for delicate fabrics.

Good afternoon, we purchased a Slavda WS-60 RT washing machine. In April 2022 through Ozone, but the first launch was made only yesterday, 10/13/22. And when filling the water, a leak occurred in the centrifuge compartment. That is, it all immediately flowed out onto the floor. When opening the back cover, we discovered that the part on the centrifuge connection was defective; it was simply not solid and was simply hanging there. We wrote to the seller on Ozone for an exchange or refund. We were refused. What should we do? We have purchased more than one washing machine from this brand, we have always been satisfied, we would not want to spoil our good opinion about the manufacturer. What should we do?
