Washing machine manufacturer Vestel

Not every buyer knows who the manufacturer of Vestel washing machines is, what place it occupies in the market and whether it should be trusted. This introduces a significant imbalance with the pleasant price and high-quality assembly for which Westel household appliances and electronics are famous. In order not to guess and not to overpay more popular companies, we suggest that you study in more detail the issue of the location of Vestel developers and assemblers. At the same time, consider a review of the best models and the reviews available on them.

Origin and brand affiliation

Vestel is the largest manufacturer of large household appliances and electronics in Europe. The country of origin is Turkey, but under the auspices of the brand 19 organizations are united with representation in 14 countries, including Germany, Russia, Romania, Great Britain, France and Italy. The wide scope with leadership entry into the international market is due to the merger with the transnational holding Zorlu Group and the gradual absorption of a number of competitors based abroad. Vivid examples were the overbought Danish company Vestfrost and the British Waltham.

In addition to producing equipment under its own name, Vestel successfully promotes its products under third-party, more well-known brands. Thus, in Turkish factories, under licensing agreements, televisions are assembled under the German brand Telefunken or the Italian brand Innohit. Production has also been established on a contract basis: the factories are used for the production of consumer electronics from AKAI, Toshiba, Philips, Daewoo, Gorenje, Inexive, Medion, Orion Electric and many others.

Vestel entered the Russian market in 2003, when the first TV assembly plant was built.Over the following years, production expanded, and the range was expanded to include refrigeration equipment, cookers, air conditioners and washing machines. From 2014 to the present, the production of equipment assembled in Russia has been suspended due to the economic crisis. It is likely that the company's activities will resume.

Review of the best machines of this brand

Information about where the washing machine is made and how widespread production is is important, but it is better to “understand” specific models and their characteristics. To make your search easier among washing machines from Vestel, a review of the best machines will help. We will tell you who is among them below.

Among the most inexpensive, the Vestel F2WM 840 with a digital display, electronic control and a capacity of 5 kg stands out. The power consumption and washing efficiency classes of level A+ and A, respectively, are attractive, as well as the partially protected housing with child lock and imbalance control. There are more than 10 modes with convenient express, soaking and creasing prevention programs. Among the advantages are the presence of a delay start timer, the ability to independently vary the temperature and low noise level. Among the disadvantages is the low spin speed with a maximum of 800 rpm.

The Vestel FLWM 1241 offers great power and capabilities. Its main feature is the presence of a removable cover for installation. The interesting design with a black tinted door contrasting with the white body is also impressive. Other operational characteristics are as follows:

• Maximum load – 6 kg.
• Electricity consumption class A++.
• Class A washing quality.
• Category B spin at speeds up to 1200 rpm.
• Water consumption per cycle is about 47 liters.
• 15 programs with “Anti-allergy”, “Super rinse”, “Quick wash” modes.
• Hatch diameter 33 cm.

The noise level is within 61-77 dB.

The middle segment, both in price and technical parameters, is represented by the Vestel FLWM 1041. This is a free-standing front-facing automatic machine with electronic control and a backlit digital display. It is considered economical, as it consumes a low amount of electricity (class A++) and water (no more than 47 liters per cycle). The rotation speed of the drum during spinning is up to 1000 rpm, and you can adjust its strength or cancel it altogether. As for the programs, there are 15 of them, including the most popular ones - quick wash, economy, as well as a mode for children's clothes and super-rinse. The manufacturer did not forget about safety: partial insulation of the housing from leaks, child locking of the control panel and control of imbalance and foam formation.

Reviews of Vestel machines

Real consumer reviews will help you find out how high quality washing machines Vestel creates. Here are some of them:

We bought a Vestel AWM 1040 6 years ago, and I can confidently say that the right choice was made. This is a narrow model that fit perfectly into our small apartment and made virtually no noise. The machine never failed, it always washed things and wrung them almost dry. I was also pleased with the variety of modes with a program for children's things. And thanks to the regular use of special products, no scale has appeared, although our Stavropol has very hard water. Yes, and periodic washing of the internal surfaces was easy; everything is easy to remove and wash.

When we purchased the Vestel OWM 4010 LED for our dacha, we focused on cheapness, and for the money the washing machine offered the widest functionality and capacity. But in reality it turned out to be not entirely practical, and I have something to compare it with, since I have an expensive LG at home. Firstly, I was disappointed by the many useless modes without convenient express or economy washing. Secondly, not all preset programs can be changed in temperature and time, which makes the cycle very long, because just one standard rinse takes an average of 40 minutes. At the same time, things become very washed out. Thirdly, there is no child lock, but this is rather my fault.

The disadvantages include poor washing and poor-quality spinning when fully loaded (here 5 kg).

I use Vestel WM 1234 E4, and I have a double impression of it. On the one hand, the model is not bad, narrow, easy to control, washes quite quietly and has many modes, including a convenient program with quick wash. On the other hand, it wrings things out noisily, and sometimes even “forgets” to wring things out, even with the additional launch of a special program. I also consider the disadvantage that there is often water left in the powder receptacle, which cannot be poured out carefully. There are also problems with the timer: sometimes the time is reset abruptly, and sometimes the designated 15 minutes stretch for half an hour.
