Which is better: Bosch or Ariston washing machine?

What is better washing machine Bosch or Ariston Today it is very difficult to choose an automatic machine - there are many worthy models from different manufacturers on the market. Bosch and Ariston washing machines are very popular among Russians. Let’s figure out why washing machines from these brands have earned the recognition of buyers, and which brand should be preferred.

General characteristics of Bosch machines

To understand which Bosch or Ariston washing machine is better to choose, you should analyze the models of each brand separately. Let's start with machines from a German manufacturer. Bosch washing machines are famous for their reliability and durability.

Both budget and expensive washing machines are assembled equally well. Therefore, you should not be afraid to purchase a device for $200 - it will cope with its functions no worse than equipment for 50,000 rubles. The only thing is that there will be fewer different options and additions in inexpensive washing machines.

All the main components of Bosch automatic machines are strong, reliable, and wear-resistant.

Cases of problems with electronics in German washing machines are extremely rare. The main control module functions clearly and uninterruptedly throughout its entire service life. So, among the main advantages of Bosch machines, users highlight:

multifunctionality;
excellent quality of components;
stylish design;
reliability;
quiet work.

The downside of Bosch machines is the commutator motor. Knowing the structure of the motor, it is not difficult to guess that the brushes will have to be changed periodically. Carbon rods last 2-3 years. However, replacing a pair of electric brushes is quite simple; such repairs will not take much time and money. you will have to change the brushes periodically

Bosch washing machines are repairable. Finding new parts when some components fail is not difficult.True, if something non-standard breaks, the spare part will have to be ordered from Germany, and its cost can be quite high.

New Bosch models are sensitive to the quality of tap water. If it is too hard, the machines may become capricious. Therefore, it is advisable to install a filter before entering the washing machine, which means additional worries and waste. Despite everything, users and washing equipment repair specialists give German machines high marks in all respects: build quality, reliability, efficiency, functionality.

Is Ariston technology good?

The question of which machine is better is open, and now we have to disassemble Ariston brand washing machines. The machines are in demand due to their affordable prices, stylish design and good functionality. It is important to note that in other respects these units are a little “raw”, and the quality of the components used during assembly leaves much to be desired.

Although the low cost still attracts buyers, it is better to immediately find out about the shortcomings of domestically assembled equipment. Weak point of machine guns Hotpoint Ariston are considered drum bearings. According to statistics, in 25% of cases, when using the machine 4 times a week, the rings wear out within 2-3 years. Replacing bearings is a rather labor-intensive process, so repairs will cost a pretty penny.

Analyzing the possible causes of such a breakdown, experts concluded that prolonged spinning leads to premature wear of components. It cannot be said that the problem is precisely the poor quality of the parts, since some Samsung models have exactly the same bearings installed - 203 and 204, and at the same time they fail only after 5-10 years of operation of the equipment.Repair experts explain this by the shorter spin cycle and lower drum rotation speed on Samsung washing machines compared to Ariston.

The key problem with automatic machines of the Ariston brand is self-draining.

“Gravity flow” is a fairly common phenomenon among Aristons. They require an unusual approach to organizing the point of discharge of waste liquid from the tank. This is due to the feature of the self-diagnosis system, which before washing checks the operation of the inlet valve, drawing water for 10 seconds and then starting the pump. A failure is issued by the equipment if the entire volume does not have time to drain from the tank. It is not necessary to delve into this feature, but to prevent the machine from acting up, you will have to experiment with the drainage hose and raise the corrugation at a level of approximately 80-90 cm from the floor. Proper connection to the sewer will ensure uninterrupted operation of the “home assistant”. Aristons have weak bearings

In addition to problems with drainage and broken bearings, there is another one - “intolerance” to too hard water. Ariston washing machines are even more sensitive than Bosch, so it is strongly recommended to take care of installing a water softener in front of the machine. Otherwise, you should be prepared that after some time the machine will begin to “act up”, the main elements will become covered with a layer of plaque and will no longer be able to perform their functions.

What to choose is up to the buyer. If you have the opportunity to overpay, it is definitely better to buy a German washing machine. In Ariston, the price is very captivating - for $150 you can buy a machine for 5 kg of laundry, with a large set of special programs, a digital display and various options. A Bosch machine with a convenient screen and similar capacity will cost $100.However, by purchasing a “German”, you can get a more reliable and durable “assistant” than by purchasing a cheap Hotpoint Ariston model.
