Lifespan of an Electrolux washing machine

In practice, it has been observed that brands that are leaders in the household appliances market reduce the quality of their product over time. These trends have not bypassed the latest generation of Electrolux products. Thus, the approximate service life of an Electrolux washing machine is from 7 to 10 years of trouble-free operation. Let's compare with models released on the market in the 2000s - they still work quite well today.

Why is the service life reduced?

Electrolux production is located in different countries, but this does not improve the quality of the equipment sold. Locally, it becomes a habit to save on components and materials, which greatly affects the service life. The high cost of SMA often does not meet the high expectations of the buyer. The main disadvantages of washing machines of this brand include:

• use of low strength metal;
• the use of low-quality plastic for the manufacture of the dispenser and tank;
• “weak” anti-corrosion treatment.

Because of this, strong vibration is often observed during the washing process, especially during a spin cycle of 1000 rpm. The main mechanisms are damaged many times faster. Another inconvenient point is the lack of many useful options on budget models.

How many years does such an SMA last? According to official technical specifications, any unit from Electrolux can work for 10-15 years. In fact, every twelfth machine breaks down after only 5 years. And every twenty-first after 2-3 years of work is discovered to have a serious breakdown.

Attention! Do not confuse service life and warranty period. After the warranty expires, troubleshooting becomes subject to a charge.

The warranty is most often provided for a year or two. And the cost of repairing a machine and purchasing new spare parts at your own expense is often equal to or even higher than the cost of a new unit of another brand. Does it make sense to buy Electrolux products if they last for several years?

Why does Electrolux equipment remain in demand?

Washing machines are just one item in the gigantic range of the major home appliance brand Electrolux. Despite these shortcomings, they rank first in consumer ratings. The advantages of intelligent SMAs from Electrolux are indicated by their following characteristics:

• a wide variety of models - built-in appliances, machines with front, vertical, horizontal loading, drying function (more than 110 products in total);
• stylish design;
• wide range of sizes and weights;
• the ability to save water, powder, electricity (classes A++ and A+);
• foam control system, water leakage;
• delayed start function (washing can be resumed at any time).

Electrolux washing machines comply with Russian and international standards, a two-year warranty on the machine itself and a 10-year warranty on inverter motors. Flexible pricing policy - from budget models to premium products. With proper operation, the unit will still work for at least 7 years. And by strictly following the instructions for use, you can prevent many breakdowns in the operation of such indispensable equipment in everyday life.
