Washer dryer reviews

Reviews of washing machines and dryers invariably interest potential buyers of a new home assistant with a hitherto unknown function. It just so happens that consumers trust more those who have already used this product, even if their opinion is sometimes biased. As part of this publication, we have compiled a selection of real reviews from people who have been using washing and drying machines for some time and have already formed an opinion about them. These are the reviews.

LG

Elvira, 29 years old

My husband, children and I have been living in the Moscow region for 5 years. Housing conditions have become much better than at the time when we had to rent housing in Moscow and now we can afford a lot, but some habits, as they say, do not go away. The fact is that living in Moscow, I got used to using a drying machine, since there was nowhere to dry my clothes. Now we live in a private house, we can dry things outside, but I still prefer convenience, so after a short meeting and looking at reviews about the washing machine and dryer, my husband brought me a new LG F1255RDS7 washing machine. The equipment is certainly not cheap, but I am very pleased. The washing machine has a lot of advantages:

• a very large drum, as much as 17 kg of laundry, in my case this is just the perfect size, since we have three small children;

I didn’t understand this right away, but please keep this in mind and don’t repeat my mistakes, 17 kg is the maximum load for washing; you can only dry 9 kg of laundry.

• clothes dry perfectly, you can select the gentle drying mode and then the machine leaves things a little damp so that they can be ironed immediately;
• in comparison with my old dryer, it consumes much less energy, I was even surprised, if you believe the technical documentation, it consumes 2.7 kWh, while the old machine consumed 12 kWh, this results in significant savings;
• a bunch of different programs that allow you to wash children's down jackets, blankets, blankets, and many other large things; I have never washed woolen things in a machine before, but now, thanks to the “Hand Wash Wool” function, I forgot what real hand washing is and it’s such bliss ;

I also liked the option “Reduce washing time”, now you can shorten any program, if you think it takes an unreasonably long time, a couple of button presses and here you have a program that should “wash” the laundry for 2.5 hours, wash, rinse and drying in 1.5 hours.

Be careful, the quality of washing may suffer from changing the program time.

The washing machine has a very beautiful design, an informative dashboard, in general, I am very, very pleased. Without exaggeration, this is the best washing machine I have ever encountered. I advise everyone!

My wife has long liked a machine with a dryer, but we still couldn’t buy it. There were always some reasons: sometimes it was expensive, sometimes I didn’t like the models, or sometimes I wasn’t in the mood to buy at all. But then, six months ago, we decided to buy a washing machine with a built-in dryer LG F14U1JBH2N, for as much as $1,230. I won’t hide the fact that before the purchase I was worried that the washing machine might turn out to be bad, so much money wasted, but my worries soon disappeared and were replaced by a feeling of deep satisfaction.

Immediately after the purchase, as an experiment, we loaded two sets of bed linen and some small items. We set up a long cotton washing and drying program and went to watch a movie.The film is over, and the machine has already washed and dried everything, all that remains is to take the pastel out of the drum and iron it - simply fantastic. Oh, how nice it would be if the washing machine could also iron things, it would be simply priceless.

What else can I say about our LG F14U1JBH2N. Firstly, the machine is not quiet, but not particularly loud either. In general, for those who are looking for a quiet model, I will say: our previous Hotpoint-Ariston was quieter, but it did not have as many functions, and most importantly, it did not have drying. Secondly, the machine has a decent load capacity of 10.5 kg, which is very convenient; you can wash large items at home and save on dry cleaning. Thirdly, the machine has a beautiful, futuristic appearance, and touch controls complement the picture. Personally, I really like it.

Tatyana, 31 years old, Volgograd

A year ago I went on maternity leave for the second time. You know, diapers, baby vests, rompers, a whole mountain of laundry every day, but in addition to the baby, there is also a five-year-old child who does not reduce his homework at all. My husband works for days, but still manages to help quite well. He looked at how I was fluttering around with two children and a bunch of laundry drying all over the house and decided to give me a washing machine with a drying function LG F12U1HDM1N. The husband explained that this is an inexpensive and reliable model, which was recommended to him by a specialist he knew.

At first, I decided to nitpick a little and look for flaws, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find any. The controls are electronic and very clear. It’s easy to choose a washing mode; you learn to control it almost immediately. Quite roomy, you can wash almost everything in two bookmarks. The main thing is that there is no laundry on the drying line, no dampness in the house, since things are dried directly in the drum.A friend scared me that after using a washer-dryer, things would smell like something unknown, but in reality they smell like air conditioning, at least I didn’t notice anything unpleasant, although I don’t complain about problems with my sense of smell.

The washing machine has a bunch of, from my point of view, unnecessary functions like diagnostics using a smartphone, but I simply don’t use them, and the rest of the functions are very much in demand. LG F12U1HDM1N is an excellent washing machine that has solved the most unpleasant household problems.

Electrolux

Alexander, 34 years old, Pskov

2 months ago “the devil pulled me” to buy an Electrolux EWW51476WD washing machine and dryer. At first, it seemed that the drying function was cool, but it turned out to be not cool at all. I overpaid about $350 for it, but in the end I don’t use it at all, I dry things on the balcony. I tried drying things in a drum a couple of times, but it turned out that after such drying they began to emit a strong smell of plastic, so I had to give up this disastrous business.

I can’t judge all washing machines with a drying function, I haven’t used them, but the Electrolux EWW51476WD is definitely complete nonsense. The materials from which it is made are clearly not of high quality, especially plastic, the electronics sometimes glitch, in addition, the manufacturer clearly overestimated the maximum load of laundry. And for all this they ask for 1000 dollars, and her “red price” is two hundred on market day. I am categorically dissatisfied with the purchase and do not recommend it to anyone.

I checked, 7 kg, it doesn’t wash at all, the maximum it pulls out is 6 kg, if you put in a little more, it starts to freeze.

Elena, 27 years old

With the purchase of an Electrolux EWW51696SWD washing machine, my life has changed for the better. It looks like an advertising slogan, but it's true. How I suffered when I had to hang my laundry in the apartment every time.These endless ropes, drying, how tired it all is, it seems that we live in a communal apartment, but in reality we have a three-ruble rent in the center of the city.

Unfortunately, the windows and balcony face a polluted street. It’s more expensive to dry your laundry there, so you had to endure being next to “garlands” of wet clothes. This is all a thing of the past now because I now get things out of the drum completely dry. As a disadvantage, I can point out that the Electrolux EWW51696SWD is quite noisy during the spin cycle. I tried to run the wash at night, but “the number didn’t work” and the washing machine woke up everyone in the household.

Candy

Anastasia, Saratov

We needed a washing machine with a drying function and an inexpensive one. The choice fell on Candy GVW45 385TC-07. Outwardly, nothing special, very similar to other washing machines from the line of conventional machines from Kandy, but the quality, surprisingly, pleased me. What was especially surprising was the almost complete absence of plastic smell. Neither after washing nor after drying things acquire any foreign odors, only a slight smell of powder. There are many washing programs, but I only use a few.

After the first launch, I really didn’t like the rattling noise during spinning and drying, but it turned out that the problem was not in the machine, but in the crooked hands of the workers who installed it. I called others, they leveled it for me and strengthened the floor, the rattling almost disappeared. The load of laundry is quite sufficient - 8 kg, however, the machine can only dry 4 kg, although the passport states 5 kg - this is not true. Overall, a very good washing machine that really made life easier, I recommend it to everyone.

I have absolutely no luck with dryers. First, I bought an expensive drying cabinet, but after a month all the electrical and electronics burned out due to a power surge.Then there was the dryer, which fatally broke down after six months. My wife jokes that I will soon be working on one household appliance. Finally, I bought a Candy GVW45 385TC-07 washing machine with a drying function and for the second year now it has been working flawlessly. I like the washing machine.

1. The drum holds a lot of laundry. 8 kg total and 5 kg for drying.
2. The drum spins very quickly, judging by the passport, 1300 rpm.
3. There is a touch display and electronic controls.
4. There are a lot of functions that I still can’t figure out. Among them: anti-allergy, children's clothes, curtains, soaking, washing wool and others.
5. The washing machine has a delayed start for up to 23 hours, which I often use.

I am often away from home for a long time; delayed start comes in handy when I need to accurately calculate the time to start the washing machine. The main thing is that nothing breaks and the neighbors don’t flood, otherwise everything is fine.

Cons: noisy, vibrates a lot when spinning, rustic in appearance. This design is typical for inexpensive washing machines, which is what the Candy GVW45 385TC-07 is. I paid 760 dollars for it. I think the price is even a little high, although the model can be fully recommended, especially to young families.

In conclusion, we note that by carefully reading people’s reviews of washing machines and dryers, we can conclude that not everything in this technique suits users. However, the reviews are mostly positive, which indicates that such washing machines are quite trustworthy. If you still can’t decide which model of such a washing machine to choose, read the article Secrets of choosing a washing machine with dryer, you will find quite a lot of useful information in it. Good luck with your choice!
