Washing machines from Europe (European assembly)
If we remember Soviet times, the only automatic washing machine was the “Vyatka”, but it did not cause much delight among users, and everyone tried to get an imported machine, and even the manufacturer was not so important.
Although, Soviet people knew that there were washing machines from Polish, Italian, German, Swedish and other manufacturers, but the most important thing was that it was not Soviet. The USSR, or friendly socialist countries, have long ceased to exist, and we are all looking for washing machines assembled in Europe, because we are confident in their quality. But let’s try to figure it out if this is so.
Polish washing machines. Quality + availability
The main product from the Polish washing machine series can be considered the Hansa company.
Actually, the company produces various household appliances, and washing machines are also included in the range. Various models attract not only with their functionality, but also with reasonable prices, and the Navigator PG 5080B712 (2009) is an example.
Navigator PG 5080B712 and its features
The Navigator series includes different models, but it is the Navigator PG 5080B712 that includes innovations such as the 3D Wash System. The peculiarity of this innovation is that the drum has a certain slope of 5 degrees. When washing, there is a simultaneous impact on the laundry being washed, both horizontally and vertically, but at the same time the water and detergent are uniform over the entire surface. Also, do not forget that the machine included 15 programs, which included useful and necessary ones, plus additional options.
Navigator PG 5080B712 controls drum imbalance, foam control, overload and auto-stop in emergency situations. There is also a process that cools the hot water before draining it down the drain.
Separately, it should be noted that the Navigator PG 5080B712 is controlled by an electronic system in Russian, with the possible help of a display that displays the operating time of the machine, the start delay time, the step-by-step process, and the speed of spinning the laundry. The display can indicate both the cause and the damage that occurred.
Italy – sun, temperament and quality
The Russian consumer is familiar with Italian products, at least by hearsay, ranging from famous and expensive products from the automobile industry to elegant hosiery. And washing machines were no exception. Washing machines assembled in Italy are popular products, and our consumers know several manufacturers.
Whirlpool - magical washing
Whirlpool is our most famous manufacturer of these products. Advertisements for washing machines fascinate with their fabulousness and futurism. And so, not so long ago, the manufacturer Whirlpool introduced a new Carizma series. The assembly takes place in one of the most beautiful cities in Italy - Naples. This series includes six models, which are not so different from one another. These are mainly spin intensity, touch control and a digital LCD display.
The most “advanced” Carizma models include Aquasteam 1400 and Aquasteam 1200, in which the numbers indicate the number of revolutions per minute during spinning. The name Aquasteam is also interesting, which means washing using steam.This is a completely innovative technology that allows you to achieve excellent washing results, even with heavily soiled laundry with a large number of stubborn stains. But the laundry is not subject to increased wear, since steam is introduced carefully during washing, which in turn allows use even for delicate delicate fabrics.
The developers have also used in this series an option such as steam processing, which makes it possible to:
- refresh clothes,
- remove odors,
- disinfect linen.
And all this without actually washing! This program is called Refresh, which means refreshment.
Whirlpool Carizma uses the so-called “sixth sense” technology, which the consumer was able to become familiar with in earlier Whirlpool models. This technology makes it possible to use electrical energy and water more rationally and economically. For this purpose, sensors are used that can analyze the workload and provide the optimal mode. This also applies to the consumption of powder or gel.
Comfort technology – Indesit
No less famous washing machines include Indesit. This manufacturer has not only been a household name for a long time, its products have long enjoyed well-deserved popularity. The latest version of Indesit Prime household appliances, which includes not only washing machines, but almost all household appliances.
The Indesit Prime PWE 7108 S (EU) washing machine is one of the latest new products in this series. This “Cinderella” is hardworking and skillful. It has many programs that differ in specific functionality, such as only washing shirts or jeans, etc. It washes both in cold water and in short cycles. Washing class - A.
Other options include saving energy and water, which, subject to Smart technology, operate quite effectively.
AEG-Electrolux – full functionality
If we review Swedish and German manufacturers, we cannot ignore AEG and Electrolux. Not long ago, AEG pleased consumers with the new LAVAMAT series, and in particular the full-size LAVAMAT 62840 L model.
Like all washing machines, it has many options that can be used wisely to wash clothes. But there is one caveat. What sets it apart from its “sisters” is the alternation of rinsing and spinning, which makes ironing less stressful, since after washing there are almost no bends or folds.
The developers were especially successful with the “delicate wash”. Its secret is in repeated rinsing of laundry, which prevents the negative effects of detergents on the skin after washing, and also preserves the durability of the products.
German quality, time-tested
No matter what household appliances from Germany you use, the consumer will always note the excellent quality and durability. It just so happens that the Germans do everything efficiently and reliably. Washing machines are no exception, and the history of the Siemens concern from Nauen confirms this.
Model Siemens WM16S74SOE
One of the latest models presented to Russian consumers is the Siemens WM16S74SOE washing machine, part of the iQdrive series. The first thing you pay attention to is the technical specifications. And the Germans would not be Germans if they had not brought their creation to perfection.
- Washing class A (high standard).
- The presence of a huge number of programs that include all the nuances of washing for each specific wash.
- Additional programs in the fight against stains.
- In the rinsing mode there are additional programs (3).
- Russian-language display.
- Self-cleaning containers for powders, etc.
- AntiVibration ensures reliable stability while the machine is operating.
- In the WM16S74SOE machine, everything is under control, from drum balancing to leak control with the AquaStop system.
The heart of the washing machine
But the main thing in the WM16S74SOE iQdrive is the motor, developed using innovative inverter technology, the heart of the washing machine. It is designed in such a way that the consumer does not think about electricity consumption. This is done automatically, + durability and noiselessness. The engine features varioPerfect technology, which allows the consumer to actually save time or energy. So, if you use the ecoPerfect option, Siemens WM16S74SOE will consume 0.13 kW per 1 kg of laundry loaded. Calculated as a percentage, this is 30% more economical, even in its class A.
And how after that, do not trust the quality German-assembled washing machines?
Sweden is a country of socialism with a human face
This, or something like this, was how M.S. spoke about Sweden at one time. Gorbachev (USSR). But be that as it may, Swedish ASKO washing machines from Gothenburg are known throughout the world.
ASKO W6863 – washing machine
ASKO W6863 was introduced in Russia in 2009, and managed to win the hearts of users, not only with its stylish design, but also with its functionality. ASKO W6863 is part of the Line Series and confirms all the quality indicators inherent not only to ASKO, but to the entire series as a whole. The main functionality of ASKO W6863 is the presence of programs that cope well with washing clothes, both for various purposes and the quality of fabrics.There is a pre-soaking option for heavily soiled items, which in turn ensures perfectly clean laundry. The anti-wrinkle option has been applied and a large number of rinses have been added to the mode.
The special pride of this product is its almost silent motor, which is made using induction, brushless technology. All functions are controlled by a microprocessor and electronics, and the ASKO W6863 can save previously entered settings.
Convenience and comfort
These are not just words for the Swedish washing machine ASKO W6863. The Russified display (LCD) informs about all stages of washing, the time until the end of the process, and, of course, about damage, if any. The user does not need to listen to whether the wash is finished or not. A sound indication will warn you about this, or about the delayed start time.
SensiSave - special sensors will ensure the correct energy consumption and water supply, taking into account the workload.
AquaBlockSystem, a patented technology from this Swedish manufacturer, protects the washing machine from leaks.
Washing machines, those presented in this review are not all manufacturers from Europe. Of course, there are many others, but these are the most popular and popular among consumers, and their cost is an additional advantage when choosing washing machines.

Why didn’t they write about the French Blomberg?
Türkiye is not Europe, that’s why they didn’t write it.
Why don’t they write where you can buy them in Russia?
Too much pathos. There is more and more junk among German and Italian washing machines, which affects the consumer...
Everything has been assembled in Russia and China for a long time... and the native assembly costs exorbitant amounts of money. IMHO
