Kaiser washing machines
More than 15 years have passed since Kaiser brand household appliances appeared on the Russian market. And during this time, consumers have formed a very mixed opinion about this technology and about washing machines in particular. “Kaiser - German quality” is stated in advertising, but let’s see if it is really German.
Manufacturer Kaiser
The Kaiser brand belongs to the German company OLAN-Haushaltsgerate. However, in Germany itself they know nothing about such technology. There is also no detailed information about this company on the English-language Internet. And this suggests that Kaiser is a marketing ploy by Russian equipment manufacturers who registered the brand abroad in order to promote the brand due to the well-known quality of European goods and raise the price of the product for this.
According to some sources, the founder of the Kaiser brand is Pavel Loginov. The equipment production plant is located in Poland, and the legal address is registered in Germany. But this does not mean that washing machines are so reliable. It is also noteworthy that production is mainly focused not on European consumers, but on consumers from Russia and the CIS. Probably because “our” person can “snuggle” anything he wants.
Conclusion! Kaiser washing machines are not of German origin; they are Russian or Polish assembled goods.
Model overview
Among the features of Kaiser washing machines, it is worth noting the recirculation system, which reduces the consumption of detergents by 20%. The machines also use high-quality, non-corroding metal for the manufacture of dynamic components. Another feature is the degree of opening of the drum hatch, which is 1800, which makes loading laundry very convenient. Let's look at some of the most successful washing machine models from Kaiser.
Kaiser WT 36312 – washing machine with drying function, designed for washing 8 kg of laundry and drying 3 kg. The machine is full-sized with electronic control. In addition to the main programs, there are special ones, for example, anti-crease and direct injection. The machine uses a bio-enzyme phase that promotes rapid dissolution of the powder. Disadvantages include capricious electronics and inconvenient buttons on the control panel. For such a model you will have to pay only about 40 thousand rubles.
Kaiser W 36212 - this washing machine is similar to the previous one, also designed for 8 kg of laundry. Its difference lies in the absence of a drying function. What makes it worth 3 thousand rubles. cheaper. In general, the set of programs is the same. In terms of functionality, it is a good option for a large family.
Kaiser W 34210 NTL is a top-loading washing machine with the ability to wash up to 5 kg of laundry and spin speed up to 1200 rpm. It has 13 washing programs, including washing delicate fabrics. There is also a built-in laundry auto-weighing system and partial protection against leaks. You can buy such a machine, equipped with everything you need, for 30 thousand rubles.
For your information! There are very few offers of washing machines of this brand in Russian online stores, perhaps this is not accidental, draw your own conclusions.
Reviews of Kaiser machines

I used Kaiser W 34110 for 3 years, then the machine broke down. They asked for $80 for repairs, which made me think about buying a new washing machine. The conclusion is that the quality does not correspond to what was declared, another deception.You expect more from the “Germans” than three years of work.

Kaiser is complete garbage, not German quality. I’ve been using the Kaiser W34208NTL machine for only 7 months and I’m already dreaming of getting rid of it. I managed to buy it, it doesn’t wash cotton items, the washing mode is 950C doesn't work the electronics periodically glitch, you have to often turn off the machine and then turn it on again. I want to change this miracle to LG or Electrolux. People, don’t buy this kind of equipment, Kaiser only sounds serious, in fact it’s complete nonsense.

My husband gave me a gift last year. Machine Kaiser W4610TL. An excellent German unit, this is not some “Korean”, it washes things in one go. Of course, I don’t use all the washing modes; I use quick wash, quick cotton, and a couple or three more modes. It washes and whitens underwear and white children's clothes well. It is good for washing down jackets and pastels; it wrings out amazingly well. I recommend this excellent washing machine to everyone.

I want to give advice to people who want to buy a washing machine Kaiser W36310. I don’t want to scold anyone, but emotions are overwhelming. In our case, it's money down the drain. We bought a machine for a new house, it so happened that it stood idle for some time, then they called a technician, he hooked it up for us and put it to work. For the first 2 months I washed normally, only there was a lot of undissolved powder left in the tray, then it went and went. The heating element broke, and then the machine stopped turning on altogether. We don't know what to do with her now. I do not recommend this model to anyone.
So, Kaiser washing machines have mixed reviews among consumers; some consider the machines too expensive and unreliable, while others, on the contrary, are happy with the quality of the wash. But the manufacturer himself hides a lot, so it depends on your luck. The models are different, and apparently so is the quality of the components. Good luck with your choice!

I have been using Kaiser 36212 SMA for 4 years now. Very satisfied.
I have been using Kaiser W 44110 G for 6 years. Everything works, no problems. It washes perfectly.
The Kaiser W42.08 machine recently broke down and worked like a tank for 12 years. The mechanics are excellent, the tank and drum are completely made of stainless steel, the belt does not slip off, the bearings are normal, the “brains” have failed. I stood with the cover removed under the countertop in the kitchen, there were no problems with it. It's a pity.
Mine is 20 years old and still works, it doesn’t read some programs and that’s it. I am a winner!
Kaiser W 59.08Te. 15 years. Repairable. I changed the heating element. I removed and cleaned the bypass valve, changed the brushes to electric ones. engine, the drum bearing began to creak. They don't make things like that anymore!
Help with instructions. I can't figure out the laundry. And it still doesn't drain the water completely. The spin doesn't work. Not washing, but some kind of horror
Kaiser W6T 106 machine, not only the drum, but also the tank is made of stainless steel! I worked for 18 years, and just now I had to replace the drain pump, I’m going to change the brushes on the engine: the total cost is $10. Do they make washing machines like this now? I doubt.
kaiser w45.08tl10 – sawed every day for 22 years. During this time, the lid lock broke. Threw it away. It continues to work. Now it started jumping, the shock absorbers of the tank were covered. And it's amazing how long they lasted. I think I'll change it and let it continue. I don't know anyone who has a washing machine with that mileage. Now they say they are driving away the crap.
I bought a Kaiser washing machine back in 1998. The documents were in different languages, including Russian. It says made in Germany, Berlin. 1000 rpm, 4.5 kg. It still works. The only downside is that when you load heavy things, you have to sit on the machine when it starts to wring out. Otherwise it vibrates a lot. But I don’t have it screwed to the floor, maybe that’s why.
