Is it worth buying an Atlant washing machine?
Belarusian washing machines are gaining popularity. Their low cost attracts consumers; moreover, over the past 3-5 years, the brand has modernized production, improving build quality and reducing the percentage of defects by a third. But the question remains open: is it worth buying an Atlant machine or is it better not to take risks and choose a trusted company? We suggest you figure out once and for all how good Atlanta washing machines are and whether it’s worth saving. We will focus on the advantages, disadvantages and review of the brand’s top-end machines.
Pros and cons of Atlant machines
It makes no sense to compare Belarusian washing machines with world leaders. In terms of build quality, design and functionality, Atlant does not reach Bosch, Samsung or Electrolux, but in its segment of budget equipment it has its advantages. The main advantages of the “Belarusian” are considered to be low cost and relative reliability.. Unlike cheap Beko and Indesit, this brand works properly for 7-8 years.
But there are also a number of serious disadvantages that should be taken into account when choosing a manufacturer.
- Simple functionality. The Atlant washing machines produced are distinguished by a modest range of capabilities and functions. Machines do not support many modern technologies, offering the user a standard base for regular washing without an abundance of programs and options.
- Unpretentious design. Among the Atlanta models, it is difficult to find stylish, newfangled options with lighting and decor. The plant produces classic machines in white without unnecessary parts.
- "Weak" electronics. This is the problem area of all budget washing machines.Yes, the control board works for a long time without failures, but technical errors in the electronic “part” are possible. Consumers also speak negatively about the inconvenient control and cancellation of the activated mode. You will not be pleased with the instructions, which do not contain enough information to solve complex issues.
- Increased noise level. According to the manufacturer, the equipment produces a maximum of 76-78 dB during spinning, but consumers complain about 90-95 dB. It’s difficult to say which side is true, but it’s better to take into account that in reality the outgoing vibrations may be stronger than expected.
Consumers complain that in reality Atlant machines make noise of 90-95 dB, although the manufacturer claims a maximum of 76-78 dB.
- Low spin quality. Atlanta owners are often dissatisfied with the growing momentum.
To summarize, Atlant washing machines for the budget segment are made at a fairly high level. According to experts, machines released after 2017 are superior in quality to earlier “versions” and are capable of working for at least 7-8 years. At a low cost, such a service life is admirable. The main thing is not to expect superpowers and technological equipment from cheap equipment. Another nuance - it is recommended to take models manufactured after 2018.
The best Atlant technology
Judging by the advantages and disadvantages, Atlant offers good quality at a low cost. But it’s better not to focus only on the brand, but to look at specific models. Below is a brief overview of the four most popular machines from this manufacturer.
Among the brand leaders is Atlant 40M102. This is a free-standing front-facing machine with a maximum load of up to 4 kg. Made in a standard white design and equipped with electronic control with a digital display. Atlant differs from other models in its compactness, since the body depth does not exceed 33 cm. As for the remaining characteristics, the list is as follows:
- energy consumption class A+;
- spin up to 1000 rpm with varying speed until cancelled;
- there is no protection against leaks and accidental pressing;
- automatic control of imbalance and foam formation;
- 15 programs, including “Wool”, “Delicate”, “Fast”, “Preliminary”, “Sports”;
- delayed start for 24 hours;
- noise level 59-74 dB;
- washing sound.
Many people advise taking Atlant 50U107 from the Multi Function line. This machine is frontal and has a removable cover, which makes it easier to subsequently integrate the equipment into a set or under the sink. The maximum load is limited to 5 kg, while the dimensions remain modest: 60 cm width, 42 cm depth and 85 cm height. The color is white, and in the center there is a black horizontal display.
Unlike the previous model, Atlant 50U107 boasts expanded functionality. Firstly, the manufacturer has strengthened safety by providing partial protection of the case from water and child locking of the panel. Secondly, there is a night mode, which provides a quieter and more gentle wash. Thirdly, it became possible to stop the machine with water in the tank. Other options are also preserved: delayed start up to 24 hours, sound, electronic control.
The average cost of Atlant washing machines is 15,000 rubles.
Can be built into furniture and Atlant 70С105-00. This is another free-standing front camera, but with increased capacity to 7 kg. The controls are also electronic, there is a character display, and the depth of the case is 48.2 cm. Other characteristics and capabilities are as follows:
- increased energy consumption class – A+++;
- washing efficiency level A;
- spin speed up to 1000 rpm;
- complete protection against leaks;
- child lock;
- automatic control of imbalance and foam formation.
There are only 11 modes on the Atlant 70С105-00. But among them are all the basic programs: delicate, children's, denim, sports, fast, preliminary, as well as stain removal and super-rinse. An interesting addition is the “anti-allergy” option, which offers thorough rinsing over several cycles. The manufacturer provides a three-year warranty for this machine.
Another popular Atlanta frontal model from the “Smart/Action” line is 60С1010. Its distinctive feature is a design that is non-standard for the manufacturer: a snow-white body and a contrasting black hatch. The washing machine can hold up to 6 kg of dry laundry and delights the user with intelligent control and a digital display. In terms of dimensions, this machine is considered full-size: width – 60 cm, depth – 48 cm, and height – 85 cm.
In terms of operational characteristics, the unit is not inferior to its “competitors”. Energy consumption class A++, spin speed up to 1000 rpm, partial protection against leaks, child lock and delayed start of 24 hours. There are 16 programs, including mixed mode, washing outerwear and soaking.
If there is no desire or opportunity to purchase equipment from top brands, then Atlant will be a good budget alternative. The main thing is to adequately assess the capabilities of the machine and extend its service life through proper operation.
