Rating of washing machines by quality and reliability - review of brands

In this article about the best washing machines in terms of reliability and quality in 2017, we will tell you about the rating of various washing machine manufacturers in terms of reliability.

It was compiled carefully based on customer reviews. In addition, it was compiled on the basis of breakdowns, which were eliminated in the service centers.

How to Spend Money Wisely

How to choose the right equipment for your home?

We, like everyone else, always want to make a choice in favor of something good, no matter what kind of appliances we buy.

If you have the intention to spend a certain amount of money, we go to the store, trying to choose a model to our liking, not forgetting also to listen to the advice of a sales assistant.

We want to note that relying on your inner voice when choosing equipment is risky enough, as well as to trust the opinion of salespeople. You are adults and are well aware that this person needs to sell something more expensive, because his salary will depend on it.

Better you spend a lot of money wisely, after searching for materials and reviews on the Internet, rather than spend money and nerves, when a couple of months after the purchase will beat around the doors of service centers.

All the details and characteristics about each brand you are interested in you can see in the model descriptions.

And do not worry, lovers of ergonomic and beautiful home appliances, photo and video reviews you can also find on the Internet.

The only difficulty is that you are unlikely to find an objective opinion on the reliability of this machine, but the truth and sales consultants at local stores are unlikely to help you in this.

Visit special forums and resources with reviews of washing machine users will be quite useful. But since there is no generalized information, you will be able to see a lot of, for the most part, conflicting opinions.

But who will you believe, and is it even worth it? After all, behind each opinion is a new person with his experience, or vice versa, behind a good review is a person who posted this text for the money paid to him by the company-manufacturer. As you can see, finding the best washing machine is difficult enough.

Analyze the information from the forums

After you get some information from various forums, reviews and other information, you should turn to polls or to the employees of the service centers.

In the centers, whose statistics are the focus of our article today, there are thousands of repairs per year. Also, after each repair, both positive and negative feedback is recorded.

That is why we are not afraid to take responsibility and make a rating of washing machines of all kinds of brands on the quality and reliability of each of them.

We trust the experts.

For several years, employees of all kinds of service and maintenance centers collected rating statistics on the quality of all washing machines.

Factors for rating machine reliability

The following factors were taken into consideration:

1. Frequency and number of calls with breakdowns of this type.
2. The level of complexity of the repair.
3. Cost of repair (replacement of parts).
4. And other factors.

Data for reliability rating of machines

We took into account in our reliability rating:

• Cost.
• Service life of the device at the most intensive operation.
• The level of quality of the parts used.
• Properties and additional features of the designs.
• Level of build quality.

We took into account the designs with spin modes and power consumption by classes from "A+" to "B". The "C" marking was not taken into account at all.

In this ranking, the washing machines are lined up not by their number of sales, as not everyone is ready to give a large sum of money for a machine, which he needs only for washing.

All of the data was based on the trouble-free service life of a three-year period from the date of purchase.

In addition, we decided not to consider and not to include in the list such brands as "Smeg", "Schulthess" and other barely common models in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Brand review, ranking

Miele out of the rankings.

Meile represent the technique from the German manufacturer of the premium class, the high cost of which is determined by the high quality, warranty and build quality.

1st place. BOSCH and Siemеns.

The honorable first place in the top of the best washing machines belongs to the German manufacturers Bosch ("Boss") and Siemens ("Siemens") (in the table, these two brands are combined into one, called Bosch).

Failure factors in the first few years does not cross the bar of 5%.

The price to quality ratio is simply remarkable.

2nd place. Elastronuch .

Only half a percent behind Bosch is Electrolux (Elestroluch).

Electrolux is in second place.

Third place. Zanussi

The Zanussi brand ("Zanussi"), which is produced by the Electrolux concern, confidently took third place.

By the way, the rating was compiled on the basis of customer feedback. The number of repairs performed with Zanussi does not exceed 7.1%.

The 4th and 5th places are. LG and Samsung.

Algy ("LG") and Samsung ("Samsung") are quite good machines of the Korean manufacturer.

They have an affordable price and a huge range of models.

For this, these brands get the fourth and fifth place.

The number of breakdowns of these models is about 9%.

The 6th, 7th and 8th places. Ariston, Indesit, ARDO.

In the past, the "Italians", which are now assembled by Russian plants: Ariston ("Ariston") - 20%, Indesit ("Indesit") - 25%, Ardo ("ARDO") - 32% took from sixth to eighth place.

The huge gap of 11% is justified by the unpredictable Russian assembly, which uses parts that are not of the best quality.

Unfortunately, most devices of these brands stop working 3-4 years after purchase.

But sometimes, if you are lucky, 20-30% of them will last up to 8-9 years of operation.

Each of the manufacturers tried to reduce the cost of production, which led to the deterioration of the quality of almost all brands. The graph is given in descending order.

Not included in the lineup

Candy, Veko, Rolsen, Retona

Kandy ("Kandy") did not get into our lineup at all because of its deteriorated quality of the devices from the new line.

But history has not forgotten the sturdiness and total reliability of the early production models.

The internal content of this brand is practically unappreciated in service centers.

Quite rightly we left out Beko ("Veko"), Rolsen ("Rolsen") and Retona ("Retona").

When choosing the best washing machine, do not forget to be interested in the quality and materials from which the tank is made.

Cheap models have a high probability of leaks, and repairs after the warranty ends are too expensive for such cheap machines. Therefore, they are much more likely to be disposed of than repaired.

By the way, in this case, sometimes it is really useful to read customer reviews on the presence of faults of a certain nature in the model you are attracted to.

If at the moment you are the owner of a cheap machine, then do not rush to upset. It is not a fact that it will break.

Try to provide the machine with proper care, and then there is every chance that it will serve you for many years.
