Selection criteria for a great washing machine that washes remarkably well even after 6 years
Tired of using a semi-automatic washing machine. It constantly had to be washed for a long time, because the engine was already old and weak. Wasn't attracted by hand-spinning of clothes, and poor quality of washing. White things had to be reached with hands the old fashioned way. Therefore, I decided to purchase an automatic washing machine.
My selection criteria
Since financial resources are not unlimited, I wanted to purchase powerful equipment that could wash at least 6 kg at a time, squeeze well and serve for a long time.
I had to study the Internet for several days to study the characteristics and reviews. Based on the reviews, it was decided to choose between:
· Indesit is a good economy option;
· Zanusi - high-quality equipment of average price;
· LG, Samsung - slightly more expensive, but with obvious advantages.
German brands were dropped immediately because of the price.
The choice fell on LG F10B8ND according to the following criteria:
1. Direct drive.
2. A large number of programs.
3. Good feedback.
4. Loading 6 kg.
5. Spin 1000 rpm.
LG F10B8ND advantages
For 6 years of operation, the machine has never failed. Once at the very beginning, an error popped up. Of course, I got scared, but it turned out that I just downloaded too few things. No more problems.
The bet on direct drive fully paid off, because a friend had a belt that had to be changed after 3 years of operation. Of course, not everyone will be satisfied with a depth of 50 cm, but my bathroom allows you to install equipment with such dimensions.
A very convenient control panel with a timer that accurately shows the washing time. I liked the large availability of programs for washing, especially the "30 minutes" mode. Using the panel, you can adjust the spin, temperature, amount of rinsing or spinning. Not all cars could boast of such a number of settings.
I was delighted with the child protection function. All buttons have hints, so I didn't even have to read the instructions. The delayed wash mode saved more than once. You can set manually exactly how long the machine should take to complete all programs. And the washer copes with this without any problems.
The tray has 3 compartments as usual. It is very easy to remove and does not get dirty in the powder, therefore it is easy to clean.
The legs of the car were a pleasant surprise. The floor is made from old Soviet tiles many years ago. Of course there is no level. But the direct drive works so harmoniously that there are no vibrations or are damped by the shock absorption of the legs. Who knows, tell me in the comments, please. Very interesting.
I know that corrosion appears in some devices for such a period of operation. But my SMA metal looks like new.
In general, I was very pleased with the purchase. Do you think, dear readers, maybe I was just lucky? Or all LG washing machines run stably and for a long time.
