My washing machine went out of order: how I chose a new one and what did I pay attention to this time so that I would not regret it later
Recently my washing machine broke down. Agree, a nuisance.
I started looking for a new brand. The previous one was standard by 60 cm, so I wanted to buy a narrow one so that there was additional free space in the bathroom.
Important
❏ size
❏ loading
❏ programs
❏ mechanical control
The old model had a display with an audible signal. You can find out how much is left until the end of the wash, which number is set. Sometimes the scoreboard showed the wrong time, it hung up. The decision was to buy without unnecessary functions, not to overpay for them.
Choice
Perfect fit - Indesit IWUB 4085
Narrow-40 centimeters. It has become more spacious in the bathroom.
Good loading weight is 4kg. When spinning 800 revolutions, it squeezes out fabrics more gently, especially those that are deformed.
Many options for washing sports shoes, clothes. When there are athletes in the family, the healthiest options are. I even washed my sneakers and house slippers; they got through their acquaintance with the machine.
I often put things to refresh for 15 minutes. While taking a shower, the laundry has been washed and can be hung.
Minus
A significant drawback is the powder tray cannot be removed. Everyone knows that the car must be washed, wiped clean so that there are no foreign odors. I have to clean all 3 compartments with a sponge.
pros
● budget
● economical
● not capricious in service, in handling
● required programs
● does not jump on the floor
● beautiful design
I take care of the typewriter. I wipe dry the drum, the seals. Chasing the empty one with a cleaning agent to wash the inside.
Someone will say that the lack of a touch screen is a significant problem - the time of the end of the process is not visible, in case of a breakdown, it will not show which error. But, sensors tend to fail frequently. The repair would then cost half the plane.
The lack of a sound signal is not a snag. Almost everyone knows the approximate time to wash.
Now I have a little helper for little money, I'm happy.
What type of car do you have: with a display or not? Which program is used most often?
