1 LG

Do not include the Korean company LG in the rating would be a big mistake from our side. True to its traditions, it still creates washing machines that are available to the average consumer, thanks to which they are placed in an honorable third place. However, the company's assets can bring not only the optimal cost of production - the quality and performance of the models also leaves an exceptionally pleasant impression.

LG's assets include many successful and successful washing machines, however, according to users, the most striking of them are the LG F-10M8MD, F-12U2HFNA and FH-4A8TDS4 models. Externally flawless, they have different technical characteristics. So, LG F-10M8MD is designed for effective (class A) washing up to 5.5 kilograms of linen with practically optimal energy consumption. Spinning occurs at an acceptable 1000 revolutions per minute, and 13 programs and 10 additional wash modes are stored in the device's memory. A distinctive feature of the LG F-12U2HFNA is an enlarged drum with a capacity of 7 kilograms, alternative (sensory) control, and improvements in terms of applied technologies. The latest model, LG FH-4A8TDS4 - is a new milestone in the development of high-quality budget equipment. Its energy consumption is not classifiable (but denoted as A +++), since it is very small. And in other indicators, whether it is spinning (1,400 revolutions per minute) or drum capacity (8 kilograms), it exceeds the above described washing machines.

Despite such a variety and advantages in the form of high reliability, good performance and low cost, the line of washing machines from LG has one major drawback: all budget models use a large amount of water when washing.

The best manufacturers of washing machines in the middle price category

3 Siemens

The products of the German concern Siemens are distinguished by a balance in the "price-quality" ratio. This means that each consumer can purchase a washing machine of acceptable quality at an affordable price.

In general, the line of narrow models is a good device with good performance. For example, Siemens WS 12T440, being a machine with a depth of 45 centimeters, contains a drum designed for 7 kilograms of linen. Moderately economical (consumes 38 liters of water per wash and has the highest energy consumption class), moderately technological, this model is an ideal budget option with a high degree of protection and high technical capabilities.

But more tangible success of the company in the production of wide and spacious washing machines. In this segment, the choice of users often stops on the Siemens WM 12T440 model. Her load is an impressive 9 kilograms, and washing takes place at very low energy consumption and water consumption. But not even these characteristics are captivating consumers. The washing machine is a true work of art: silent, reliable, technological and supereconomic.

Perhaps, Siemens products are the case when the shortcomings of individual models cannot be blamed on the entire line. Yes, and a set of advantages more than covers the rare complaints that may arise during the operation.

2 Samsung

The South Korean company Samsung is a real giant in the production of household appliances and electronics. A distinctive feature of washing machines of this brand is a stylish design, simple and intuitive control interface, as well as high reliability. In terms of the number of models presented in most price categories, no other company can compete with Samsung. This is not surprising - the Korean company seeks to get as large a share of the market of washing machines as possible by offering consumers high-quality and intuitively simple household appliances, regardless of its cost.

A worthy representative of the company is the model Samsung WW60H2220EW - a narrow washing machine of the average price category, developed using proprietary technologies. It includes 12 standard modes and 11 additional washing programs for all cases of unpredictable life. The Diamond drum (the company's innovation) holds up to 6 kilograms of laundry, with a standard wash of only 39 liters of water. Regarding the energy efficiency of the washing machine, everything is also in order - it has the highest rate of A ++. Among the shortcomings, it may be noted that the increased level of noise emitted during the standard wash cycle is 61 dB. The rest of the model deserves praise and is rightfully one of the best representatives of Samsung.

Also noteworthy is the more affordable Samsung WF60F1R2F2W washing machine and the more cost-effective Samsung WF80F UDW4W, which are in great demand among consumers.

But, despite the obvious advantages, over time, even Korean washing machines show their disadvantages. In this case, they lie in the following:

• during intensive operation there is a catastrophic wear of plastic and rubber parts, as well as a violation of the tightness of the loading door;
• Due to frequent changes in the supply network, the electronics may not withstand the resulting side loads.

1 Bosch

A full first place in the middle price category goes to Bosch, the best European manufacturer of washing machines. Absolutely all the models in the product line of this company are functional, high-quality, modern and very reliable. The very brand of the manufacturer is already a full guarantee of quality and long work. Every detail before assembling passes a strict quality control test.In many respects because of this, Bosch received the first place in our rating.

The second reason why the main prize should have been given to this particular company is the best built-in washing machines. In this category, the Bosch WKD 28541 model deserves special attention. It received high user ratings and approval from recognized quality experts. Despite the B-class power consumption, in other aspects, the device has received the highest marks. Spin is performed at a drum speed of 1,400 revolutions per minute and has a performance mark A, as well as a wash quality parameter. The drum of the washing machine contains up to 7 kilograms of linen, and the equipped drying - up to 4 kilograms. In addition, it is ideal for those who have problems with allergies - thanks to the anti-allergy program, all possible pathogens are removed from things. Similarly, high marks and complementary user reviews received Bosch WIS 28440 embedded washing machine.

Deprived of its flaws, the Bosch technique is a striking collection of advantages. And let each of the manufacturers showed good results, this company rightly became the best among equals.
