Eurosoba washing machines, compared to other European brands, are not popular with our consumers. But the reason for the low demand is not at all the high cost or poor quality, but the lack of advertising. The manufacturer does not spend money on promotion, and its products are cheaper. And the one who is looking for a compact washing machine on the net, and with a probability of 99%, will stumble upon the models offered by this company.
Country of origin “Evrosoba”
Eurosoba is a Swiss manufacturer resulting from the merger of Eudora and its dealer Soba Trading. Since 2004, automatic washing machines (SMA) have been sold in Russia. One of the main bets of the manufacturer is quality. CMA is produced in Switzerland. Trademarks of this country are in a “privileged” position. Swiss manufacturers throughout their history have created such a reserve of quality that today products manufactured in this country do not need advertising.
Device SMA EuroSOBA
The main difference between all Eurosoba washing machines is the size. The brand offers small-sized washers. Looking at a small car, it immediately becomes clear – it will just fit under the sink. Swiss washers are ideal for tight spaces and small families.
The same company also produces sinks of a special design – for their washing machines. There are also kitchen sets among the brand’s products – a tiny machine can be put in a closet.
Despite their small size, Eurosoba SMAs have full-fledged functionality. Moreover, they surpass many full-size devices in terms of the quality of components and assembly.
Benefits and features:
- Compactness. The maximum height is 68–69 cm, which is 17–20 cm higher than the standards. Depth and width – 45-46 cm, which is comparable to narrow full-size cars.
- Loading. New models with the same dimensions have a load of not 3, but 4 kg. This is enough to serve a small family.
- The weight. Babies weigh 2-3 times less than full-size devices. Their weight is from 36 to 50 kg. They are easy to carry, transport, reinstall. Moreover, one of the models – Eurosoba 600 – is even equipped with special handles to make it easier to carry. All machines are on wheels.
- Shell set. The main concept of manufactured SMAs is machines for installation under the sink. So that the consumer does not have problems with placement, the manufacturer produces special “water lily” sinks with different designs.
- Durable coating. The case has a special super-durable coating – it is not erased throughout the entire period of operation.
- Easy management. There is a convenient panel with rotary handles.
- Durable and durable tanks. All SMA tanks are made of stainless steel.
- Multicolored panels. The manufacturer offers interchangeable color panels. You can change the color of your car without calling the wizard, changing the panel is very easy. Available in red, blue, yellow, white, green, black and silver.
Disadvantages:
- Limited choice. The manufacturer offers only a few models. But given the dimensions and the tasks set – it is good to wash, not break and take up a minimum of space, this state of affairs is the most appropriate.
- High price. Consumers do not want to buy a small car at a price of 40–000 rubles. For this money you can buy a full-size European-made device.
- Expensive renovation. The device is designed for many years of service, but if a breakdown does occur, repair is problematic. Spare parts are expensive and they are ordered from a factory located in Austria. “Eurobobs” are unpopular with the Russian consumer, who prefers to wash less often and immediately for the whole family, so many workshops do not undertake to repair them.
- Limited functionality. Many models are devoid of features that the consumer is already accustomed to. So, for example, there are baby cars without a timer, display, drying, high-quality spin.
- Small load. This is a moot point. Those who do not wash clothes in large volumes buy a small-sized model – for example, single people or a family of 2 people.
Service life of CMA Eurosoba is at least 15 years. Competitors producing compact models have no more than 6 years.
Overview of models and customer reviews
There are only a few modifications to choose from. All of them are small-sized, with a load of 3, 3,5 and 4 kg. The brand produces three levels of CMA:
- Economy: EuroSOBA 600 and 1000.
- Middle class: 1100 sprint.
- Top models: 1100 sprint plus and INOX.
The manufacturer, in addition to white models, offers several more options. Cars of different colors are marked:
- silver (stainless steel) – Inox;
- black and white – B&W;
- black and silver – B&S.
Washing equipment manufactured by a Swiss company is sold under different brands – Eurosoba, Soba, Euronova (Evronova), Babynova, Eumenia. Having different names, the devices are almost identical.
All “Evrosoba” have a front-loading and stainless steel tank, so when considering machines, we will not clarify these points each time. These small-sized SMAs do not have drying.
Eurosoba 1000 – with a good spin
SMA for installation under a washbasin or countertop. The body is galvanized and powder coated. Management is mechanical. Weighs 50 kg. The hatch opens 180 degrees.
- Capacity: 4 kg.
- Water consumption: 36 l.
- Spin speed: 1000 rpm.
- Number of programs: 12 pcs. (including washing delicate fabrics, quick wash, prewash, stain removal program).
- Energy efficiency class: A+.
- Washing / spinning classes: A / B.
- Safety: partial leakage protection, child protection, imbalance and foam control.
- Dimensions (WxDxH): 46x46x68 cm.
Pros:
- There are programs for washing delicate fabrics – wool and silk.
- There is a compartment for liquid detergent.
- A bioenzymatic phase is provided.
- Low noise level. When washing – 44 dB, when spinning – 61 dB, which is 10-12 dB lower than that of conventional machines.
- There is a choice of washing temperature.
- High quality wash.
- Economical water consumption.
- Good spin. Linen after washing is almost dry, you can hang it up or, after ironing it, immediately put it in the closet.
- Does not vibrate even at maximum speed. Works extremely quietly.
Users noted the following shortcomings:
- Plastic trim.
- Fault during door opening. When the door was switched to the “key”, the program was launched. I had to contact the service.
- Inconvenient management. Mechanical handles are not only flimsy, but can also be scrolled. Users complain that they are not sure whether they set this or that program correctly.
This is the most popular CMA Eurosoba among Russian consumers. Many users admit that at first they were frightened off by the cost of the device, the stereotype worked – a small-sized one should cost less. In the case of Swiss quality, this is not the case – an adequate price is set for long uninterrupted operation, high-quality assembly and materials. Users confirm that the machine is used daily, which does not prevent it from working for years without breakdowns and failures. The main advantages of this modification are reliability and almost dry laundry at the output.
The weak point of this CMA, according to consumers, is plastic parts. They look unpresentable, and can fail – for example, control knobs. (Yes… that’s Swiss quality for you.)
Eurosoba 600 – budget option
The smallest, cheapest and least spacious of the entire model range. For installation under a washbasin. The hatch opens to the right. The body is galvanized and painted with enamel.

- Simple operation – only three knobs. Easy to understand, learn to manage and not break anything.
- Qualitatively washes out the powder – if not put in excess.
Observed shortcomings:
- Strong vibrations on the spin cycle – the machine “leaves”. This is observed with incomplete loading – the user writes. The solution is to use rubber mats.
- No child protection.
- No wash delay.
Many users note that their “six hundred” work for 10-15 years. No breakage. Previously, these washers were called “Evronova”. Some consumers think that the price is too high, while others, on the contrary, believe that the declared fee is low for high quality. The main disadvantage, according to consumer reviews, is vibrations, a small machine can vibrate and shift on its small wheels. Many also do not like mechanical control – everyone is used to electronics.
Eurosoba 1100 Sprint Plus – high energy class

- There are no vibrations and extraneous noise.
- Consumes electricity economically.
- The presence of an electronic display. It is convenient to manage and select programs.
In this modification, users could not find any drawbacks, except for the price. But, in principle, they consider it justified – the car is really worth the money. You just throw in 4 kg of dirty laundry every day, take out almost dry clothes, and at the same time your washing machine does not create problems for you, does not break and does not make noise.

One user accused the manufacturer of insufficient design reliability. According to him, studs made of ordinary carbon steel are placed in the drum. They rusted after 5 years. The tank was cut with a hairpin and leaked. Repair cost 14 thousand rubles. How true this message is is unknown, but the masters of the warranty service immediately became interested in the breakdown.
95% of consumers are extremely positive about this modification. They are satisfied with the combination of price and quality, as well as the absence of breakdowns. Particularly satisfied are the owners of small-sized apartments, who solved the problem of washing without losing a single meter of free space.
Summing-up
