Conclusions
Summing up:
- All SELECLINE models are frontal. Drying in these inexpensive washing machines is not provided. Functionality – limited to the simplest options and modes.
- The tanks of all models are made of plastic – this is not a drawback, especially in budget versions there are no others. Plastic tanks are now actively used in medium-priced SMAs, they reduce the noise level and reduce the cost of the devices.
SELECLINE cars are from the category of “cheap and cheerful”. Even the appearance of these washing machines informs consumers about the budget – the manufacturer does not try to mask the flaws behind a beautiful facade. The considered brand adequately represents both economy cars and the largest network of Auchan hypermarkets.
