Leran washing machines are inexpensive appliances, about which nothing is really known. We will find out what this brand offers, who owns it and where the devices themselves are assembled.
Leran is a brand of which country?
The name of the brand, caressing the ear, hinting at “European origin”, belongs to the Chelyabinsk company “RBT”. LERAN- Russian brand, under which a wide variety of household appliances are sold on the domestic market – from floor scales and coffee grinders to washing machines and refrigerators. A company from Chelyabinsk launched the brand in 2010. RBT itself is well known as a manufacturer of electronics and home appliances. In addition to Leran, the Russian company RBT owns the Doffler and Ardin brands.
Leran automatic washing machines are a joint Russian-Chinese product oriented to domestic consumption. The manufacturer offers goods at reasonable prices, which hopes to attract undemanding consumers who do not delve into the nuances of the production of equipment.
The RBT service center is located only in Chelyabinsk.

There are no specific reviews on the operation of the model on the network. It seems that everyone who bought such a washing machine hides this fact, not being able to explain their act – what exactly prompted them to buy a washing machine from the Chelyabinsk company + Chinese manufacturer tandem.
The WMS-1267WD model is slightly narrower than the one described above (by 1 cm), but the main thing is that it provides protection against leaks. Users generally respond well to this version. They write that it works quietly and squeezes well, does not vibrate at high speeds. One of the owners, on the contrary, noted that she had no advantages, but he could be understood, since the pump burned out in the SMA he bought after 9 months of operation. And repairing such a breakdown is expensive.
Leran WMXS-10632WD2 – super narrow
Another frontal machine with electronic control and digital display. Weight – 60 kg. There is no drying. There is a timer up to 24 hours. The loading door opens 180 degrees.

- Washing / spinning classes: A / C.
- Safety: Childproof, imbalance and foam control.
- Noise level (wash/spin): 56/75 dB.
- Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x34x85 cm.
The model is not so deep, but weighs more than the previous one. It has fewer programs, but the load is solid – 6 kg. And here, as if by agreement, consumers remain silent. In a few reviews, we learn that the machine is noisy – which is natural, taking into account decibels, but it washes and wringes well. Management is clear, and installation does not cause difficulties.
WML 9714K WD3 – Heavy Load
Full size washing machine with intelligent control and digital display. Weight – 74 kg.
- Capacity: 10 kg.
- Spin speed: 1400 rpm.

- Energy efficiency class: A+++.
- Washing / spinning classes: A / B.
- Safety: Childproof, imbalance and foam control.
- Noise level (wash/spin): 56/79 dB.
- Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x66x85 cm.
This is one of the most spacious and expensive cars. It is bulky compared to the previous ones, but it has a large load, many programs and high spin speeds. This is an option designed for a large family or a small boarding house. But there is no drying in this model either. This model, unlike many Leran SMAs, is completely leak-proof.
WMS-0850W – Minimum Load
The smallest download version in the Leran line. Here is an intelligent control type. There is no display, but the panel has all the necessary buttons and a mode switch. Weight – 60 kg.
- Capacity: 5 kg.
- Spin speed: 800 rpm.
- Number of programs: 9 pcs. (including washing delicate fabrics, quick wash, prewash, stain removal program).
- Energy efficiency class: A++.
- Washing / spinning classes: A / D.
- Safety: Leak proof, child proof, imbalance and foam control.
- Noise level (wash/spin): 57/77 dB.
- Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x45x85 cm.
This machine did not arouse the approval of its owners. It is obvious that they regret that they were seduced by cheapness. However, for 16 rubles one could buy some inexpensive Italian washing machine. No advantages were found for this machine – it is inferior to competitors in all respects. Consumers noted the poor build quality, “clumsy design” and “sad warranty service” (quotes).
One of the “happy” owners of this “total shortcoming” is justified – he bought this miracle technology for a promotion, almost as a burden to the refrigerator and microwave of the same company. Moreover, the user has no complaints about the quality of the latter.
WMS 53147 WD2 – with leakage protection
Stand-alone standard size front camera. Drying is not provided. There is a display and convenient buttons on the electronic control panel. Weight – 69 kg. Washing can be delayed up to 24 hours using the timer. There is also a drum cleaning function.
- Capacity: 7 kg.
- Spin speed: 1400 rpm.
- Number of programs: 15 pcs. (including sportswear, down clothes, mixed fabrics, super rinse).
- Energy efficiency class: A+++.
- Washing / spinning classes: A / B.
- Safety: Leak proof, child proof, imbalance and foam control.
- Noise level (wash/spin): 57/77 dB.
- Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x52x85 cm.
The advantage of this CMA is complete protection against leaks and the function of cleaning the drum. The washer washes clothes well, stable, does not vibrate. There are complaints about loud noise during spinning.
The narrow washer WMS-13127WD is practically similar to the considered modification. She, unlike the WMS 53147 WD2, has lower revolutions – up to 1200 per minute, fewer programs – 8 pieces and a lower price – 17 rubles.
WAD-9914K WD3 – with dryer
Stand-alone CMA with a large load and timed drying. Control type – electronic. The display is. The device weighs 74 kg. There is a self-cleaning function of the drum.
- Capacity: 10 kg.
- Drying: up to 7 kg.
- Spin speed: 1400 rpm.
- Number of programs: 16 pcs. (including jeans, mixed fabrics, super rinse, quick wash).
- Energy efficiency class: A.
- Washing / spinning classes: A / B.
- Safety: Leak proof, child proof, imbalance and foam control.
- Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x66x85 cm.
There are no noise characteristics for this modification even on the company’s website. Therefore, one can only guess about the decibels it gives out. This SMA, unlike all other Leran washers, is equipped with a dryer. Having the same load with the WML 9714K WD3, the WAD-9914K WD3 costs about 4000 rubles more, which is about the cost of having a dryer. Of course, in the energy consumption class, CMA with a dryer is inferior to analogues that do not have such an option.
Conclusions
After looking at the models, reading the instructions, reviews of specialists and consumers, we summarize:
- Washers “Leran” break down with the same frequency as any other equipment of this level.
- The technique is made in China. And especially for the Russian consumer. Anything can be expected from such SMAs. Some work for some time without failures, others break in the very first days. Moreover, the cause of the breakdown can be both a factory defect and a violation of operating standards.
- SMA “Leran” do not claim the title of “super technology” – these are inexpensive machines designed for several years of washing. Well, if something breaks in them, then “it doesn’t happen to anyone” – the RBT company will say.
- The manufacturer relies on narrow cars – the range is inexpensive, which means that the buyer will certainly be interested in a small device.
- The manufacturer provided for drying in one modification. This option significantly increases the cost of SMA.
Looking at the brand’s prices, it’s hard to say what arguments buyers should give up in favor of Leran from “Kandy“,”Indesite” or “Bosch“. Perhaps washing machines from RBT are interesting to residents of the Chelyabinsk region – because of the proximity of the service center. We tried to find out as much as possible about Leran washing machines, and it’s up to you to take them or not.
