Hiberg washing machines have not yet gained great popularity among the Russian consumer. The name of the new brand is easily confused with the Chinese brand Haier, moreover, it clearly indicates that it belongs to the famous German quality. We will find out where washing machines are actually made under the loud name “high mountain” (High and Verg in German) and what our consumer may be interested in them.
What brand is Heiberg?
HIBERG is a Russian brand that produces large household appliances. Products for this brand are produced by several leading corporations at once: Snowky, Hisense, Meling, Skyworth.

The Heiberg technique, according to the assurances of the brand owners, is adapted to the standards of the Russian Federation.

A small number of reviews copied from site to site, their dubious enthusiasm and the absence of even the slightest remarks indicate a complete lack of contact among those who wrote this model. Well, at least there was something to dislike. Even to Bosch and Samsung, people have complaints. Therefore, rummaging through the net, we tried to find reviews with specific conclusions. Most of the comments from consumers fall into the “cons” category.
Disadvantages:
- No leakage protection.
- When choosing a mode – with a black rotary knob, the mode is not highlighted. Points are simply drawn on the case – the user is indignant. You can easily “skip” past the desired mode.
- The spin is not of high quality – the laundry is damp.
- After washing, between the glass of the “porthole” and the rubber band there are small objects – socks, scarves, etc.
Users write that the design of the washer is very good – it looks like LG. The manufacturer tried to copy everything he could from the best brands – design, drum construction, etc., but such trifles as “black dots” betray its level. From a mile away you can see the desire to please cheaply, attract attention and even mislead – for example, with the name of the brand. In general, the reviews about the car are not bad – after several months of operation, what will happen in 2-3 years – we’ll see.

The model attracts with its design — a stylish golden typewriter looks extremely presentable, and loading is also impressive.

Nobody has yet written about the shortcomings of this model. There are enough positive reviews, but they are all suspiciously laudatory. From a washing machine for 25 rubles, they usually require impeccable work, and given the presence of negative comments, it is difficult to believe in the infallibility of this version.
The range also includes the WQ2-610 W model, it has the same characteristics as the previous model, but costs a couple of thousand less. The machines are almost identical, only the design of the control panel differs. In appearance, this model is a spitting image of LG, the Chinese masterfully copied the machine.

Conclusions
Summing up:
- CMA Hiberg are made in China. The Chinese manufacturer either underestimates our consumers, or relies on its niche – buyers greedy for promises and beautiful design. So, for example, in the characteristics on the official website of the brand it is indicated that the drum is made of stainless steel. But all SMAs are made of stainless steel, but tank from Chinese plastic cars. This was modestly kept silent on the site, although there is nothing special about it – today most middle-class washers have a plastic tank.
On a note! Tank and drum are not the same thing as you might think. IN drum we load laundry for washing. A tank is the body in which the drum rotates in the water.
- There are very few reviews on the network that would make it possible to draw up a reliable picture of the work of the Heibergs.
- Almost all models are in the same “weight category”. They have the same construction, similar design, no dryer, equal number of programs and no leak protection. Models differ in price, body color and nuances.
SMA “Heiberg” is not so much a high mountain as a dark horse. Little is known about the technical side of the products, there are no descriptions of the implemented technologies and implemented solutions. These machines are designed to conquer the consumer with their appearance alone, they are beautiful, they are not cheap, and how they work there – the user will learn over time, as they are used.
