Many consumers have not even heard of Schaub Lorenz. It may seem that this is a newcomer fighting for his place under the sun. Today, many Chinese firms supply equipment to the Russian market under sonorous brands hinting at German production. We will find out where Schaub Lorenz washing machines are produced and why they are interesting to our buyer.
Where is Schaub Lawrence made?
The brand is of German origin. Products on the market are presented as “Made in Germany”. Today, in order to find out where this or that equipment is assembled, one has to conduct a small investigation. The official website of the company states: “The country of development is Germany. The country of origin is Turkey.
When buying CMA, many users are guided by the brand. Since Schaub Lorenz is a completely unfamiliar brand for Russian consumers, it is necessary to find out the details of its biography – is it hiding behind the solid and beautiful name “Chinese”?
Here are some facts about the company that will help paint its portrait:
- Founded a long time ago, back in the 19th century. A certain Karl Lorenz.
- The 150-year history and several crises experienced confirm that the company is unsinkable, it manages to stay afloat thanks to the famous German quality.
- This is a major player – the company’s turnover amounts to hundreds of millions of euros.
- The main sales market is Germany and other countries of Western Europe. That’s why Russian consumers don’t know anything about Schaub.
- The company opened a representative office in Russia in 2016.
- The company provides after-sales service. Warranty – 1 year.

Pros:
- stylish and concise design – there is nothing superfluous on the panel;
- high quality washing and spinning, copes with difficult pollution;
- there is a countdown timer;
- a large hatch with a “space” design, not much “concave inward” – you can load a large thing, such as a blanket;
- moderate cost;
- clear control, no unnecessary functions;
- low power consumption;
- erases very quietly;
- rinses out with good quality.
Cons:
- Noisy during the spin cycle and during the bay. The user notes that the reason is a noisy pump and the lack of a bottom. After contacting the official representative, it was found out that the bottom is not provided for in this model.
- Opaque hatch – you can not see what “happens in the drum” (quote). Probably, the manufacturer did not think that it would be interesting for the user to observe the process. However, the market is full of SMAs with transparent hatches – for those who like to watch how the laundry is washed.
Users are generally positive about the SLW MG5132. Many note that they made a choice in favor of Schaub after talking with consultants. Rejection of “Boshe”, LG , Electrolux and even Samsung in favor of a little-known brand confirms that the manufacturer offers ideal performance at a moderate cost. Many users recommend this model / brand to their relatives and friends – and this is already a serious claim to popularity.
A similar design, but the SLW MC6133 machine has a greater cost. Compared to the previous one, it has high spin speeds.
SLW MG5132 – with removable cover for installation

In this model, users noted the design – those who were tired of white washers were able to get hold of a black stylish device of “German design”. In this model, the price and quality correlate perfectly.
Another version with a removable cover is the SLW MW6110. It is also designed for 6 kg, costs about 10 rubles cheaper than the previous model. Cheapness is explained by a lower spin speed, shallow depth and, perhaps, a less original design.

It is easy to fit in a small bathroom, and the quality of washing did not suffer at all from its “cut down” dimensions.
The SLW MC6131 has improved performance over the previous machine. She has a load – 6 kg, speed – 1000 rpm.
SLW TW9431 – the most spacious and with drying

The only thing that can stop you is a high price, cramped premises or an unfamiliar brand. But we seem to have already figured out the last one – Schaub Lorenz supplies quite solid washing machines to our market.
Conclusions
Summing up:
- Schaubs for the Russian market are not produced in Germany, but in Turkey. And this means that there may be a difference between the quality of washing machines produced in the “historical homeland” and “on the road”. Our consumers, taught by experience, prefer to pay attention to the country of assembly, giving preference to Germany.
- On the official website, you can read the operating instructions for each model.
- Many users have purchased their “Schaubs” on the “tip” of consultants, sellers in stores, as well as on the basis of advice and feedback from experts.
Schaub Lawrence is a newcomer to the Russian market of washing machines, but knows a lot about the production of CMA. This German brand with a century and a half history undoubtedly deserves the attention of our consumers.
