Looking for a modern automatic machine, but don’t know which one to buy? Indeed, the choice can be difficult to make, and user reviews alone are not enough. To simplify the task, experts in the field of home appliances make different ratings. What should be the washing machine 2019 to get into the top “Best Model of the Year”? An overview of new products will help you figure it out.
Daniil Golovin, an expert on the Tostr home appliances channel, compiled his top 5 washing machines based on the main annual premieres in this segment. Let’s consider them in more detail.
Washer-dryer LG True Steam
The LG True Steam is undoubtedly of interest for its appearance alone. Manufacturers have done a good job on the design, which noticeably distinguishes it from other models.
SMA has a large load (designed for 12 kg of laundry for washing and 8 kg for drying).
In addition to the 12 main programs, it has many additional ones. Among them are 2 steam cycles – “Hypoallergenic” and “Refresh” (without the use of powder and water). If you want to get dry and clean laundry immediately, you can use the Wash + Dry cycle. It is designed for 8 kg. Things are dried according to the degree of humidity (“Under the iron”, “In the closet”) or by time.
Steam can be added to the Cotton, Mixed and Casual programs.
How did the developers equip the SMA, what distinguishes it from others in terms of reliability? Firstly, the engine in it is an inverter type, with a direct drive system. It runs quieter and has no wear parts. Therefore, the manufacturer gives a 10-year warranty on the motor.
Secondly, the model uses the “6 movements of care” technology. The drum rotates according to different algorithms, depending on the fabric and the degree of contamination of things.
The washing machine is convenient to use because it can be controlled remotely through a mobile application.
The cost is 110 rubles.
Candy CSS4 Narrow Machine
The option is inexpensive, but “advanced” CMA for the selection of functions and additional features.
Quick programs are the main feature of this model. There are three of them: 14, 30 and 44 minutes long. And a full wash of the maximum loaded drum (6 kg) lasts only 59 minutes.
Steam treatment can be added to the “Baby” and “Easy Iron” cycles.
The Smart Touch function allows you to download new programs (about 40 additional ones) and gives recommendations for their use. It is activated through a mobile application, works on technology NFC. It is enough to lean the smartphone against the automatic machine and load new cycles.
The application can only be installed on Android.
Candy CSS4 is the best option in terms of price and quality. The cost of the car is 20 rubles.
Samsung QuickDrive with reload
The 10kg automatic was featured in the review thanks to its useful technologies such as QuickDrive. The Koreans have worked hard to make their SMA wash really differently. It’s all about the drum, the elements of which rotate in different directions (one of its segments rotates clockwise, the back wall – against it). This rotation provides a more active effect on soiled linen, while the quality of washing remains the same.
The most interesting feature is an additional loading hatch. If there are dirty clothes left, and the wash has already begun, it is easy to load them through this small hatch on the door.
There is a remote control from a smartphone that tells you which mode to choose for downloaded items.
Automatic dosing of detergent and rinse aid is another feature of the washer Samsung. It is enough to pour them into special compartments, and CMA will automatically measure the right amount. If you fill the cuvette completely, the contents will be enough for about 20 washes.
Like the models described above, this washing machine has many useful programs, but with a reduced duration. For example, if in other SMAs the “Cotton” cycle lasts more than two hours, then in Samsung, thanks to QuickDrive technology, it takes a little more than one.
No wonder this washing machine is on the list of the best. The cost is 109 rubles.
CMA washer-dryer Electrolux PerfectCare 800
Another participant in the review is the Swedish washer and dryer “Electrolux».
Automatic machine with a sufficiently large volume of the loading hatch (10 kg for washing, 6 kg for drying).
The peculiarity of the model is that the powder and conditioner enter the drum in the form of a ready-made washing solution. This improves the quality of washing and reduces the duration of programs.
SMA has 2 non-stop cycles. You can wash and immediately dry 1 kg of clothes in 60 minutes or 5 kg in 4 hours.
Steam cycle (without water and powder) with fragrance – for refreshing clothes.
To make things acquire a pleasant aroma, you can use a special tool.
The machine has auto-weighing. After loading things into the hatch, information about their weight appears on the display. This eliminates the possibility of SMA overload.
Autodry with optimization for running mode can be added to almost any cycle. Time Manager allows you to reduce the time of some basic programs yourself.
The cost is 126 rubles.
Narrow washer-dryer Haier HWD80
A Chinese-made CMA with an unusual design closes this top list.
The capacity of the model is 8 kg of linen. It is capable of drying 5 kg of things. It has 16 main programs and additional functions (including steam treatment and stain removal by type of origin).
The washing machine has a light indication of the stages of work. When the hatch door lights up blue, it means that CMA is washing clothes now. When the orange color is on, it means that it is working in the “Dry” mode.
Hatch illumination simplifies the process of loading and unloading clothes.
The Pillow Drum technology is designed for a more gentle wash without sacrificing quality. “Pads” on the surface of the drum create a water film, which provides a more delicate treatment of clothing.
The “Drum cleaning” function provides water supply from the top of the hatch to the cuff. Thus, dirt and other debris that gets there during operation is washed out.
The cost is 60 rubles.
Video review:
The top 5 did not include models with vertical loading. Recall that the author compiled this rating based on the novelties of 2018–2019. Probably, the range of SMAs of this type was simply not updated over this period of time. We hope that the information about the best washing machines was useful in the future, when choosing a “home assistant” it will definitely come in handy.
