Washing machines Eurosoba (Euronova): characteristics and review of the best models

Washing machines Eurosoba (Euronova) deserve much more attention than is usually thought. Their characteristics are at least as good as those of Zanussi, Hotpoint-Ariston, LG or Whirlpool designs. You just need to figure out the features of specific variations and get acquainted with an overview of the best models.

Washing machines Eurosoba (Euronova) can really "challenge" the products of the leading concerns of Europe and Asia. Even brands like Indesit, Samsung, and Miele aren't all that great in comparison. Curious that Eurosoba has two branches at once - initially there were independent companies in Austria and Switzerland, which only later merged into one brand. The Austrian Eudora released a prototype of the modern Eurosoba models in 1965. And the enterprise, located in the Swiss city of Bar, rapidly developed its washing products in the 1960s-1980s.

The Eurosoba brand appears at the beginning of the 21st century, when the Swiss branch "absorbs" an Austrian competitor. Attention: the trademarks Soba, Euronova, Eumenia, Babynova belong to the same Austrian-Swiss concern. Therefore, it is appropriate to combine them with the collective name Eurosoba. All such models are especially compact and cannot boast of an impressive load. But in the segment of equipment for small-sized housing, it is difficult to find a decent analogue of such equipment.

Eurosoba dimensions - no more than 0.69x0.46x0.46 m. You can put up to 3 kg of laundry inside. The dry weight loading of the latest developments, however, has been increased to 4 kg. Overall, this makes an attractive choice for singles or families who wash their laundry every 5-7 days. It is also worth paying attention to the relatively small weight of washing machines, not exceeding 50.5 kg.

Installation of the Eurosoba washing machine is possible in any convenient place. An important advantage of the brand is also the production of sinks individually adapted to these washing machines. They are ideally combined both technically and in design. At the same time, the weaknesses of the Eurosoba technique are a small variety and rare supplies of small batches (they are difficult to find even in megacities).

But the reliability of the products of this brand is beyond doubt. The company gives an official guarantee of 2 years. The instructions specify a service life of 15 years. A many houses in foreign countries still have copies of Euronova, which were released in the 1980s. The assembly is carried out exclusively by hand, using only first-class materials and selected parts.

Eurosoba washing machines can hardly boast of a wide variety of functions. Some models are devoid of timers and displays, which, however, does not make them much worse. But the main technical units are the same as for the products of other brands. In addition to the main regulator and temperature setter, a programmer is usually provided, which sets individual programs and the speed of rotation of the drum. As usual, the detergent compartment is located at the top left of the front panel.

The door is located exactly in the middle of the front side. The pump cover and emergency drain are located at the bottom. Of course, electronics play a major role in the washing machine. If it breaks down, you cannot count on normal operation. The electronics receive signals from a pressure switch (water filling indicator), a temperature sensor, a tachometer and some other units.

When the automation receives all the necessary information, it responds with commands:

• open or seal the hatch door;

• pump water;

• drain the water;

• spin the drum;

• warm up the water;

• stop the drum.

Eurosoba 600 features impressive mobility. The weight of the product is only 35 kg. Rolling it on the castor legs is very easy. There are also handles for transportation where it is impossible to roll. When working with particularly delicate fabrics, you can set a reduced spin speed - 500 revolutions.

Despite the lack of a screen, the programmer shows quite informatively how the wash is going. The dimensions of the device are 0.68x0.46x0.46 m. ​​Up to 3.5 kg of linen can be loaded inside; after spinning, its moisture content will be no more than 65%. Both the tank and the drum are made of stainless steel. Other parameters are as follows:

• economy category A;

• purely mechanical control;

• 7 main and 5 auxiliary programs;

• automatic tracking of water level;

• suppression of foam;

• self-diagnosis of malfunctions is absent;

• total power - 1.35 kW;

• the length of the network cable is 1.5 m.

Eurosoba 1000, as its name suggests, it can spin laundry at speeds up to 1000 rpm. But when choosing a program for washing wool, this figure is reduced to 500 revolutions. The management is very simple. There are only three main buttons: opening the door, setting the mode, enabling or disabling the spin. The Eurosoba 1000 is equipped with imbalance tracking and vibration damping in line with industry leading requirements. Like the 600th car, there is no display, but there is an informative programmer.

Key properties:

• dimensions - 0.68x0.46x0.46 m;

• frontal laying of linen;

• capacity - 4 kg;

• stainless steel tank and drum;

• residual moisture - from 45 to 55%;

• current consumption - 0.17 kW per cycle;

• washing in class A;

• 7 + 5 programs;

• protection against electrical sparks, voltage surges;

• partial protection against leaks;

• required fuses for 10A;

• total connection power - 2.2 kW;

• weight - 50 kg;

• special mode "biophase" to remove organic contaminants.

Soba 1000BW has all the required functions that allow you to wash any ordinary laundry - both with spinning and without spinning. The control is carried out in a purely mechanical way, which will delight people who are not too friendly with modern technology. Hidden auto-weighing is provided. The display is missing again. The washing process is indicated by a clockwise programmer.

Eurosoba 1100 Sprint - this is a unique washing machine. It has, unlike other models of the concern, a combined electronic-mechanical control. The spin speed is smoother than other models. It can be changed from 500 to 1100 revolutions in increments of 100. All information required by the user is shown on the display.

An automatic diagnostic system is provided. Thanks to it, situations are excluded when the water is blocked, the door is not tightly locked or the water filter is clogged. Model "1100" has a special option for washing laundry with suppression of allergens. There is also an accelerated wash, which ends in 38 minutes, and an automatic opening of the door after completion of work. It is also worth noting:

• spinning level B +;

• left opening of the hatch;

• the highest current consumption per cycle 0.12 kW per 1 kg;

• suppression of foam;

• total power of 2.2 kW;

• the need to connect to cold water;

• traditional white color;

• net weight - 50.5 kg.

The steel body is coated with polymers. Carefully selected weighting and shock absorbers help to improve the quality of the machine. Of course, the "biophase" mode is also provided. The machine can work independently of the water pressure. Users have access to the task of original combinations of programs.

Foreign objects are dropped into a special compartment. There are modes:

• pre-wash;

• work without rinsing;

• separate rinse without rinsing;

• separate spinning;

• work with lightly soiled laundry.

It is appropriate to end the review at Soba 1100BS. This machine also has an electronic-mechanical control. One programmer is responsible for indicating the temperature, the second for changing the spin rate. The necessary information is transmitted to the screen.

When choosing a Eurosoba washing machine under the sink, you must first check if there is enough space for it. Although the dimensions are more or less the same, one must also take into account the additional space that an open door takes. Models with vertical loading are not available from this manufacturer. Although the performance is relatively low, it still differs significantly from version to version. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to this parameter.

Studying the description, one must look at the classes of washing, spinning, and the category of energy efficiency. These are three different parameters, which should not be confused with each other. However, with the energy consumption of Eurosoba washing machines, everything is in order. The variety of programs must be selected to your liking.

More durable cars, the tank in which is not made of pure metal, but covered with a protective polymer layer. No less important is the consumption of water within a standard cycle. It should be borne in mind that all manufacturers calculate it for washing cotton with the highest load at 60 degrees. In other modes, this figure may differ. The spin rate for any Eurosoba washing machine is quite acceptable; buying a model with a display is optional - the programmer works just as well.
