Consumers are now offered a huge selection of CM models. The market offers both simple and budgetary, as well as more advanced and expensive samples of modern household appliances.

Analyzing the reviews of the owners, reviews and opinions of experts, we can highlight the most popular automatic washing units.

In the catalogs of many manufacturers, there is a rich selection of washing machines with this type of load. One of the brightest and most popular representatives of this family of household appliances is the model EW6T4R262 from Electrolux.

With all the advantages, users sometimes complain about poor rinsing of the powder container. And also in the reviews they indicate that of the four legs, only two are adjustable.

This type of SMA is by far the most common. One of its typical and most popular representatives is Siemens WS-12T540-OE. This model has an LED drum light. And during its development, the “Stain Removal” technology was applied.

The machine has the following key characteristics:

• low noise level;
• powder dosing control;
• self-cleaning container for cleaning products;
• control of imbalance and foaming;
• protection from children.

Many buyers attribute its high cost to the main disadvantages of the model.

A car Steam F2M5HS4W from the South Korean company LG - this is far from the most advanced model of the CMA, which differs from competitors in the ideal ratio of price and functionality.

Its main advantages are:

• automatic adjustment of modes;
• touchscreen;
• bubble relief of the drum surface;
• noise level during spinning (no more than 74 dB);

The rating of front-loading washing machines would be incomplete without a representative of the German brand line Bosch. In this case, we are talking about the model WLL-24266belonging to the sixth series. With a depth of only 44.6 cm, this Russian-assembled machine can hold up to 7 kg of dry laundry.

The clear pluses of the WLL-24266 include:

Having studied the characteristics of the SM, we can highlight its advantages:

• the possibility of additional loading;
• protection from children;
• washing class A;
• high-quality display;
• effective control system for foam formation and drum imbalance.

In addition to Bosch, Germany is represented on the modern market by Siemens products, for example, model WS 10G140 OE... Outwardly, it is very similar to the representatives of the Bosch lineup. At the same time, the distinguishing features include the shift of the programmer closer to the center of the panel, and also not red, but yellow display backlight. The machine has a white body and a door with a black and silver frame. With dimensions of 80/60/40 cm, the drum can hold up to 5 kg of laundry.

Each buyer determines for himself the key criteria for choosing household appliances. For some, performance and reliability will be the determining factor. For others, design is at the forefront as well as affordability. Another important criterion for many is the popularity of the brand. Today, many brands from different countries compete for leadership in the industry.

This brand is one of the most famous in the world. The brand was founded in Germany over 130 years ago. The first Bosch washing machine was introduced to the general public in 1972. Now the German brand SM is produced at the company's factories in the USA, France, Poland, Turkey, China and the Russian Federation.

Another German manufacturer specializing mainly in the production of premium home appliances. The brand, whose history began more than a century ago, is now one of the leaders in the industry.

The hallmark of Miele washers is the intelligent control system... It automatically selects the most suitable washing modes for each specific case. An equally important point is the effective proprietary waterproof-metal protection against leaks.

This South Korean manufacturer enjoys record popularity almost all over the world.The constant introduction of advanced technologies allows us to improve the functionality of the company's washing machines. One of their main features is the presence of a direct drive and the absence of a belt drive..

The competitive advantages of LG brand technology include a variety of designs and non-standard color solutions. There are not only white, but also silver, black and even red CMs on the market.

The products of this Swedish brand enjoy well-deserved popularity. When developing new models, the company is guided by the opinions and requests of a potential consumer. Many consider Electrolux washing units to be a model of functionality, reliability and ease of use..

There is a wide range of CMs of this brand on the market of almost all standard sizes - full-size, free-standing, compact, built-in models. The catalog currently includes 7 top-loading machines and 31 modifications with a front loading door.

Delicate washing, high-quality rinsing and the most efficient spinning are not a complete list of tasks that Zanussi units can easily cope with. The loading volume of different models varies from 3 to 7 kg.

Representatives of the model range of this brand have been available on the Russian market for many years. Users refer to the main competitive advantages as the optimal ratio of price and quality. At the same time, in terms of functionality, affordable Whirlpool washing machines are not inferior to more expensive models of equipment.

The catalog of the American manufacturer contains models with both front and vertical loading. The machines are mainly made in white. Control panels and displays are located at the top of the devices.

The ATLANT model line of automatic washing machines is a wide range of high-quality household appliances. The catalog of the Belarusian manufacturer includes compact, narrow and full-size models. Here you can find devices of both the budget segment and the premium class.

The "Soft Control" series was the first line of the Atlant brand to include inexpensive CMs. They were equipped with rotary program switches and LED indication. Today the newest series is "Smart Action", characterized by the presence of a large arsenal of programs, automatic modes and additional functions.

Washing machines of this manufacturer differ in the ratio of price, quality and functionality. Beko equipment comes off the conveyors of enterprises located in Turkey, the Russian Federation and China. In this case, components of the Ardo and Whirlpool brands are used.

In this case, we are talking about another brand that represents South Korea on the modern market. According to current statistics, the brand is one of the three leaders among manufacturers supplying their equipment to the Russian Federation and the CIS countries. Against the background of the closest competitors, units under the Samsung brand stand out for reliability, build quality and a rich model range..

The most effective dissolution of cleaning agents is ensured by the Eco Bubble technology. Another feature is the Diamond Series drums.They have a large number of small diameter holes, which is important when cutting delicate fabrics.

Taking into account the width of the assortment of modern AGRs on the market, it can be very difficult to decide on the choice of a specific model. There are no hard and fast rules as to which model to choose. According to experts, in each specific case, it is necessary to take into account a number of important points. So, some users prefer European assembly technology produced by eminent brands. For others, the key criterion is cost and its relationship to quality.

When choosing a specific modification of the SMA, experts advise paying special attention to the following points:

• method of loading linen and clothes;
• drum capacity;
• washing, spinning and energy efficiency classes, designated by letters from A to G;
• spin speed (intensity), varying in the range from 800 to 2000 rpm (1000 rpm is considered to be the optimal value);
• the number, variety and usefulness of washing programs;
• the presence of systems that provide protection against leaks and children;
• the level of noise emitted in different modes;
• tank and drum material (taking into account durability, buyers prefer equipment with a metal tank);
• the presence of a system for automatic compensation for the imbalance of the drum and its auto-parking (relevant for SM with a vertical type of load of laundry);
• Foam control option, effective against incorrect selection and dosing of cleaning agents.

On many specialized sites and thematic forums, reviews of CM owners of different brands are published. At the same time, positive posts relate to both the most popular brands and samples of products from less well-known manufacturers. In the overwhelming majority of cases, users evaluate washing units for quality, choosing reliable and durable models.

An equally important criterion is the ratio of price and quality of equipment. Here the indisputable leaders among affordable washing machines today are representatives of the Gorenje and Indesit lines... Owners of devices from South Korean brands Samsung and LG - at an optimal cost / quality ratio.

Analyzing numerous reviews of real owners of modern SMA, it can be understood that in terms of reliability and durability, the leaders are the models of the German brands Bosch, Miele and Siemens... It is worth noting that in situations with both budget options and more expensive washing machines, the feedback from the owners of the equipment cannot be called unambiguous.
