In the global consumer market, German quality has long been a leader. German-made washing machines are reliable, durable and of impeccable quality. The assortment of popular German manufacturers is replete with models with modern convenient features in a wide price range.
Advantages of German models
Washing machines from Germany, thanks to the German build quality and accuracy, work very well and serve for quite a long time - 7-15 years.
They have a huge number of different washing modes and can cope with almost all types of fabrics. Although a rather high price affects the number of purchased devices, German-made washing machines are very common in Russia.
Before purchasing a washing machine made in Germany, it is necessary to carefully analyze the models and choose exactly the unit that is most suitable for you.
Difficulty choosing
When choosing a washing machine, it is necessary to take into account the features of the room where it is planned to be installed. For a small bathroom, a washing machine from Germany with a narrow body or a low model with the possibility of installation under the sink would be the best choice. And for a large family, it is preferable to choose a car with a spacious tank, which holds a lot of linen in one cycle.
Prices for German-made washing machines on the market are not the lowest, but this is offset by the quality of the washing and the high reliability of the equipment. In German models for high-quality cleaning of contaminants, as well as saving resources, convenient high-tech solutions and minimal consumption of detergents are provided. This is achieved thanks to modern electronics, which controls all stages of washing, and the thoughtful design of the drums.
To save time, it is recommended to purchase a German-built washing machine with dryer - this is an automatic washing and drying of any laundry at the optimal settings. In such models, you can adjust the parameters of both washing and drying. For example, the “Preparing for Ironing” function, which spreads fibers onto fabrics, is very convenient.
How is originality determined?
Any popular product is often faked. Therefore, when choosing, consider the following nuances:
- the presence of high-quality documents - the original German-built washing machine has a passport in Russian;
- price - a true German model cannot cost two to three times cheaper than its market price;
- the presence of a certificate of quality - all overseas goods have mandatory certification;
- commercial premises - pay attention to exactly where the purchase is made; it is much more likely to get a fake not in a specialized supermarket, but in a dubious small basement type store.
Tip. Record the serial number and model of the selected German-built washing machine and view the necessary information on the manufacturer’s web page. Using the site, you can very reliably determine by the model number whether this device is original or is it an inexpensive fake of a famous German brand.
Manufacturers
The most famous German companies, such as Bosch, Miele, AEG, Electrolux, Hansa, Siemens, have long been the best in the world.
The most elite and reliable brand is a company with the brand name Miele. The models of this company have a life of up to 30 years, which no manufacturer can guarantee.
And machine manufacturers Bosch and Siemens produce models with an average price category, which are very popular among Russian consumers.
Unbeatable German quality is embodied in the models produced by Hansa, and the unique structure of the drum takes care of gentle washing of the laundry and prevents damage.
Kuppersbusch, although it is one of the leading manufacturers of washing units, has not yet gained much popularity in Russia because of its relatively high pricing policy.
