Washing machine: which one to buy

I use the CANDY GVF4 137LWHC / 2-07 washer

Good day! Do you use the washer as a freestanding or under the sink?

We were already thinking about Mila, but there is no delivery to us, you have to go 600 km for her, we won't take her away in our car, and they don't have narrow cars ...

There are narrow ones - a vertical bar 45 cm wide, washes well, the laundry does not tear, the duration of the programs is adequate. Recently I had to change my old woman Brandt, I was unpleasantly surprised by the build quality and the duration of the programs in modern washing machines.

[Elena]

Elena, Freestanding, since there is a place for it. You need a small and narrow washer under the sink, for example Candy Aqua 114D2 🔗 or 🔗

[sazalexter]

You need a small and narrow washer under the sink, such as Candy Aqua

Thank you!



sazalexter,

I probably wrote it wrong. Not under the sink, but under the countertop with the sink. We were told that the standard 60 cm is included there.

[Tancha]

Tancha, Thank you.



Gingi, Galya, it's not an option for me to put a vertical.

Also faced in the new Electrolux with small things being stuffed into a duvet cover. But this is only with a duvet cover with a hole in the center, with a hole in the side or bottom, there are no problems - they are small. I began to fold the duvet cover in half, with a hole inward, things stopped clogging.
I agree about the inverter motor, it works much quieter during washing and spinning than a washing machine with a conventional motor with brushes. But you can't call it completely quiet, because the pump and pump make a decent noise.

[sazalexter]

sazalexter, Alexander, and what is the maximum water heating temperature? Not found anywhere. In my old one, I often used 90 °.

[Elena]

Elena, If only under the countertop next to the sink, but not under the sink, then any depth of 60 or 45, the main thing is that the washer has the ability to build in, its height is about 85, that is, if you need to remove the lid under the counter or buy a build-in

what is the maximum water heating temperature?

max temperature 75 °, on this question Candy's answer:
There really is no 90 degree wash cycle in your machine. Our engineers deliberately do not use this mode, since modern washing technologies and advanced detergents make it possible to wash clothes with high quality at relatively low temperatures, significantly saving energy and taking care of the environment.
This fully confirms the operating experience

I have experience in using 3 washing machines, from different manufacturers, one replaced the other.
I was always sure that in all cars the duvet covers clog by themselves and it is necessary to sew up a hole in them, which I have always done. But with the purchase of the last 3 cars, I realized that the problems are all the same with the washing machines, that you can wash the duvet covers without problems and sewing.

[Taia]

Taia, and what kind of washing machine do you have now?

[Taia]

Taia, and what kind of washing machine do you have now?

Now a vertical Whirlpool.
The very first was Vyatka, then Ardo.

[Alyona]

Something about Bosch a lot of negative reviews ...

The craftsmen immediately said not to take an order for the repair of a Bosch washing machine if the brains flew. It is not possible to repair a part there, and it is very expensive to replace the entire block.

Alyona, we and our parents have Bosch for many years. Our Bosch WLK24263OE has all the programs that I need (besides the others there are "down jackets", and "thin linen", and "jeans", I regularly use the "cotton" program at 90 C, for whom children be careful, when washing glass loading door gets very hot). During the entire period of operation, the parents had no problems, we called the master twice - the first problem, as it turned out, was associated with a defective mains filter, the second with the deterioration (over the years) of the drain hose. According to the master, global breakdowns with Bosch are very rare, but, yes, indeed, they are expensive.We and PMM from Bosch, like the combination of quality, energy class, noise and ease of use. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the Bosch technique of recent days is, I don’t know, so I cannot recommend it.

Now a vertical Whirlpool.

and I'm looking for front-loading ...

[Taia]

Taia, and the previous two were also top-loaded?

[Alexander]

Alexander, Thank you

[Taia]

Taia, and the previous two were also top-loaded?

The previous ones were front-loading.
The current vertical in use is more pleasant

[Taia]

So, maybe that's the point? There is less space in the drum of a top-loading machine, so the duvet cover does not mix with other things as actively as in the frontal full-size ones. In the new Electrolux, the grips are also oblique, they move the linen very much: only the thing was near the window, after a couple of turns it was at the far wall!

Taia, have you tried washing a single blanket in a new top-loading one, or does it not fit?

So, maybe that's the point? There is less space in the drum of a top-loading machine, so the duvet cover does not mix with other things as actively as in the frontal full-size ones.

Why did you decide that the tank of the vertical is smaller than that of the front ones? The tank is big.
You put forward some dubious conclusions. My previous washer held 1 duvet cover and 1 sheet - and a full tank. Nevertheless, there was always a sheet inside the duvet cover or the duvet cover was jammed into itself.

Have you tried washing a single blanket in a new top-loading one, or does it not fit?

Washed 1.5 camel wool blanket. Everything fit well and was perfectly cleaned.
Washed 2 sleeping blanket.
I will clarify - a washing machine for 7 kg.

[Taia]

Taia, thank you, I was very interested in the issue of washing large-sized items in vertical washing machines.
7 kg is what is written on a typewriter or instructions? This is not real cephra, but marketing. I have stated 8 kg, but I understand that so much just won't even fit in there, not to mention washing. Probably, in verticals, the drum is larger due to the diameter, because they are all the same in width Already full-size drums, because the width of the machine of 40 cm also limits the width of the drum.

I read the recommendation of the master from the service: in order to extend the life of the washing machine, you do not need to hammer the machine, as stated in the instructions, you always need to load a little less weight than indicated.

after all, the width of the machine of 40 cm also limits the width of the drum.

Vertical chairs are also 45 cm wide. I had 7 kg, washed blankets, down jackets, pillows - everything fit and there was still free space. The tank at the vertical is mounted on two sides, and at the horizontal on one side, but if we compare the width of the tank at the horizontal and the machine with vertical loading by 60 cm, I think there will not be much difference. Girls can measure the depth of the tank if anyone is interested.

When I bought the first washing machine, the installer immediately warned not to load a lot of terry clothes at the same time - they absorb a lot of water into themselves and a big overload is obtained. The car is soon 22 years old, it is still alive and working normally. I changed the pump once and the shock absorbers once.

as soon as the warranty ended, water began to leak, that's somewhere on top, when it pours water.

I only recently wrote that I had such a problem. It began to leak from nowhere. The husband removed the top cover - there EVERYTHING was in undissolved powder. Cleaned, rinsed, collected - everything is fine. Servicemen on one forum wrote to me that I was pouring a lot of powder. And I still only wash on short cycles. Now I periodically run the empty car at the longest and hottest setting and generally pour the powder into the drum.

I also pour powder into the drum, but where I read that liquid detergents are better for short programs - in a short time and at a low temperature, the powder does not have time to dissolve well ...

I use soda ash for every wash. I used to fall asleep in the compartment for detergents, but it did not always dissolve, sometimes it remained lumps in the cuvette, so I began to pre-dissolve it in water, and then pour it out. You can also dilute the powders. I use only gels myself.

washing machine under the sink?

We changed the sink for a special flat "above the washing machine" (Sink above the washing machine), and under it a standard front loading washer.
For the child, Ikeev's plastic stool is used, since the sink is fixed a little high. It is convenient to use.

Hello everyone. I went to get a new washing machine. Wish me good luck....

Girls, I read more than once that they wash bathroom rugs ... Do I have thin rubber on the back? There are also loops, fluffy. It is difficult to wash it by hand. Tell me which ones are you washing? Thank you!

[strawberry]

strawberrythin with rubber after washing became without rubber

that's what I thought. We erase it manually.

[Natasha]

Natasha, I still wash in the washer, the back does not allow manual washing

I had it with loops, fluffy, with an anti-slip coating on the back, after washing in a typewriter, it began to slip, everything peeled off. Although the temperature was low and the washing mode was gentle. Therefore, only manually.

I have Ikeevsky TOFTBU, I wash it in the car

... if the duvet cover is washed, then most things are packed inside, I take out one large bag, I have to sew up the hole before washing ...

I can advise my solution to the problem: tie a hole on a knot. I take the fabric of the duvet cover near the gap and tie it in two knots as tightly as possible with this thickness, it turns out an impressive knot. The knot is untied by the end of the wash (I wash it on a full cycle, this is 2-40, sometimes I add additional washing or rinsing), the fabric has time to straighten out and no wrinkles remain. I have been using this method for many years, before I realized it - I sewed it up, pinned it with pins.
And no need to adapt and quickly.

Tina! I put a small chair next to the bath and, sitting, wash the rugs. The back forces itself to be respected

I take the fabric of the duvet cover near the gap and tie it in two knots as tightly as possible with this thickness, it turns out an impressive knot

I have an Electrolux. I tied a duvet cover, the knot was untied during the washing process, I did not like the result, so I sew it

Tell me which ones are you washing?

We wash all rugs in the washing machine, we no longer buy those that lose their rubber coating (we came across a couple of unsuccessful rugs). All rugs were bought "on the occasion" in regular stores.

I have an Electrolux. I tied a duvet cover, the knot was untied during the washing process, I did not like the result, so I sew it

I don’t insist, I just shared my positive experience.
And, by the way, I also have Electrolux ews 1046, they probably don't do it anymore.
It has never happened that the nodes were preserved. At first I was afraid that they would loosen up in the process, and the duvet cover would not absorb everything else.
The method also works in the new Electrolux typewriter, built-in 7 kg from Ikea.

(and she, like the old one, shakes the laundry before opening)

Dear ones, I want to consult with you! I'm going to buy an Electrolux washer and dryer (and put them in a column). Dryer Electrolux EW8HR458B, washing machine Electrolux EW7F3R48S for 8 kg. Can you tell us something about them? Are they good or is it worth seeing something else?

ews 1046, they probably don't do it anymore

And mine. I hope that it will serve us for a long time.

[Prus - 2]

Prus - 2, it seems to me that Lena has Tim Electrolux with drying. Maybe to her in a personal?

Electrolux with dryer

A dryer machine and a column of two separate machines are different.

[Galina]

Galina rights are completely different things - here they are (if links are inserted) 🔗. 🔗

and put them in a column

A very correct decision.

Are they good or is it worth seeing something else?

I cannot say about the modern. The old ones work to this day with a friend. I changed my technique.
Which way do you want to look?

Wish me good luck....

[Lelka]

Lelka, and I threw off the above links on these cars - both electrolux

[Lyuba]

Lyuba, I do not know what the steam is for in the washer. I don't need this function. And so, a normal washing machine, I would consider. I don't know how the plastic tank behaves. Dryer with normal functions. I have 4 programs, and I am happy as an elephant. )))

I don't know how the plastic tank behaves.

and where is it written that the tank is plastic? out of curiosity, I climbed to look and did not find such information. I know that the drums in all cars are now plastic, except for Asko and Millet, and of professional cars, and the tank is metal everywhere

except Asco and Millet

so I'm friends with them)))

and did not find such information

Tank material
plastic

🔗

This is a tank, not a drum.

the drums in all cars are now plastic, and the tank is metal everywhere

On the contrary.
