What factors to consider when purchasing?

When buying a washing machine, you need to take into account several factors so as not to overpay for unnecessary functions or, conversely, save money by purchasing a low-quality unit. You should pay attention to the following characteristics:

1. Dimensions. Here you need to proceed from the size of the room where the machine is installed. The unit must be located at least 5 cm from the wall. For front-facing models, consider space for freely opening the door and loading things.
2. Download method. The horizontal type requires more space, but they have a wider hatch, making it more convenient to load things. Also, such units can be easily adapted to existing furniture; their lid can be used instead of a tabletop. Vertical type units require less space and are easier to place in the bathroom. But you can’t “insert” it into furniture; the loading door is smaller.
3. Drying. It is convenient to get dry things out. But the process consumes a lot of electricity. Things wear out faster after automatic drying. The rubber parts of the machine deteriorate faster due to hot air blowing. The unit with drying costs much more.
4. Capacity. If 2-4 people live, then a unit of 5-6 kg is enough. For large families, cars weighing 7 kilograms or more are needed.
5. Classes. The most important indicators are spin and energy efficiency.To save energy, you should purchase a unit with an energy efficiency class of at least A, and preferably A+, A++ or A+++. To spin, the indicator must be A or B.
6. Programs. Among the many washing algorithms, only no more than ten are most often useful. Therefore, you don’t have to overpay for unnecessary “software”. The following modes are considered useful: “Quick Wash”, “Delicate” for wool or silk, “Sports”, “Manual”, “Children’s”, “Delayed”, “Preliminary” for very dirty items.
7. Stopping leaks. An important Aqua-stop function will help you avoid troubles with neighbors and will not allow you to spoil the interior of your apartment.

Comparison with other brands

Many companies involved in the production of washing machines, in order to increase competition, reduce the cost of production at the expense of quality. Therefore, comparisons often come out in favor of ATLANT. For clarity, you can compare the products of the Belarusian manufacturer with the products of more famous competitors:

1. Bosch. The German concern has been producing cars for a long time and has earned trust due to the quality of the units.

   Expensive parts, for example, bearings, tanks, electronics, have proven themselves to be very reliable and break down extremely rarely.

   Also, not all functions are available on the Belarusian car compared to the German one. The main disadvantage of Bosch is the high price of products - they are 2-3 times more expensive.

   Repairing a German unit is also very expensive; parts are often brought from Germany.

2. Zanussi. The quality of an Italian machine greatly depends on the production location. Western European products are better.Experts also note that after 2011, the quality of Zanussi units dropped significantly. Therefore, if you do not need additional functions, for example, drying, then it is better to buy ATLANT.
3. Samsung. Despite the famous brand, experts do not recommend buying Korean units. Leaks often occur even before the warranty period expires. Water gets onto the main components and damages them. The car makes a lot of noise and the shock absorbers wear out quickly. The plastic is of low quality, which is why it often breaks. The drive belt lasts no more than 5 years. On the positive side, there are many functions and high-quality electronics. It is better to purchase ATLANT with a 3-year warranty.
4. LG. This “Korean” is distinguished by good quality of both electronics and mechanical parts. Quiet machine with a variety of functions. Experts do not advise buying models with Direct drive, since possible system repairs are very expensive. LG is about 2 times more expensive, but the “Korean” wins in quality and great capabilities.
5. Indesit. The car is sold in the same price range as ATLANT, but is equipped with low-quality electronics. Repairing a bearing failure is expensive and not always practical. It is better to purchase a product from a Belarusian manufacturer.
6. Electrolux. The Swedish brand is distinguished by a small percentage of breakdowns - less than 8%, comparable in quality to Bosch. The company is constantly introducing new features into washing machines. Machines from Electrolux are about 1.5-2 times more expensive, but are equipped with a large number of useful options.
7. Beco. Turkish products are in the same price range as Belarusian ones. But frequent breakdowns and expensive repairs make their purchase pointless.

Conclusion

ATLANT provides modern washing machines with a large number of programs. Most products come with a 3 year warranty, which is longer than many competitors.. You can choose a unit for any family.

If the buyer does not care about the presence of advanced functions, such as drying, steaming, or remembering frequently used modes, then ATLANT will be a good choice.
