Whatā€™s in a washing machine??

Very much as you can see from the specs. I will dwell on some branded ā€œtricksā€.

Miele makes not only washing machines, but also special laundry products, which are packaged in capsules. Each capsule is a single shot of detergent.

Miele W1Classic capsules

This may be:

  • your laundry detergent,
  • fabric care products impregnation, conditioner ,
  • Special additives e.g. detergent booster .

So in this machine you can use all these capsules.

There is even an Impregnation program, which allows you to treat your clothes with a special agent to preserve the water-repellent effect.

Miele W1Classic dust drum

At the end of the wash for 30 minutes includes the anti-crush function ā€“ the drum periodically rotates. You can safely remove your clothes, if they remain in the machine, the drum will periodically rotate, preventing unnecessary wrinkles in your clothes.

High quality of washing, additional options for taking care of clothes, low price for equipment of this brand

Samsung WW10N64PRPW/LP Washing Machine

Samsung WW10N64PRPW

This model uses a huge amount of technology, both for washing clothes and for controlling the machine itself.

  • In a number of programs and options used proprietary EcoBubble, allowing high-quality washing, even at a water temperature of 20 Ā° C.

    Itā€™s all in the bubbles ā€“ remember this slogan?

    Before the clothes, detergent is thoroughly mixed with a little water, dissolves in it, and this mass of bubbles is fed into the drum with your clothes.

  • Several programs use steam to ā€œcleanā€ your clothes from germs.
  • A huge load allows you to wash a lot of clothes in one cycle. But, thereā€™s a catch: in a number of programs, the load is more than modest. This also applies to the washing mode of outerwear ā€“ 2 kg. t.e. Sports jackets, including ski ones, can be washed, but a down jacket may weigh a little more.
  • This washing machine has two doors. If you need to add something to the drum while washing, you can do it easily: pause the machine, open the small door, put a forgotten thing in the machine, close it, take it out of pause ā€“ the washing continues. Many housewives, especially moms of a couple or three kids, will appreciate this feature.
  • You can control this machine directly from your smartphone through a special app.
  • Many washing machines have a special program for cleaning the drum, and this model has a reminder of the need for the procedure appears on the display every 40 washes.

Modern controls, steam, automatic dosing of liquid detergents, the ability to add clothes during the wash.

Low weight of clothes when washing in the special. programs, such as Wool and Outerwear.

Candy GrandO Vita Smart GVF44 138LWHC3-07

This machine is an example of how modern controls can extend the capabilities of household appliances. See, thereā€™s no mode for washing outerwear and down jackets in the basic set of programs. But this machine has a large load and there is the possibility of remote control through the app. It is through remote control you can select the ā€œDown Washingā€ program, and wash winter clothes. You can then select another programme as required. Conveniently!

What else is interesting about the Candy GrandO Vita Smart GVF44 138LWHC3-07?

  • There is a Mix Power System ā€“ the powder is first mixed with water, and then this mixture is injected into the laundry, which allows it to wash better.
  • Water sprayed under pressure during rinsing, so that all powder residues are better washed away.
  • You can add or remove laundry, even if the wash is already in progress. For this there is a Pause function. Just press the pause button, wait until the door lock indicator light goes out, take out or add the desired thing, close the door, press the Start button ā€“ washing continues.
  • The Stain level option allows you to select from three washing intensity levels depending on how dirty the cloths are. It changes the duration of the program.
  • If you press Hygiene+, you will disinfect the laundry at 60Ā° C.
  • The machine can store two personal programs with all the options you want, such as soiling, water temperature and spin speed. In this case, you just need to select your favourite programme, without having to re-set all the settings.
  • It is recommended to clean the drum after every 50 wash cycles.

This washer is the narrowest in this review, but you should keep in mind that the size listed in the specifications is given without taking into account the protruding parts, such as the hatch cover, control panel handles, and the hoses on the back wall. In fact, the depth of the model is larger by about 6 cm. Take this into account when planning its location in a small room.

Affordable price, large load at a reduced depth of the model, the ability to ā€œrefillā€ programs, control through the app.

The program for washing outerwear have to be loaded additionally.


Washing machines that can wash down and outerwear can save you money on dry cleaning.

We hope that you were able to choose a model from these top 5 best.
