    Hello

    I am looking for a replacement for a top loading washing machine in an indefinite budget.

    Some simple Bosch is on the finish. From interviews and opinions, it is still lingering that the best top-loaded Electrolux does. Is that true

    The washing machine is to be for the elderly, so the requirements are:
    - long trouble-free operation
    - simplicity of use (preferably with one knob)

    From what I've already realized (because I haven't had top-loading contacts), helpful additions are the removable dispenser and the drum setting with the opening up. Anything else is important? Any suggestions for washing machines?

    At the course of repairing washing machines and refrigerators in the former Wroclaw Pole, the lecturer said that one of the best washing machines loaded from above is made by Blomberg.
    However, it could have changed a lot since then.

    Quote:
    [...] helpful additions are a removable dispenser [...]

    We have not used the dispenser for a long time, only pour the powder straight into the drum.
    Water does not always rinse out all the powder from the dispenser, what remains will be able to stick to the walls of the dispenser. At least, it happened in my Bosch.

    It's great, but where are these washing machines supposed to be bought once and twice, how many years ago was it? I don't know the Blomberg brand, but many German brands with tradition are now Chinese brands, e.g. Bauknecht or Haier. The Chinese manufacturer buys the brand, only sticks the logo in its factory and sends it to Europe.
    So I would like to ask for more timely and constructive comments.

    I have no experience with top-loading washing machines. I just read that the dispensers are filthy and removable makes cleaning easy. The fact of not using it at all, just dispensing directly into the drum actually solves the case (I did not come up with it :) ) But what about the program with prewash, starch, using fabric softener? In such programs it is impossible to dispense directly into the drum.

    Electrolux / AEG - because both are the same - they have IMHO very nice this container for powder, not on the door like all others / except Miele of course :-) , only in the washing machine body.
    AEG have a nicer handle all but the cheapest model, Electroluxes have such a handle only in the budget well over 2,000 PLN.

    So that they can be, you can also replace the bearings in an easy way, too much I would not expect durability, because today it is all rather more one-time :-(

    And what's the deal with this container:

    I have to go back to the topic because I gave up a year ago. Now I have to order a washing machine from this bank this week.
    I was hunting for something with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty and the only thing I found was Candy. This promotion has 3 models loaded from the top - one reasonably available - Washing machine CANDY CST G370D-S - https://www.ceneo.pl/55485288.
    I already greeted the goose, but I started reading about Candy loaded from above, then about all Candy washing machines and it does not look good. What after a 5-year warranty, as the service is slow, washing machines break down, and sometimes they no longer work from the entrance :) .

    Earlier, the leader in top-loading was probably Electroluxy, but recent revelations related to their service and product quality is not on my nerves.

    At the moment I'm probably at the stage of some of the simplest Bosch, people write something there, but these are individual cases. Unfortunately, the cheapest is around 1700-1800 PLN.


    Will you advise something?

    Take what suits you and what you like.
    1 Candy - rotten drum after 2 years
    2 Elektrolux first - broken collar rubber - unprofitable repair - collar price plus assumption - drama
    3 Elektrolux two - the washing machine instead of works dirty stains - no rinsing helps.
    That's it. All the same - 2 years and a dustbin.

    Until the last moment there was hesitation whether the cheapest Whirlpool AWE 60110 for 800 PLN, or the proven and apparently trouble-free Bosch WOT 20255PL for 1500 PLN. It fell on Bosch, it will come on Thursday, may it serve long.
