Hello! 
I saw that there were at least a few questions about washing machines, but there is much less choice in top loading machines.
Looking at the amount of positive feedback from buyers (or not
), Elektrolux washing machines are most often bought. Here on the forum, however, I also saw quite critical opinions.
It's really hard for me to choose because my washing machine died after 18 (!!!) years of use (it broke down 3 times after 15 years of washing, where the repair cost was PLN 100), and here the majority of opinions are that the currently manufactured washing machines start to fail after the warranty period, and repair costs - better not to say .... Besides, I do not know anything about it, and the matter is very urgent
1. Is it better to buy a washing machine that is more expensive (e.g. PLN 1700) or cheaper (e.g. PLN 1200), since their durability is similar?
2. What do you think about AEG washing machines? Where are they produced? How do they compare with, for example, Bosch, Elektrolux?
I wonder about this one: AEG L71260TLP
What do you recommend ???
My requirements:
- min class A ++
- capacity 6 kg (max 7)
- spin 1200, preferably self-regulated (are there such washing machines?)
- at least 1 program with short washing, or the possibility of shortening the cycle
- the detergent container on the lid is a failure, but I can accept it if there is no way out
- additional rinse and extra spin function or rinse with spin are welcome
- a welcome function to reduce creasing while spinning
A washing machine does not have to have a wide selection of programs, but I do care about spinning well and drying clothes quickly.
Of course, durability and failure-free operation are a priority, but ... here we come back to the beginning of my post :)
I am looking forward to your opinions and advice
Greetings!
