    Hello,

    I apologize in advance if I do not shoot properly in the rules of your forum, but I write here for the first time and I just do not know where to find the answer to my question. For many years I have been using incognito of your knowledge and advice in various strange cases, so I hope that this time you will help me with this problem.
    To the point.
    For several weeks I have been trying to find a washing machine whose depth does not exceed 40 cm and which, of course, will work until my death without any defect%). The easiest way, it is known, is to enter the site of the first better market and launch the search engine. Following this lead, my choice has been limited to four brands:

    Hoover DXOC34 26C3
    Electrolux EWS1266CI
    Candy Smart GVS34 126DC3
    Electrolux EWS11064CDS

    Positive opinions in such places are probably as much as the given brand does not spend on them%), so it's hard for me to believe them, especially since I happened to buy something that was hopeless several times and turned out to be a firecracker (recently I had it with white paint, which apparently hides only after the 5th layer, and in fact gave advice after 2 ...).
    Returning, however, to the washing machines - do any of you have or had experience with any of the above models? Or maybe I should choose something else? Honestly, I exchanged these models only because they jumped out as the 4 most expensive of the group up to 40 cm deep. The rest is scary cheap for me and I'm afraid that in the case of these tangoys after a week there will be nothing to collect ...

    I will be eternally grateful for reliable answers.

    If you are looking for a washing machine that will work "until your death", you have been late 18 years - because then more or less stopped producing such equipment.

    And buy one that you like - and it will be cheap enough / here the ceiling depends on individual preferences / - for a little more than 2 years / period "warranty" it all endure and if they fix for free, probably in general the washing machine can withstand even and 3 or 4 years / - it will not be too bad to buy a new one :roll:

    Hello.
    What washing machine did you have so far? I am asking about the brand and did it work as far as possible?
    Unfortunately, it is difficult to advise you because currently produced household appliances do not belong to durable ones.
    The brands that you mentioned are brands that do not have the option of replacing worn bearings and this is a very common failure.
    Maybe it is worth considering the Amica, Samsung or LG brands, but only these manufacturers offer this possibility.
    Of course, there are consumers who do not attach much importance to this because when buying a washing machine they are interested in the design of the washing machine and bajerami, which really are not needed for the washing machine to properly washed clothes.
    You have to answer the question of whether to buy a washing machine, which after 3 years will require replacement for new equipment or one that can still be repaired in most cases.

    Until now, I had Siemens, but it's a different type, because it's loaded from above, bigger etc. (I do not remember the name).
    Now I need not only that max. 40 cm deep, it's still loaded from the front.
    If Siemens produced it, I would go into it blindly, because mine is probably 10 years old and I am hilarious like gold, but I am moving and I have no place for such a bull.

    Hello.
    Well, if you chose Siemens, you would quickly change your opinion.
    Unfortunately, today Bosch and Siemens are based only on the well-established opinion of trouble-free equipment.
    Currently, they produce equipment called disposable.
    I wrote earlier which brands offer relative repairs and what you will buy is only your choice and decision.

    Let your friend recommend a washing machine for PLN 1150 :) for years.

    https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/de/pro...knen/waschmaschinen/frontlader-waschmaschinen
    The cheapest and the simplest washing machine Siemens on the German side for the customer of Europe A, goes over 2,000 PLN.
    I wonder where, for whom and from what they produce washing machines for PLN 1,000 each

    Hello.
    The friend is probably well aware that recommending any concrete model is a difficult thing because if a given model will be a few years on the market then you can say anything about how much it is worth.
    In my opinion, the advantage of any washing machine about loading from the front is the ability to replace the bearings if necessary, and as you know in any washing machine will be such a necessity sooner or later.
    Currently, only a few manufacturers offer this option and the choice is limited.
    When it comes to Siemens, the customer pays for the brand and reputation that this manufacturer has made over the years and the technology used in the manufacturer's home appliances.
    Unfortunately, today, after the brand famous for reliability and longevity, there is only a memory, but market laws are inexorable and now all manufacturers are acting in the same way.
    Today even Miele is spoiled more often than before.

    Buddy is all true. The price of the device remains.
    Just as there are no mountain bikes for PLN 1000 (although in the discount I have seen such products), there are no washing machines enough. And especially Siemens, which, as colleague noted, are more expensive.
    Recently, I was buying a washing machine and I accepted a budget of> PLN 2000. I decided that I had the opportunity to buy equipment that was not made from a mortar. I chose the one that was on offer for a client from the West. Will it work for a long time? Miele does not even guarantee that. I did not even look at the bearings. In the previous relatively expensive LG washing machine, the bearings stayed for 15 years, but the module fell just before the end of the warranty.
    In addition to potentially better reliability, there are other device features that depend on the price. But that's everyone's preferences.

    With the model, but no washing machine anymore. Sam uses a 5 year candy, and goes without a break. Model evo 3 1254ls. I would take candy. :)

    Welcome,
    Thank you for the answers. The decision has not been made yet, I still have some time to research the market, although from what it looks like I can basically be indifferent whatever - and it will fall apart ;-)
    I wonder just one thing. Some people say (I read in the meantime a few other similar themes) that there is nothing to look at tanioszki. I am also guided by such an assurance (it is not necessarily correct and I do not know where to take ...), but the problem in this approach lies in the fact that all models with a minimum depth (up to 40 cm) are very cheap and basically do not exceed about 1,500 zlotys ... Well, I do not hide, I'm scared at the low price ;-)

    Hello.
    I will tell you so; My neighbor has a 6 year Samsung washing machine yet without this wonder or Eco Bubble. Two years ago, bearings started to be heard and I replaced it with a new set without problems and the washing machine went on.
    In addition to replacing the bearings and motor pump, the washing machine does not cause any problems.
    Of course, I'm not saying that Samsung is a great and trouble-free brand, but the user gives the opportunity to repair even on their own.
    When buying a washing machine where you can not replace the bearings, you are sentenced to expensive repair in a specialist workshop or to replace the equipment with a new one.
    The replacement of bearings in Samsung can be dealt with by any self-respecting DIY enthusiasts and there is no need to return the machine to the service, but of course you can.
    I do not remember the model of this Samsung, but it is certainly Slim.

    I bought my candy for 1,400 with a hook. I would not say it was cheap. And it's been five years without any problems. Cheap washing machines are rather those below PLN 900. With the fact that something is cheap = bad, I would not overdo it. Sometimes something sits for a long time and overestimate. From just that.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around selecting a washing machine with a maximum depth of 40 cm, focusing on brands such as Hoover, Electrolux, and Candy. Users express concerns about the durability of modern washing machines, noting that many brands, including Siemens, Bosch, and even Miele, have shifted towards producing less reliable, disposable appliances. Recommendations include considering brands like Amica, Samsung, and LG, which offer models that allow for bearing replacements, enhancing longevity. Users share personal experiences with various models, highlighting that while cheaper models may be perceived as low quality, some can perform reliably over time. The conversation emphasizes the importance of repairability and brand reputation in making a purchasing decision.

FAQ

TL;DR: Shopping for 40 cm slim washers? "You have been late 18 years" for lifetime machines; plan around ~2‑year warranties and 3–4‑year replacements. This FAQ helps renters and homeowners choose within depth limits and set realistic expectations. [Elektroda, r103, post #17263525]

Why it matters: It keeps you from buying non‑repairable models that fail early and cost more long‑term.

Quick Facts

Which slim washing machine (≤40 cm depth) is the safest pick right now?

Pick a front‑loader that allows bearing replacement. Shortlist Amica, Samsung, or LG. Skip Hoover, Electrolux, and Candy if repairability matters. Bearings are a common failure, so serviceable designs cut long‑term costs. Features are secondary to core mechanics. “Only a few manufacturers offer this option,” so make it your first filter. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17263538]

Do modern washers still last like older Siemens machines?

No. The era of built‑for‑life washers ended about 18 years ago. Plan around a 2‑year warranty and expect 3–4 years before major repair or replacement. As one expert put it, “you have been late 18 years.” Set expectations and budget with that in mind. [Elektroda, r103, post #17263525]

Is Siemens (or Bosch) still a safe bet for a slim front‑loader?

Treat them like any modern brand, not legends. A tech notes they now trade on reputation and are “disposable.” Buy on design, serviceability, and support rather than a badge. Consider models with replaceable bearings if longevity matters to you. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17265008]

What budget should I set for a 40 cm‑depth front‑loader?

Most slim models with ≤40 cm depth come in at or below about PLN 1,500. If your space is tight, that’s a realistic ceiling for mainstream options. Focus comparisons within that band and weigh repairability and support over extra features. [Elektroda, keleevra, post #17282289]

Are washers under PLN 900 automatically junk?

They’re the “cheap” tier, but low price doesn’t equal bad by default. One user’s Candy cost ~PLN 1,400 and has run five years without issues. Evaluate specific models, service options, and availability of parts before deciding. [Elektroda, wojtek440, post #17282975]

How important is bearing replacement in slim washers?

Very important. Bearings fail commonly. If a brand seals the tub, repair gets expensive or uneconomical. Pick models where bearings can be swapped. “Only a few manufacturers offer this option,” so verify before you buy. This single choice often determines total lifetime cost. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17263538]

Can I replace bearings on a Samsung slim washer myself?

Yes. A tech described a slim Samsung where bearings and the pump were replaced, and the washer kept going. “Any self‑respecting DIY enthusiasts” can tackle it. How‑To: 1) Order a model‑specific bearing and seal kit. 2) Remove rear panel, belt, and pulley. 3) Press out old bearings, fit new ones, reassemble, and test. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17282855]

Is Candy a risky choice for slim washers?

Mixed. One user reports five years of continuous use on a Candy EVO3 1254LS with no problems. That’s a positive data point, not a guarantee. If you choose Candy, track support options and consider simple configurations. [Elektroda, wojtek440, post #17277888]

Are premium brands like Miele still a durability lock?

Not necessarily. A pro observed that “today even Miele is spoiled more often than before.” Modern market dynamics affect all brands. Prioritize build and repairability over logo prestige. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17271874]

If I prefer Electrolux, Hoover, or Candy, what should I expect?

Expect limitations on bearing replacement, which raises repair costs if bearings fail. Choose simpler models without unnecessary gimmicks. Focus on core mechanics and understand potential service pathways before purchase. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17263538]

How do I quickly shortlist a 40 cm‑depth washer?

Do this: 1) Filter to front‑load models with depth ≤40 cm. 2) Prefer brands that allow bearing replacement (Amica, Samsung, LG). 3) Ignore flashy features; pick simple, serviceable designs. This keeps costs and downtime under control. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17263538]

Do I need fancy features like lots of programs or bubbles?

No. Extra features are not required for clean laundry. A pro notes many people buy for looks and “bajerami,” which are not needed for proper washing. Prioritize robust mechanics and repairability first. [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17263538]
