Vertical washing machines: 5 popular models

Whirlpool AWE 2215 white

The budget category model from Whirlpool provides thirteen washing programs. In addition to the standard modes that allow you to wash woolen and cotton products, there is an express wash, a mode for delicate fabrics, and a pre-wash. The control panel of the washing machine, where the mode is selected, is very simple. It does not provide a display, and rotary switches help to indicate the programme and other washing parameters.

The machine is compact (90x40x60 cm), like the other members of our TOP-5. Therefore, for AWE 2215 there will certainly be a place in the bathroom or in the kitchen in an ordinary apartment. At the same time, its 5.5-liter drum can wash clothes for a family of 2-3 people. It is important that she has an A washing class - like more expensive models. Therefore, the machine performs the washing process efficiently.

Along with the advantages, people also note several disadvantages of the Whirlpool AWE 2215 washing machine. First of all, they felt the lack of a display, as well as insufficiently high spin speeds - 800 revolutions (mode D). However, the owners of this model claim that the laundry after washing and spinning comes out almost dry. Many also noted that the appliances are not equipped with the "protection from children" function and do not allow washing to the floor of the volume.

Summing up, we can say that this model is a good option for a small family. Whirlpool saves a significant amount of money when buying a machine and can do daily laundry.

Zanussi ZWY 50904 white

The second position on our list is occupied by a washing machine from a well-known manufacturer from Italy, Zanussi (which has been owned by Electrolux since 1984). The ZWY 50904 model can also be attributed to the budget category of equipment. Many buyers are quite satisfied with the balance between the low price of the device and its quality of work.

The machine provides eight programs for washing - the minimum figure in our review. In addition to the basic programs that help wash cotton and wool, this model gently launders delicate items and does not damage synthetic fabrics.

The compact design of the washing machine allows it to be installed even in a small bathroom. This model has dimensions of 40 by 60 cm and is equipped with a drum with a capacity of 5.5 kg. That is, she will easily wash things for a family, which consists of 2 or 3 people. The control panel is simple, so every owner of this technique will be able to understand all the intricacies of control. The ZWY 50904 does not have a display, and the desired mode is set using mechanical switches.

Zanussi is equipped with additional features that add convenience when working with it. For example, there is leakage protection, foam control, a delay start timer. She also has a Fuzzy Logic system, which is also present in the more expensive Electrolux EWT 1264. Fuzzy Logic helps to optimally use water and laundry detergent. The "chip" of this model can be called Airflow technology, which prevents the formation of odors and mold in the drum. But caring parents noted the lack of the “protection from children” function.

If we talk about the shortcomings of technology, then they include the lack of a display, and some people may not have enough drying. At the same time, given the price of the product, you should not expect from it the functions that only a more expensive washing machine can provide. The equipment washes efficiently and carefully, wringing out clothes at 900 rpm, which is slightly higher than that of the previous model. Although the spin class is the same - D. But, despite this moment, the owners of this technique claim that the laundry at the output is almost dry.

In conclusion, let's say that Zanussi is compact, its price will suit thrifty consumers, but, perhaps, you should not buy it for those who have restless kids at home.

Washing machine Candy EVOT 10061 D satisfies the needs of most buyers. Loading laundry, as in other models, provides for a vertical position, which is quite convenient when working with the device. Six kilograms of laundry can be placed in the rotating washing drum without having to bend over. The machine provides fifteen washing programs, users assure that the device perfectly copes with this process, helping to carry out not only washing clothes in the main mode, but also quick washing, as well as washing delicate clothes, pre-washing.

Among the advantages of EVOT 10061 D, we note economical water consumption, the device takes only 48 liters in one cycle, as well as A ++ energy class (the best indicator in the TOP-5). "Stiralka" is equipped with additional functions that are very convenient when working with the device. For example, by activating the delay start timer, you can load the laundry into the machine, pour in the powder, pour in the rinse aid and set the technique to the right time. The device will start working exactly at the time indicated by the owner of the equipment. The system "leak protection", "foaming control", etc. is also provided.

Compact dimensions (40 by 63 cm) do not take up much space, so Candy can be installed in a convenient place for work. Even in a small bathroom, a model of this design will look great and there will be plenty of free space in the room. Each user will be able to cope with the control system, which includes mechanical switches and an electronic interface (even if he buys his first washing machine).

If we talk about the shortcomings of the EVOT 10061 D, then users noted only one - the lack of a “drying clothes” mode. We can say that the “washer” performed by Candy provides enough functions to help you work, is equipped with a capacious drum, and the quality of the device corresponds to its price.

Electrolux EWT1264ILW white

The next universal model is the Electrolux EWT 1264 washing machine. Discreet design and compact dimensions allow you to install this appliance in a place convenient for you. And despite its compact design, the machine allows you to wash six kilograms of laundry in one cycle. This means that daily laundry can take place even in a large family.

Users on the Web noted the absence of a laundry soaking programme and a “half load” mode. But the number of advantages of this model outweighs these disadvantages, which are not critical for the majority. So, the EWT 1264 model provides fourteen washing programs. With the help of a "washer", according to the owners, you can rid your things of even the most difficult stains. For example, when choosing the “wool” mode, woolen items will be carefully washed, and if you need to refresh a shirt or T-shirt, you can use the “quick wash” function.

The maximum spin speed is 1200 rpm. The owners confirm that this speed is quite enough for an excellent spin, the linen in the end comes out almost dry. Importantly, the machine's energy efficiency is rated A++, allowing you to spend less money than with models like the Whirlpool AWE 2215.

The control panel with touch elements will be an advantage of the device for those who appreciate modern technologies in home appliances. We also note additional functions that help when working with the machine. You can delay the start at the right time, which is very convenient in some situations. Many will appreciate the presence of intelligent Fuzzy Logic control, which weighs the laundry during loading and helps determine the optimal washing temperature, spin speed and other parameters. And caring parents will be pleased with the presence of the "protection from children" function, which does not allow restless kids to turn on the equipment inadvertently. As a result, we can say about Electrolux that it is made with high quality, corresponds to its price, and is suitable for a large family with children.

Bosch WOT 24255 white

The latest model that we chose for review is made by the well-known German manufacturer Bosch. Many will appreciate the presence of her display and intelligent control. The ActiveWater system saves water and energy, while the AllergyPlus programme removes allergenic substances from clothing, underwear and other substances. We note that the machine belongs to the A+++ energy efficiency class. Given that such equipment is bought for 5 years or more, this will save money in the future.

Model WOT 24255 has eleven washing programs provided by the manufacturer. Users assure that the device perfectly launders things, helps to carry out washing - express, carefully launders delicate and woolen things, remarkably removes even the oldest stains. By choosing the washing mode for children's clothes, you will get wonderfully washed children's clothes, on which there will not be a single spot. At any time, you can use the delay start - the timer of this function is designed for 24 hours.

Despite all that, the owners of WOT 24255 were able to detect a few minor flaws. First of all, the lack of "protection from children" was noted, as well as a tank made of plastic. When using it, you do not need to monitor the contents of the pockets of things that are sent to the washing machine. After all, things are erased in a drum that rotates inside the tank, and cannot cause mechanical damage to the latter. So do not worry about this, besides, in other models it is also plastic.

Based on the foregoing, we can say that this model of a washing machine is attractive, high-quality and functional. The capacious drum, designed for 6.5 kg of laundry, allows you to wash things in a large family, and the quality of both washing and spinning cannot be faulted. Although Bosch costs a lot.
