15 best washing machines with steam function

Rating of the best washing machines with steam function

Electrolux EW8WR261B

Rating: 4.9

One of the most beautiful devices, which can easily take a place not only in the bathroom but also in the kitchen, becoming its decoration. Most of the body here is painted in the usual white color, and a huge boot lid has been given a tinted glass. On the top of the device there is a control panel, consisting of a mode selector and touch buttons. No complaints about the latter, they are not pressed by accident.

Full-size type (the depth of this monster reaches 63 cm) allows the machine to accept 10 kg of laundry. This is a huge number! It should suit even those families with five or six people. And the large size has allowed the manufacturer to give their creation additional functions. And in this case we are not talking about the possibility of steam. The appliance has a built-in dryer that reacts to residual moisture. This gives you almost entirely dry bed linen at the end of the day. And let’s not even mention T-shirts and shirts, they become dry after the spin, which can take place at speeds up to 1600 rpm. By the way, the spinning capacity here corresponds to class A, which is the highest.

Note that drying here has some limitations. If you want to use it, then be sure to load 6kg or less of laundry inside the drum. However, this limitation is inherent in all washing machines with a built-in dryer.

Such large appliances usually consume huge amounts of electricity. In the case of Electrolux EW8WR261B this statement is true only partially. The experts awarded the device with the A class energy consumption. Not bad, but some representatives of our rating are able to boast of an even higher class – with several pluses. And the washing performance is also A-rated. And only in terms of water consumption this model can not be called economical. If you load it to its full program, the machine will need 115 liters! However, more often than not, you won’t load the drum half as much, so the consumption will be lower.

Otherwise, this is a typical washing machine that sells for a pretty penny. It has a leak-proof water. Its control panel is easy to lock so that your child can’t accidentally start it. It also has electronic control of foam level and imbalance. And 14 wash programs are the best option. In such a number it is difficult to confuse; all modes that come to mind are available. However, not all. I would like to see “crease prevention” function. But alas. But there is a steam jet, which works without too many problems. Do not forget only that activation of this function will slightly delay the washing process.

Such washing machines are not silent. Measurements show that the Electrolux EW8WR261B makes 51dB of noise. It’s quite bearable. During spinning, the noise level rises to 77 dB. It goes without saying that this figure is achieved with a serious drum load and selection of maximum speed of its rotation. Needless to say, these situations will occur rarely?

Advantages

• There is a timer to delay the beginning of the wash;
• Cute design;
• Optimal number of washing programs;
• Huge capacity;
• It has a built-in dryer;
• High-speed spinning;
• Numerous safety features are implemented;
• No complaints about the steam output.

Disadvantages

• Increased water consumption;
• A huge cost;
• Decent noise level;
• Big size.

Bosch WDU 28590

Rating: 4.8

Another full-sized washing machine. And even larger, its depth reaches 65 cm. There is a chance that it will stand apart from all other appliances and plumbing items. In this case, you will surely be pleased with the pattern stamped on the side panel. As for the boot lid, it is very large and beautiful. Nothing bad can be said about the control panel. Although it is impossible not to admit that the selector and touch buttons at first you will have to get used to.

This washing machine can hold 10kg of dry laundry. Such loading should suit absolutely any family. A large capacity is probably only required for the laundry room. I am pleased that the machine not only washes the clothes, but also dries them. It’s a pity that the built-in dryer cannot be called smart. It can’t be guided by how wet the laundry still is – if the timer runs out, the dryer shuts off anyway.

This machine is capable of spinning the drum up to 1400 rpm. Oddly enough, this is enough only for the appliance to be awarded spin efficiency class B. We can be sure that the dryer will be activated nearly every time we wash the clothes. Also this model received energy class A and this washing efficiency class.

A total of 14 washing programs are available to the user. Among them, there are all the necessary modes, including those necessary for washing woolen items. The manufacturer did not forget about the delay timer to start the wash, which can be set at any time. And this one also offers a large number of additional functions. The appliance is even able to prevent crumpling! And it has steam, and that is why it got into our review.

Such a large washing machine can not do with a minimum amount of water. If you load it with ten kilograms of laundry, then be prepared to spend about 125 liters of water. Fortunately, the need to wash such volumes of laundry is rare.

Interesting that it is one of the quietest members of our rating. While the spin has not started, measurements in the immediate vicinity of the unit show only 47 dB. This is nothing compared to most competitors. Spinning, of course, affects the result – the noise level can rise to 71 dB. But even this is tolerable for a full-size model.

Otherwise, it is a typical washing machine, the production of which almost did not save. Childproof lock is available. The device is also protected against leaks. And this model also got foam level and imbalance control. The device stands out due to the presence of a drum light. It allows you not to forget the sock left in it.

Advantages

• Huge capacity;
• Built-in dryer is present;
• Not the highest power consumption;
• Numerous safety features have been implemented;
• There are useful additional functions;
• The steam supply works without too many problems;
• There is a timer of delayed beginning of washing;
• There is a light in the drum;
• Low noise level.

Disadvantages

• Drying is only time oriented;
• High cost;
• Large size;
• Not the best spinning efficiency;
• Decent water consumption.

LG FH-6G1BC

N

Rating: 4.8

This washing machine is also a full-sized. And it’s only 58 cm deep. This is important when the bathroom has a fairly narrow doorway. The appearance of this model can not be called elegant. But the manufacturer does not ask for some bullshit money. In Russia this appliance can be purchased for 55 thousand. rubles. Not much, especially when you consider that the machine is capable of washing 9kg of laundry.

This has to be one of the least expensive of the dryers out there. It is nice that this built-in item has five programs. Such an amount allowed to realize the sensor that determines the residual moisture. But you should remember that the dryer is only designed for 6kg of laundry.

But let’s get back to the laundry. The machine offers a total of 15 programs. Among the additional functions can be noted not only steam, but also direct injection. The only thing you can regret is the absence of the “Crease Prevention” function.

The appliance has been awarded washing efficiency class A. For each kilogram of laundry, the machine spends about 0.1 kWh. It corresponds to class A. Experts have awarded the same class to the appliance for spinning. It is carried out here at a speed of up to 1400 rpm. The laundry is semi-dry at the end, and sports shirts can even be put on, especially in summer.

Washing can be postponed. It’s important for times of day and day-based charging. For one cycle it takes about 48 liters of water. Again, for such a large washing machine, this is not very much.

Perhaps some of the Vestfrost VFWD 1461 W owners can only complain about the noise level. During the washing it reaches 58 dB. It’s already tangible. And during the spin this parameter can go up to 77 dB. That’s why we wouldn’t recommend putting this model anywhere in the kitchen.

Advantages

• The diameter of the loading hatch reaches 33 cm;
• A large number of washing programs;
• Quality steam supply;
• There is a timer to delay the start of the wash;
• There is a leakage and child protection;
• Excellent spin;
• Not a very high water consumption;
• Low power consumption;
• The control is simple to master;
• There is a built-in dryer;
• Good capacity.

Disadvantages

• The large size and 80-kilogram weight;
• Burrs may occur on plastic parts;
• Not the lowest noise level.

Electrolux EW7WR447W

Rating: 4.7

Another full-size washing machine for the smallest price. But it is impossible to call it especially affordable, and in this regard, the manufacturer almost did not save. He’s built his 57-cm-deep creation with a steam feature. It provides good absorption of detergent into the depths of fabric. Unfortunately, among the other additional sub-modes, which are complemented by 14 standard programs, it is impossible to note anything really. The device does not even know how to prevent creasing, which is why it is not at the top of our rating.

This machine can not be called particularly roomy. You can load a maximum of 7kg of laundry in it. And only if you are not going to then activate the built-in dryer, because it is designed only for 4 kg of laundry. It is pleased that the drying is oriented to the residual moisture. That means it won’t shut off before its time.

It should be recognized that this model is very good washing. At the same time it consumes an extremely low amount of electricity. But it cannot be said about the water consumption. It can easily consume 92 litres per cycle if you fill the drum to capacity. Honestly, that’s quite a lot. Also, the appliance is not the best at spinning. And this despite the fact that the drum is capable of spinning up to a speed of 1400 rpm. It is not clear what the problem is connected to. Certainly, someone will be satisfied with spin class B, especially if there is a dryer.

The device has child protection, the control panel is blocked without much trouble. There is also a full-fledged water leakage protection. Not forgotten and all sorts of electronic controls that monitor the imbalance and foam level. The start of washing can be postponed, which is important for those who at night pay for electricity consumption at a reduced rate.

Finally, we should tell you about the noise level. When washing it barely reaches 51 dB, which makes the machine very quiet. However, during spinning the noise level can reach 76 dB. In a word, the Electrolux EW7WR447W leaves a mixed impression. As you have understood, it’s not just its noisiness.

Advantages

• There is a built-in dryer;
• Not very high power consumption;
• Good protection against leaks;
• A large number of programs;
• No special claims to the steam supply;
• It has a timer of delayed beginning of washing.

Disadvantages

• I would like to have more capacity;
• High water consumption;
• Not the best spinning efficiency;
• Still not a particularly low price tag.

Gorenje WS 168LNST

Rating: 4.7

This washing machine is quite different from the others. First of all, it has a huge loading hatch with translucent glass. Secondly, the control panel is shifted upwards. In a word, such a device will decorate any kitchen. You don’t want to put it in the bathroom at all.

We must admit that the Gorenje WS 168LNST may simply not pass in the bathroom. The fact is that the depth of this model is 61 cm. This means that it may not squeeze through some doorways. Another problem is the weight of 83 kilograms – even two grown men will drag the machine with considerable difficulty.

The large size has allowed the manufacturer to achieve a good capacity. The drum can be loaded a maximum of 10kg of laundry. It will be washed in the best way, as evidenced by the corresponding class A. The nice thing is that this process does not require a lot of energy. The experts gave the appliance energy class A+++. This is the highest score. The device does not have any problems with wringing. The drum is able to spin up to 1600 rpm in this mode. As you know, this is the maximum – at this speed of rotation can damage many delicate fabrics, this should be taken into account.

The corresponding selector here provides 14 programs. The washing machine also provides several additional functions. For example, you should be pleased with the steam outflow, thanks to which the powder penetrates into the depths of fabric. There are numerous ways to save water, as well as speeding up the washing.

Of course, the machine has a timer to delay the start of washing. In Russia it is useful only in a few regions, but in Europe and the United States would not even look at the Gorenje WS 168LNST, if it was deprived of such a timer. Another important feature of this model is the inverter motor. Such a motor is quiet and durable. The noise level of the washing machine is less than 54 dB. This is if we talk about the washing process. The spin is noisier, measurements during it can show 75 dB.

Advantages of

• Huge capacity;
• Very low power consumption;
• Good spinning efficiency;
• There is protection against children and water leaks;
• A large number of programs;
• Well-implemented steam supply;
• There is a timer of the washing delay;
• The drum is illuminated.

Disadvantages

• Great weight;
• Hard to find in Russian stores;
• High noise level when wringing and pouring the water.

Samsung WW70K62E69S

Rating: 4.6

Another nice washing machine, able to decorate any kitchen. It has an elegant top panel with touch buttons and small digital display. At the bottom there is a charging hatch. In it you can notice a separate door. It serves for additional loading of laundry. This interesting feature was previously present only in top-loading washing machines, but now it is available in models with a front hatch. It’s sure to please anyone who regularly finds some socks when the washing process has already begun.

It should be noted that the Samsung WW70K62E69S is narrow – its depth is only 45 cm. Herewith this model can not be called weak. Its drum is capable of rotating 7 kilograms of laundry. You can start the washing process not only through the control panel, but also through your smartphone. Washing efficiency is maximum here. It does not use much electricity – about 0.13 kWh per kg of laundry. As a result, the experts awarded the South Korean appliance the appropriate A grade+++. And this washing machine is also notable for its low water consumption, which is about 42 liters per cycle. In short, it is one of the most economical models in our list.

The advantages of this machine include its 54-kilogram weight. This means that two grown men can easily carry the purchase into the house. There are good electronic “brains” inside this model. They monitor the foam level, and at the same time regulate the imbalance. There is also a child protection. This is important because the buttons are mostly touch-sensitive – a small child can easily press them by accident. The Samsung WW70K62E69S has also a leakage protection, albeit only partial.

This model has 14 washing programs. It has got extra features. And among them there is a steam supply. However, it is not implemented here in the best way – the modest size of the device and the manufacturer’s attempt to reduce power consumption have an impact. Also among the disadvantages can be attributed to the spin, which has an efficiency class of B. Only T-shirts and underwear become semi-dry after spinning at 1200 rpm. The situation could have been saved by the built-in dryer, but it is not here.

It remains to add that the device has received a ceramic heating element, which is unlikely to ever fail. As for the noise level, it reaches 54 and 73 dB during washing and spinning, respectively. Not so high parameter, which is not intimidating even if the washing machine is installed in the kitchen.

Advantages

• Good capacity;
• Cute design;
• Can be controlled by smartphone;
• Modest size and weight;
• Available to refill the laundry;
• A very high power class;
• Not a very big water consumption;
• A large number of programs;
• Low noise level.

Disadvantages

• Still, the spinning is not ideal;
• Not very powerful steam;
• Smartphone app – too limited.

LG AI DD F2V9GW9P

Rating: 4.5

Extremely unusual washing machine from the company LG is able to please with its dark coloring of the case. This makes it the best choice for kitchens that have a large number of black and gray appliances. It is sure to fit even in a tiny patch, as it is only 47 cm deep.

This model has a weight of 60 kilograms, so that its transportation does not cause any problems. It is run by a direct-drive motor. This allows you to count on a very long life, not to mention the low noise level. Measurements show that during the washing the appliance emits noise at the level of only 52 dB. The wringing, of course, is noisier, but 70 dB is not an excessive parameter.

The nice thing is that you can even control this model from your smartphone. The user will be provided with a total of 14 programs. There are also additional features. One of them you already know, we are talking about steam. Steam power is quite high and allows the molecules of the detergent to penetrate deep enough into the fabric. And pushing the appropriate button will also allow you to get not particularly crumpled laundry at the output, which allows you to remember about the iron as rarely as possible.

Loading the laundry here is carried out through the 35-centimeter hatch. the drum can hold a maximum of 8.5 kilograms of laundry. Excellent result for a narrow model! To wash such amount of laundry it will consume only 55 liters. The washing efficiency is very high. However, if it were not so – the machine simply would not be in our review. This model also belongs to power class A. Not the highest, but you can be sure that the device will not almost affect the electricity bills. And only the wringing is not as happy here as everything else. In this mode, the drum starts rotating at up to 1200 rpm. Alas, this is not enough for many things to get completely dry. However, most customers are more than satisfied with even this parameter.

Advantages

• There is child and water leakage protection;
• There are many useful additional functions;
• Low noise level;
• The steam supply is implemented in the best way;
• Can be part of a smart home;
• Not very high water consumption;
• The unusual design;
• Very good capacity;
• Modest size and weight;
• Can be reloaded with extra laundry.

Disadvantages

• The spin could be even better.

Whirlpool FWD 91283 WS

Rating: 4.4

This is a full-size washing machine, which has a familiar appearance. Its depth is 63 cm. Such a parameter allowed the manufacturer to achieve a 9-kilogram capacity. There are no complaints about the washing process. It’s no coincidence that experts give this appliance an A rating. It should be noted that at this point the device is almost no noise – measurements will show only 52 dB. But the spinning is a different matter, this process seems to many buyers too noisy.

In total, this machine offers 16 washing programs. Among them you can find absolutely everything you need. There are additional functions. Among them there is even a steam jet, thanks to which it is possible to achieve better penetration of detergent into the depths of fabric. And the machine can also try to prevent creasing. Not forgotten is the extra rinse, which is necessary when washing children’s clothes.

This appliance has an energy class A+++. This means that its operation will not affect the electricity bill for sure. The machine tries not to consume too much water, too. The average consumption for one cycle is 58 liters.

Whirlpool FWD 91283 WS is able to spin the drum at 1200 rpm. This allows you to get semi-dry underwear and T-shirts like this. With denser fabrics can be a problem, they will have to dry quite a long time on a rope. That is why experts have awarded this model with the spinning efficiency class B, but not higher.

In other respects it is a typical washing machine, having a leak and child protection. Not forgotten here, all sorts of control, where the electronics monitors the imbalance and foam level. Perhaps the only difference to older models is the presence of a liquid detergent compartment.

Advantages

• Very large capacity;
• The maximum power class;
• A very large number of washing programs;
• Not the highest water consumption;
• There is water and leakage protection;
• There is a timer to delay the start of the wash;
• Steam supply is not badly implemented;
• The machine knows how to prevent crumpling.

Disadvantages

• Large size and weight;
• High cost;
• High noise level when wringing;
• One still can not call the machine particularly quiet.

Electrolux EW6F4R28WU

Rating: 4.4

One of the least expensive washing machines among those belonging to the full-size type. However, it should be noted that the dimensions of this model are still far from the maximum ones. The manufacturer has reduced the depth to 55 cm. Because of this, the capacity of the appliance did not become a record. However, 8 kg is quite adequate parameter, which should suit the majority of families living in our country.

This model handles laundry almost perfectly. For this purpose, it offers the user 14 programs. Also, he can choose some additional functions. For example, a person can activate the steam. It will slightly increase the duration of washing, but it makes it even more effective.

The beginning of the washing can be delayed. However, the appropriate timer is now present in almost all models, the price of which does not come down to a couple of tens of thousands of rubles. But not all washing machines are energy efficient. In this case, the experts awarded the Electrolux EW6F4R28WU an appropriate A grade+++. More precisely, about 0.12 kWh is wasted for each kilogram of laundry. Nothing bad can be said about the water consumption, which usually does not exceed 52 liters.

Perhaps it is only possible to pick on the wringing. The drum rotation speed in this mode does not exceed 1200 rpm, which is why the machine was assigned spinning efficiency class B. However, it should be noted that many families have enough of this. After all, quite a few Russians still use washing machines that are not capable of rotating the drum even at such a speed. Another disadvantage is the high noise level. Especially strongly the machine strains during spinning, when it begins to sound rather loud whistling. As for the rest, I don’t think anyone will have any complaints. There is a leakage protection, the control panel is easy to lock. All kinds of electronic controls are not forgotten either.

Advantages of

• There is a timer to postpone the beginning of the wash;
• A large capacity;
• Affordable cost;
• Very high power consumption class;
• Not a very high water consumption;
• There is protection against children and leaks;
• There are many useful features.

Disadvantages

• A very high noise level;
• Not the best spin;
• Heavy weight.

Samsung WW65K42E08W

Rating: 4.3

You regularly encounter a situation where the socks are found after the washing process has been started? In this case, you need to buy a washing machine that supports the additional loading of laundry. In particular, such a possibility is implemented in the Samsung WW65K42E08W. To do this, you must first suspend the washing, then open the small door in the loading hatch, and throw the found items. Then you just have to press the “Pause” button again to restart the process.

This washing machine has a very low price tag. But you have to put up with the fact that inside you can be loaded only 6.5 kg of laundry. But the device turned out narrow – its depth does not exceed 45 cm. This allows you to place the machine in many bathrooms. And two adults will not spend all their energy to do it, because this model weighs only 54 kg.

The familiar control panel is used to select the mode of operation. It is also possible to use a smartphone. A total of 12 washing programs are available here. Among additional functions it is possible to note steam, economical washing and super rinse. The machine is not able to prevent crumpling. And the steam supply is carried out here under not particularly powerful pressure, so someone will find it useless. This can also be said about the bubble method of washing.

Experts awarded this model the washing efficiency class A. It also boasts of a similar energy efficiency class. In terms of water consumption, then for one wash goes about 39 liters. A little. But this is not surprising, because the drum of this washing machine is very small.

As for the wringing, it is done at drum rotation speed of up to 1200 rpm. This is enough for many families, because there is often always room to hang laundry for its final drying. But the experts know that you could have achieved a better result by awarding this model with a spin efficiency class of B.

In other respects the Samsung WW65K42E08W does not differ from many other average washing machines. There is a child protection, locking the control panel if necessary. The leakage protection has not been forgotten. It is partial here, but it is better than nothing. Electronic control, necessary for maintaining an adequate level of foam, is also implemented here. As for the noise level, when washing and spinning, it is 54 and 73 dB, respectively.

Advantages

• Can be controlled from a smartphone;
• Not very large size and weight;
• Low cost;
• Low water consumption;
• There is a child and leakage protection;
• Not the highest power consumption;
• A reliable ceramic heater is used.

Disadvantages

• Not the best spin;
• Not a lot of washing programs;
• Steam supply is not the best.

Candy GVSW40 364TWHC

Rating: 4.2

Another very inexpensive washing machine. It is not full-sized, but also it is not particularly narrow – the depth of this model is 40 cm. Usually devices with such a price suffer from a lot of shortcomings. But this is not the case. The manufacturer has achieved that his creation could spin up 6 kilograms of laundry, that for such dimensions can be considered a good result. What’s more, this one has an in-built dryer that reads residual moisture! Too bad that it can only be activated by washing 4kg or less of laundry.

This washing machine is leak proof. It is not afraid of children who like to press all sorts of buttons. This appliance also has built-in electronic control over the foam level and imbalance. As to washing programs, everything you need is provided. The user can activate various additional functions. For example, it can ask the machine to prevent crumpling the laundry, so then do not have to wield the iron. Or you can turn on the steam. Implemented here and direct injection. In short, in this regard, there are no complaints to this model.

Are there any disadvantages of 64kg Candy GVSW40 364TWHC? Unfortunately, it was not without them. The most disappointing is the wringer, which deserves only a B grade. And this despite the fact that the drum in this mode is capable of rotating at speeds up to 1300 rpm! This is a good indication that it is not enough just to provide the machine with a fast rotating drum motor. Even more upsetting for some people will be the power consumption class of B. And only the water consumption is quite sane. However, there are more economical instances in this regard as well.

You should choose this model if you need a roomy washer for not much money, equipped with a 35-centimeter door and at least some drying. At the same time you have to put up with a very serious level of noise that occurs during spinning.

Advantages

• A huge loading hatch;
• The washing has a timer to delay the start of washing;
• Not very large size and weight;
• There is a built-in dryer;
• Control from a smartphone is available;
• Leak and child protection are implemented;
• A large number of useful additional programs;
• Low cost.

Disadvantages

• It is impossible to call the washing machine quiet;
• The dryer is designed for a small amount of laundry;
• Low power consumption class;
• Not very efficient spinning.

LG Steam F2M5HS4W

Rating: 4.1

One of the most inexpensive washing machines among the ones that support the addition of laundry. To implement this function, the South Koreans have placed the 35-cm loading hatch a little higher. As a result, the user has the opportunity not only to press the “Pause” button, but also to open the hatch after that – the water will not come out. Therefore, it is possible to safely throw the found laundry, and then continue the washing cycle. By the way, the water consumption here usually does not exceed 48 liters, which can be considered an adequate value.

This washing machine is narrow. Its depth is only 45 cm. This means that the 60-kilogram appliance can fit in many bathrooms, and the doorway for it is certainly not too narrow. Interestingly, the modest size does not prevent this model boasts a 7-kilogram capacity. We managed to achieve such a parameter by dispensing with the built-in dryer. Well, after washing we will have to engage the spin, which is carried out here at speeds up to 1200 rpm, and hang the laundry on the rope. The wringer is noisy, but not too noisy (measurements show 74 dB). You have the direct drive for that. It also contributes to the longevity of the washing machine. Nothing bad can be said about the power consumption – it corresponds to class A.

A curious feature of this model is the tank. The thing is that it is made of stainless steel. Nothing is likely to happen to it even if you accidentally leave some small solid objects in the pockets of your clothes. As for the program component, then a total of 14 modes are available to the user. Additional features available. For example, you can activate the steam or ask the washing machine to fight the crumpling of laundry. And also through a special app on your smartphone, you can add the 15th washing program by selecting it from an extensive list.

The built-in electronics reacts adequately to the appearance of imbalance and an increase in the amount of foam. Also here is protection from children, possessing unreal curiosity. But there is no leakage protection here. Sadly.

Advantages

• Through a smartphone, you can add another program;
• The tank is made of stainless steel;
• Modest size and weight;
• A large number of additional functions;
• There is a timer for delayed start of washing;
• Childproofing is not forgotten;
• Not very high power consumption;
• Not the highest water consumption;
• Good capacity;
• Affordable price tag.

Disadvantages

• Not the highest spin efficiency class;
• No leakage protection;
• Short water supply hose;
• There’s always water left in the rubber seal.

Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S4R27W

Rating: 4.0

Another relatively inexpensive washing machine. It is also narrow. The 45-cm depth allows you to place the device even in a small bathroom, it is easy to squeeze it through the doorway. At the same time the device turned out to be extremely capacious – the manufacturer claimed the ability to load 7 kg of laundry. By no means unimportant, it spends not too much power on washing. This is evidenced by the power consumption class A+++. Not every machine can boast of such parameters! Not a lot of water consumption – about 52 liters. However, this figure can not be called very minimal.

Unlike some other models, the Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S4R27W has no built-in dryer. So, we have to rely on the spin. And it is not the most impressive, as evidenced by the corresponding B class. And it is also very noisy – the measurements in the immediate vicinity of the washing machine will show 77 dB.

The manufacturer has given its creation a good leakage protection. The user can also lock the control panel, so that a curious child does not press anything, thereby accidentally starting the process. By the way, 14 washing programs and additional functions can be selected via this panel. Among the latter, it is possible to note the steam feature that facilitates deep penetration of the detergent into the fabric structure. Also, many will like the “Crease Prevention” function. Not everyone wants to wield the iron.

Otherwise, it is the usual inexpensive washing machine. Its tank is made of plastic. The washing process here can be delayed. Well, the drum rotation speed when spinning can reach 1200 rpm. These are the characteristics that should satisfy many buyers.

Advantages

• Very good capacity;
• The modest size and weight;
• Low cost;
• A very high power consumption class;
• The leakage and child protection are implemented;
• Large number of optional features;
• There is a timer to delay the beginning of the wash;
• Low cost.

Disadvantages

• Spinning at high speed can ruin laundry;
• Decent noise level;
• The narrow powder compartment;
• The fast washing mode is implemented incorrectly.

Hotpoint-Ariston VMSG 622 ST B

Rating: 4.0

Our selection is rounded out with the cheapest washing machine among those endowed with the steam function. In Russian stores for her only asked 21 thousand. rubles. It is clear that for this money you should not wait for the extraordinary parameters. But for the most part this model should suit any customer. Even those who expect a large capacity from such an appliance, because here it is 6 kg of laundry.

The depth of this machine does not exceed 44 cm. This means that it should fit not only in the kitchen, but also in most bathrooms. The weight of this model is 62.5 kg. This is quite acceptable, two adult men will cope with the delivery without much difficulty. Another important advantage is the low power consumption, corresponding here to class A++. In numbers, it means that it spends 0.15 kWh per 1 kg of laundry. Also, it should be noted that the washing machine almost never wastes more than 50 liters of water.

Unlike many other representatives of our rating, Hotpoint-Ariston VMSG 622 ST B offers 16 washing programs. As for additional functions, among them we can highlight only the steam supply. But it also does not work in the best way – many buyers most often refuse to use it for several reasons. By the way, the start of washing can be postponed for any period – there is a corresponding timer. Well, to load the laundry in this machine uses a 34-cm hatch.

If you can not say anything bad about the anti-spill protection and children, then you can not say anything bad about the wringing. First of all, it only complies with class B. This means that the laundry will have to dry on a rope for some time. Secondly, when wringing this machine emits too much hum. Measurements show that the noise level can be as high as 84 dB. And at the time of washing, this device is by no means silent. Therefore, we do not recommend placing the Hotpoint-Ariston VMSG 622 ST B in the kitchen or in the hallway.

Conclusion

Now you know what washing machines with steam function are worth paying your attention to. As you may have noticed, in expensive models, the corresponding mode does not have any complaints. Alas, but this can not be said about mid-budget appliances. This can be explained by the fact that the manufacturer has to save money – the steam supply in such machines is performed under a weak head, and the number of steam outlets leaves much to be desired. But we will not argue that the steam function in such devices is completely useless.
