I carefully selected a washing machine that would last a long time, maybe 10 years, and still be affordable. I searched among well-known brands. The Bosch WLG 20060 OE washing machine met all my criteria. It has been working for me for a year now and has met all my expectations in terms of quality. It washes quietly and efficiently compared to my old Italian one. The 5 kg capacity is sufficient. It's a great washing machine, I recommend it to everyone.

The old car was LG brandsI spent a long time choosing a new washing machine and decided to buy a Bosch because it's inexpensive and reliable. Washing is quiet. The only downside is the program length: either short (30 minutes) or very long (2 hours). But you get used to it, because the washing quality is excellent. This model doesn't have a delayed start or a spin speed selector. But that's not a big deal for me, because it's been washing perfectly for several years now. I recommend it.

This mid-range machine is considerably cheaper than the LG. It has standard features and comes with everything you need. One feature I'd like to highlight is the wide, durable rubber band. My old Indesit had a much worse rubber band. The advantages are the narrow body, simple controls, and attractive design. The only drawback is that socks sometimes get caught in the band and won't wash.

We had a 3.5 kg capacity Candy washing machine from Italy for 12 years. But the time came when the heater burned out, so we decided to buy a new one. I was looking for something inexpensive and not made in China, mostly Russian-assembled Indesit and Ariston. I saw a Bosch model WLG 20060 OE and liked it. I read customer reviews online and bought it. I'm not really happy with the fact that it's assembled in Russia, but I don't have any other options.

The most important thing about this washing machine is that it has Aquastop, an anti-vibration system, and simple controls. I leveled it myself and washed my clothes right away. I was surprised by how solid it was, but the only downside is that it makes a slight whistling noise during the spin cycle. Otherwise, everything is great.

I bought a washing machine for $120 in 2014, and I spent a long time carefully researching the market to make the right choice. I want it to last as long as possible. I could have bought a washing machine with all the bells and whistles, but from a lesser-known brand. Let's move on to the advantages of my machine:

• Build quality. Nothing has happened during operation, everything works properly.
• The washing quality is also excellent, all the powder is rinsed out.
• It doesn't make noise or jump around the bathroom.
• The drum is made entirely of metal.
• Compact size.
• Availability of protection against water leakage.

I would like to point out that, as some buyers have reported, there are no problems with the door lock, provided you take good care of the car.

Now a few words about the shortcomings, there were some:

• Few programs, but it's still a budget model. No temperature control switch.
• There is no way to add more water to the drum during washing; the only way is to drain the water and then restart the program.
• Water remains in the rubber seal on the hatch and must be wiped off.
• Narrow tank compared to other machines with the same volume.
• There is no notification about the end of the program.

In general, if you need a no-frills, high-quality car, then you can definitely buy this model.

I bought the machine in January 2013, and after 20 days, problems started occurring. First, it shut off during the wash cycle and started making noise. We had it repaired: they replaced the door lock. A week later, the wash indicator light came on after the spin cycle had finished. It turned out the control module had failed. To replace it, we needed to order a part, which we did. While we wait for the part, we're using the machine, so we don't know what will happen. I'm not happy with this machine.

Anton, Tyumen

We bought a Bosch washing machine online. Delivery and setup were seamless. An error occurred after the first wash, and then the machine stopped working altogether. The service technician complained about the Russian assembly and the drain pump terminals being loose, so they had to be soldered. Now everything works fine, with a slight whistling sound when spinning, which is likely a characteristic of this model.

Elena, Ulan-Ude

I really didn't like the washing machine because it didn't wash well, despite the high temperature. The laundry twirled in the drum, but the dirt didn't come off. When spinning, it behaves like an airplane taking off, making an annoying sound. The programs aren't optimal, either too long or too short. There's no separate spin mode, and the spin cycle can't be adjusted at all. The rubber seal stinks terribly.

Oksana, Rostov-on-Don

This washing machine is terrible. It doesn't clean clothes, they look washed out. Delicate clothes should be thrown out after just a few washes. I'm completely disappointed.

So, let's sum it up. The Bosch WLG 20060 OE washing machine is generally well-liked by people, appealing for its simplicity and low price. There are very few negative impressions or complaints. The final verdict is yours, happy shopping!
