Hotpoint Ariston WMSF 6013 B Washing Machine Reviews

Indesit Company, owner of the renowned Hotpoint Ariston brand, has firmly established itself in the Russian market for budget washing machines. Paradoxically, Hotpoint Ariston appliances are superior in quality to Indesit-branded machines—at least, that's the opinion of many experts and consumers. We won't discuss this technical detail today; instead, let's take a closer look at the Hotpoint Ariston WMSF 6013 B washing machine and read reviews.

What do men think?

Sergey, Yaroslavl

Last year, we bought a Hotpoint Ariston WMSF 6013 B at a good price. The salesperson recommended it to us. He was a smart guy, by the way, and quickly and competently explained the differences between machines. He named the three best models in our price range, and within 10 minutes we were already making our purchase. It turned out to be a great purchase.

• Cool build.
• Large drum for 6 kg of laundry.

When washing, I try not to overload the drum; I put in a maximum of 4.5-5 kg, then the result is perfect.

• Modern display and electronic control.
• Overflow protection.
• Self-diagnosis of faults, etc.

For the price we paid, it's hard to find a better washing machine. It does have its drawbacks, though. Despite the high-speed spin, the laundry remains quite damp. Our old machine had a more basic design, but it spun more thoroughly. Hotpoint Ariston models are said to be quiet; I don't know about other models, but my washing machine is very noisy. Overall, after weighing the pros and cons, I decided it's an okay machine. I wouldn't give it a five, but it definitely deserves a four.

Matvey, Voronezh

Very disappointed with the purchase. The machine turned out to be of poor quality, it doesn’t perform its function, it breaks down often and makes a lot of noise when filling with water and when spinning. I've been using it for a year and a half and spent $65 on repairs. I don't recommend it!

Oleg, Yekaterinburg

You shouldn't expect much from a budget washing machine, and I didn't either. I just wanted it to wash properly and last at least a while. It hasn't broken down, but that doesn't make things any easier for me, because the washing machine doesn't remove stains, but rather sets them in. Just yesterday, I decided to wash three plaid shirts, threw them in the drum, and started the wash. When the cycle finished, I discovered fresh stains of machine oil on the shirts. This is absolutely unacceptable!

Dmitry, Kostroma

It's a perfectly fine machine, and the price is reasonable. If I hadn't bought it, I'd have had to sit without it for another three months, saving up. But now I have the machine at home and it's doing a decent job. Overall, I have only good things to say about it. It's a bit noisy, but if you close the bathroom door, it's barely audible. It's a great machine!

Andrey, Moscow

It's been almost three years since we bought this washing machine. I have no complaints about its performance; it washes beautifully. However, the manufacturer clearly skimped on materials when assembling it. Three years isn't a long time, but the plastic has already darkened, the door seal is frayed, and the detergent drawer inside is rusty. If you're buying a machine for three or four years, this is the right choice, but I'd like it to last at least seven to ten years, but it clearly won't last that long.

Nikolay, St. Petersburg

My wife has been actively using the machine for six months now and is quite happy. She notes that it uses little detergent, water, and electricity, and is easy to maintain. The holes in the bottom of the door seal prevent water from collecting on the rubber, and it dries quickly. The handle on the door lid is sturdy and won't come off, and the hinges are secure. It washes well, but there are some complaints about the rinsing and spinning. Sometimes the laundry comes out damp with traces of powder.

At first the machine was shaking and making a lot of noise, but after I secured the floor underneath it, it started working very quietly.

Women's opinions

Alina, Kursk

Well, the price was simply incredible. I was instantly hooked on the Hotpoint Ariston WMSF 6013 B when I first saw it online. After reading reviews, I was even more convinced, and two weeks later, the washing machine was already in my home, plugged in, and ready to go. It's been doing laundry for a month now. I use it about 3-4 times a week.

I can't comment on reliability yet, it's been in the washing machine for too long, but it washes beautifully. I follow the instructions, laying the laundry in folded form and then smoothing it out so it doesn't bunch up. I don't weigh the laundry before washing, but I usually put in less than 6 kg. I choose a washing program that's appropriate for the items. I don't know if it's because I follow the instructions or if it's just the machine being decent, but it washes very cleanly and is gentle on the clothes.

Marina, Stavropol

A decent washing machine affordable to the average consumer. With my salary, I can only afford one like this once every five years, and even then, it's something from the budget range. Nevertheless, I managed to save money for both a washing machine and a dishwasher. It's all thanks to the Indesit and Hotpoint Ariston brands. Four years ago, I bought one.Indesit DSR 15b3 RU dishwasher and now I was able to get a Hotpoint Ariston WMSF 6013 B on credit.

Galina, Belgorod

We had to put the new washing machine in the kitchen because we renovated the bathroom and didn't have room for a washing machine. It's a bit annoying that it's right there washing while I'm cooking, but since it's quiet, I think I can live with it. I really like modern washing machines because they have everything clearly displayed on the front panel. Hotpoint Ariston has a normal powder tray; no matter how much you wash it, it’s always clean, you don’t even need to rinse it. I'm glad I chose this particular machine, five stars!

Anna, Vladimir

For now, I'm forced to live with my parents and I really want to contribute to the family, but my mom won't let me; she won't take my money, and that's it. Last year, I decided to buy a new washing machine for the house, to surprise them, so to speak. I bought a Hotpoint Ariston WMSF 6013 B. My mom scolded me, but she approved of the purchase, and she liked it right away.

Dad did the installation himself and did it in 30 minutes without much difficulty.

Well, what else can you expect from a decent washing machine? It has a large drum big enough to handle even large items, a beautiful exterior, and perfect washing results. As for the price, parents don't need to know anything about it; let's keep that a little secret.

Julia, Moscow

Terrible washing machine, I've never seen anything worse. We bought it for my sister last year as a birthday present. It would have been better if we'd given her the money. The machine broke within the first month, then they fixed it for free, then it broke again. Luckily, it's under warranty. Don't buy Ariston machines; save your nerves and your wallet!
