Indesit BWSA 51051 S Washing Machine Reviews

Indesit washing machines are among the most affordable, which is precisely why they attract customers. They are assembled in Russia, which some are skeptical about. It's best to ask people about how such machines perform in real life. For example, let's look at reviews of the Indesit BWSA 51051 1 washing machine.

Machine specifications

The narrow Indesit BWSA 51051 S washing machine has a depth of only 43 cm, which means it can be installed in a small bathroomThe unit has a 5 kg load capacity, which is quite sufficient for a small family. The machine does not have a display, but it does have a large number of indicators that will tell the user which program or function is currently active. The selection of washing programs is quite extensive. We believe any user will be able to find two or three favorites and use them regularly.

Judging by the specifications, the machine is quite noisy. With the drum spinning at 1000 rpm, it produces a whopping 83 dB.

The spin cycle isn't entirely clear either, as the manufacturer honestly states that the residual moisture content of laundry is 62%. Just so you know, at 75%, laundry is already so wet that it can be wrung out by hand. So 62% is almost unsatisfactory spin cycle performance. What else does the washing machine have?

1. Delayed start up to 9 hours.
2. Anti-crease mode.
3. Foam control that stops the drum rotation if the foam cap builds up excessively.
4. Forced drainage of water.
5. Child-resistant and leak-proof.

There's nothing else special about it, as it's a budget model after all. It's also worth noting that the machine's design, while simple, is quite attractive, and it complements almost any interior design.

User opinions

It's been three weeks since I started using this machine, and overall, it's been fine. Actually, I wasn't expecting anything special from it. I just don't understand some people. They buy a $220 washing machine and start complaining about it not having a display or how ungainly it looks. Well, what did you expect? It's the most affordable model, it washes automatically, so thank you for that.

I'm quite happy with my Indesit BWSA 51051 S, although I do see some shortcomings—I'm not blind, after all. Firstly, the machine rattles a lot when you set the spin cycle to 1000 rpm. Sometimes it even jumps, so I never set the drum speed to maximum. The machine takes a long time to rinse clothes, although if you're not standing nearby and not fussing, you won't notice. Overall, the washing machine doesn't do anything that wouldn't be excusable, so I give it four stars out of five. For a $220 washing machine, it's not bad at all.

I've had the washing machine for two months now, and it hasn't broken down yet. I have no complaints. It holds a lot of laundry, has a beautiful panel, and is quiet. It washes perfectly, and I'm happy with how it works. The machine sits on special silicone feet, which may be why it's quieter. It also has a convenient "quick" wash cycle, which lasts about 45 minutes.

Novel

I've been using my Indesit washing machine for four weeks now. Before this model, I had an Indesit, but it was Italian-made. This meant it worked flawlessly for 15 years, after which I sent it to my dacha in good condition. I doubt I'll be so lucky with the new machine. While I'm happy with it, it has a wide range of programs and features, and it's compact. The special feature is that the drum is made of plastic, which is much quieter than my old one, which had a stainless steel drum. After a month, I haven't noticed any issues and have no complaints.

I read a lot of comments about this machine and decided to buy it too. I don't regret it at all; I'm happy with the purchase, although I haven't had a chance to try everything yet. It washes beautifully, but the rinse cycle takes a bit too long, but that's okay; it rinses out better. In short, it's an affordable and simple machine that's easy to install yourself; I didn't even have to use the instructions. A+ stars for all the positives.

I got used to my Samsung washing machine, but I had to part with it. It'll be hard to get used to the fact that the Indesit doesn't have a display or a sound signal for when the wash cycle is finished. Why did I choose this particular brand? Because over 10 years of wholesale sales in a large company, I realized that this company has the lowest percentage of defective goods. This was confirmed by service center technicians, given the high sales volume of this brand. It's worth noting that the water in our area isn't the best.

I bought this washing machine about three months ago. I've already moved it from one place to another. I think I was incredibly lucky to get such a machine at this price. The most important thing is that it washes great and spins perfectly. However, there is a drawback: a little powder remains in the tray. I would have liked a dryer, of course, but this is a budget machine. Basically, everything dries in 6 hours, and laundry takes about 3 hours. I think even a child could handle it. And the "stain removal" feature is the coolest.

Prohor

The fact that the machine was inexpensive, and even Russian-made, was honestly a bit of a bummer. I was worried it would have defects and malfunctions. Contrary to expectations, it turned out to be the opposite. It washes beautifully, doesn't rip clothes, and everything comes out looking brand new. It's great for washing down jackets. I tried it on an old down jacket first, so I wouldn't have to throw it away. But the results were so bad that I decided to give it a rest and wear it a little longer. Now I'll be washing my outerwear at home, ditching the dry cleaners. After just a few washes, the machine will pay for itself, just on down jackets.

We're starting a new family and we're expecting a baby very soon. As a caring mother, I decided to carefully select a washing machine and take advantage of the store's special offer. I was buying several large appliances at once, choosing Indesit because it's relatively inexpensive, high-quality, and stylish. What I liked about this particular machine was the quick wash program and the “sport” program, which is very important for us.

The "Odorless" program attracted particular attention.

We tried washing a down jacket in the washing machine. It washed perfectly, and now we'll save on dry cleaning because the down jacket didn't deteriorate at all and dried very quickly. We often use the delayed start feature. And yes, it's quite quiet and doesn't bounce during the spin cycle. The machine is in the bathroom, so it's become a beautiful addition to the room. Of course, if you have the money, a Bosch would be great. But for young families on a budget, the Indesit BWSA 51051 washing machine is a godsend that will always come in handy. I recommend it.
