Indesit BWSA 61051 Washing Machine Reviews

When choosing a washing machine, we pay attention not only to its technical specifications and appearance but also to customer reviews. This is understandable, as it's important to know how well the machine performs in real life; many things can't be determined in the store. So, we found out what people thought of the Indesit BWSA 61051 washing machine.

Machine specifications

This budget-friendly Indesit washing machine boasts relatively decent specifications. This BWSA 61051 model is freestanding and measures 85 cm tall. The description doesn't specify whether the top lid is removable, so you'll have to inspect the machine in-store to determine whether it can be used under a countertop. The drum holds up to 6 kg of dry laundry.

Water and energy consumption are low, at 49 liters and 0.17 kWh. The machine can spin at a maximum of 1000 rpm, and the spin speed can be adjusted manually. There are 16 wash programs, including:

• delicate;
• preventing creasing;
• sport;
• washing down products;
• stain removal;
• extra rinse;
• fast.

In terms of safety, it features partial leak protection, child-proof button control and foam control.

Among the additional features, the manufacturer has included an odor removal function and a 9-hour delayed start. As for noise, it's quite loud, reaching 83 dB during the spin cycle.

User opinions

A good Indesit BWSA 61051 washing machine, which has only broken down once in five years of use. The problem was a burnt-out heater. The repair cost only $12. The machine washes well and has many modes for this. In short, it's a great option; the underwear stays intact and doesn't rip. And it looks nice, too, making it a great buy.

P.S. When I bought it, it was only $150. It's probably more expensive now. Overall, I recommend getting this one; it won't let you down, it's reliable.

Good evening everyone! Three weeks ago, my wife and I bought a new washing machine because our old one was broken. I immediately decided to leave my opinion on it; maybe I'll write more about it later, but for now, that's it. We only had $190 at the time of purchase and didn't want to take out a loan. After shopping around, we decided an Indesit was the best choice. Besides, our old one was the same brand.

I immediately fell in love with the machine's appearance—it's beautiful, seemingly durable, and compact. This model has all the necessary features, and I can honestly say it's the best in this price range. It's suitable even for a large family, as the drum holds a decent amount of laundry. It doesn't bounce around during operation and stands firmly. I also like the additional features, such as:

• easy ironing;
• stain removal;
• street;
• food.

And if you have small children, feel free to turn on the child lock; none of the buttons will work. Anyway, don't judge too harshly, take care, and see you next time!

We bought this washing machine and installed it ourselves according to the instructions; we didn't have to call a technician. Its wide range of programs and quick start-up are its advantages. If the power goes out unexpectedly, the washing machine remembers the program and continues washing after turning it back on. Adding a small load reduces the washing time thanks to the automatic weighing feature. A quick wash lasts 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to freshen up a T-shirt after a run.

We've been using this machine for two years now, even though we have a small child. We use it frequently and haven't found any issues. The only thing we'd like is a display with the wash time. Overall, we recommend it.

Maryashejn, Chelyabinsk

I'll tell you a little about this washing machine, as we only bought it a week ago, but we've already got some impressions from doing a lot of laundry. Despite the negative reviews online, we still bought it, and I hope everything turns out well. I think it's the perfect fit in terms of size, features, and price. It fits snugly in our bathroom. The drum capacity was big enough to wash even a fluffy blanket.

There are a lot of features, but I think I'll only use a few most often. However, if I do need them, there's easy ironing, quick start, and other additional functions. The machine is noisy, like many others, mainly during the drain and spin cycle, but it's not a big deal. The spin cycle is excellent, and clothes come out almost dry.

The only downside is the rubber smell, but maybe it'll go away with time. So far, I've had no complaints. I'm happy with this wash, and hopefully, I won't jinx it.

The main criteria for choosing a washing machine were:

• loading, not less than 6 kg;
• small dimensions, or more precisely width, since there is little space in the bathroom;
• reasonable price.

This Indesit model met all my requirements. It's not the quietest, but it's not annoying. The main thing is to empty everything from the top lid. I'd like to mention the large door and drum, so laundry is easy to remove. It's easy to use, with adjustable temperature and spin speed. It's a shame there's no drying option, otherwise it would be priceless.

I bought this washing machine as a wedding anniversary gift for my wife, especially since her old one was already in disrepair. She's thrilled with her new "helper." It has a variety of programs, all of which are short. It's quiet, like a mosquito in the morning. I highly recommend it.

I didn't want to overpay for the brand name, and chose the latter over Bosch or Indesit. I'll just point out a few details; you can find the specifications yourself. In short, be careful when removing the shipping bolts to prevent the plastic bushings from falling into the machine body. There is a drawback, the power cord is too short, and the inlet hose is also not long - only 1.3 m. I had to extend the hose and connect it via an extension cord. There's no beep when the wash cycle ends. Water remains in the door seals, which is also a drawback. Otherwise, it's a convenient machine.

For the price, this is a very good washing machine with a modern set of features. You can't find a similar machine from another brand for the same price. The functions and modes are very convenient, especially the odor removal system and stain removal mode, which are useful with a small child. The wash quality is excellent; I wash sneakers, down jackets, and blankets. Everything is in excellent condition, and I highly recommend this model.

I love this machine, which my husband and I bought just five months ago. It's a good option. It has everything you need, and it has a child safety lock, so the wash cycle won't get lost. It holds a lot of clothes, as the drum holds 6 kg. It looks stylish and not bulky. It washes flawlessly and cleanly. The only problem is, of course, there's no drying function. And for that price, what kind of drying function would you expect?

When I first turned on the machine, the drain didn't start at the end of the program. It turned out the problem was an airlock in the filter. I unscrewed the cover, and everything started working normally. I haven't found any issues yet.
