After that, the conclusions will be clear.

Men's opinions

Dmitry, Samara

I've been meaning to buy a decent automatic washing machine for a long time, but I've had no luck. Then I stumbled upon the Whirlpool AWS 71212, a modern machine with a large drum and European assembly. It's incredibly reliable and has been washing my clothes for a year now without a single problem. Like all machines, it vibrates and rattles during the spin cycle, so I can immediately dispel the myth that Whirlpool machines are quiet. This minor drawback is outweighed by a host of advantages.

• Slovakian assembly is a model of quality, I am convinced of this. All parts are fitted perfectly, nothing is loose anywhere and works at the highest level.
• The panel features a display, a convenient program selection knob, and essential buttons. It all looks seamless and stylish.
• The drum interior is free of burrs and roughness, so there's no need to worry about damaging your laundry. Furthermore, this drum can accommodate several large items or many small ones, weighing up to 7 kg.
• The spin speed can be adjusted manually, the maximum is 1200.
• The machine has several useful features, such as a 6th sense or automatic water level adjustment.

Judging by its functions and range of washing programs, this machine belongs to an expensive series, but in fact, it costs very little.

I completely trust my clothes, my wife's clothes, and my child's clothes to my washing machine. We've forgotten about hand washing; we even throw wool in the machine—the Whirlpool never lets us down.

A very good washing machine, inexpensive and functional. Its European assembly is clearly different from the Russian one, so it's worth paying a little extra for that. It washes clothes perfectly, a dream.

Alexander, Moscow

A very economical machine with intelligent settings. It draws in just the right amount of water for a given load. The washing machine hasn't had any glitches or errors, and it'll adjust accordingly if I mess up the program selection.

Georgy, Moscow

I didn't take long to decide, went to the store, and picked up the first thing they recommended—the Whirlpool AWS 71212. I installed it myself after reading the instructions in the post. Installing a washing machine on a wooden floorEverything was quick and easy, more than I expected. I now wash with great pleasure because the technology is superb!

Ilya, Tolyatti

I used to have a Whirlpool, so we bought a Whirlpool as a replacement. We've been washing for three months now, and so far there haven't been any problems. I think a new machine almost always works well, so we'll see. It's easy to use, and I haven't had any problems selecting or identifying programs. The controls are electronic and have a small display, which is unusual after the old machine. My wife loves the large, wide drum with a whopping 7 kg load capacity, so she gives me a special shout!

Andrey, St. Petersburg

The washing machine sits securely even on a crooked floor. I leveled the frame as best I could, but it still wasn't perfect, and whatever, as long as it works. The top lid is removable, so I easily slid the machine under the countertop. It washes perfectly, doesn't use much detergent, and saves energy and water.

During washing, all the powder dissolves, leaving nothing left in the tray.

Alexander, Nizhny Novgorod

Before buying, I read people's opinions on the Whirlpool AWS 71212. They were all positive, and that made me wary. I went to the store, looked at the machine from every angle, and annoyed the salesperson, but still bought it.

I'm not particularly happy with my purchase. Firstly, the machine is very noisy; in addition to the usual sounds, you can hear a banging sound inside, which indicates a hidden defect. Secondly, it doesn't wash very well; I've already tried three different types of detergent, with uniformly unsatisfactory results. Otherwise, everything seems to be as the manufacturer claims, and I'll continue to explore the new machine.

Women's opinions

Marina, Omsk

I was choosing from dozens of washing machine models from different brands, and they were all just not right. The prices were too high, the features were too poor, and I couldn't find anything good until the salesperson recommended the Whirlpool AWS 71212. I was a bit hesitant, but after considering its strengths and weaknesses, I decided to buy it. I've been using it for six months now and I don't regret the money I spent. I highly recommend it!

Svetlana, Izhevsk

What a hyped-up piece of crap! I could stop there, but then the moderator would delete my review. My main complaint is about the washing machine, or rather, the lack thereof. The machine rinses terribly; it feels like the laundry is being fluttered around in a mess of powder, since it only takes a minimum amount of water into the tank. When I take my clothes out (especially black ones), there are clear traces of powder on them. I tried washing with gel, but it also doesn't rinse out well. I don't recommend buying it!

Ekaterina, Khimki

I've loved this machine since the day I bought it, and I still do. I've been washing clothes four times a week for a year and a half now, and I'm always incredibly satisfied with the results. I've owned Beko, Samsung, and Indesit machines, but none of them compare to the Whirlpool AWS 71212. Its best programs are hand wash and delicates. They take a long time, but the results are 100%.

Tamara, Khabarovsk

I'm completely satisfied with this washing machine, and I simply don't understand the haters who want to trash this model. It's fantastic. Go to the store, pull out the detergent drawer, open the door, spin the drum with your hands, and you'll understand everything without words—this machine is made for people!
