Reviews of Atlant washing machines
Washing machine Atlant SMA 45U102
Valery:
My Atlant washing machine has been working flawlessly for about three years now. It's important to set the right cycle for your laundry and not add too much detergent. And everything will be fine. The machine isn't expensive, but it's definitely worth the money. The wash quality is satisfactory. It has plenty of features. The design is also quite decent.

We bought a washing machine in the spring of 2009, before our daughter was born. We wash every other day. It works well. No problems or malfunctions.
Pros: Quite inexpensive. Normal set of functions.
Cons:It's noisy sometimes. It shakes quite violently during the spin cycle. Water often gets into the seal between the door and the drum and remains there even after the wash cycle is complete.

We didn't want to spend a lot on a new washing machine, so we primarily considered budget models. After shopping around, we decided on the Atlant washing machine. It's assembled in Belarus using German parts. When we bought it, we were given a 5-year warranty. We haven't had to use it. The machine washes well and hasn't broken down once yet. The number of programs is quite satisfactory, and there are also additional options. We wash everything in it: a down jacket with synthetic padding, sneakers, and regular laundry. It handles everything well. It's well-built. Nothing falls off. The cabinet color has remained the same despite years and two moves.
On the plus side: A large number of functions and options, reasonable cost, reliability.
Cons: None of these have been discovered yet.

We were given an extended warranty when we bought it. It was supposed to be for two years. But they gave us an additional three years of service. And then, just after the five years were up, it started acting up. What broke?
Let me list them:
- The knob that sets the program. It turns easily, and the selection is easy to set, but then to change it, you have to pry it off yourself.
- We add washing powder. We add exactly the amount indicated in the instructions. However, it doesn't even rinse out completely. A good third remains in the tray after washing.
- There are regular display issues. Sometimes it doesn't display all the characters, sometimes it's completely blank. And this glitch has been around for a long time.
- Before that, I had a Vyatka. The Vyatka is a very noisy machine. Admittedly, the Atlant is quieter. But it's still quite loud. This is especially noticeable when spinning.
- The instructions are poor. The errors they describe are very vague. I just got one of them. I'm reading it. It says it could be the network, the pump, or even half the machine. How do I fix it?
- And many more small problems.
It's practically unsuitable for DIY repairs. It barely lasted five years, but even in this price range, there are much better machines available.

My husband gave me a washing machine for our anniversary. Previously, we had a Samsung machine. He chose it himself. He said the main factor was the long warranty. I liked it because it can wash a lot of laundry, it's not particularly noisy, and it has a great range of features. We have three children, so the machine works perfectly. I was pleased with the Atlant because it has almost everything I need in a washing machine. I was pleasantly surprised by the night wash program. The appearance is simple, but it fits perfectly in our kitchen. And it doesn't even look particularly big. And it can wash up to five kg at a time. We've been using it for about a year, and so far, so good.
Pros: Good functionality – a program for shoes, overnight washing, and more. But the capacity is 5 kg.
Cons:
There are no disadvantages.

Atlant might be a good brand, but the one I bought is a disaster! It doesn't wash very well. I'd say it's a solid C. It breaks down every year. Even more often. In just a couple of years of use, they've had it repaired under warranty three times. First, the sunroof wouldn't open, then they replaced the control module (a very expensive part, by the way, so thankfully it was free under warranty), and then the drain pump died. I struggled with it, but finally managed to come to an agreement with the appliance store where I bought it. And with an extra charge, I bought myself another machine. This time, not an Atlant, but an LG. And now I'm happy. I feel just like I did all those years ago, when I switched from an old Zhiguli to a foreign car!!!
Pros: long warranty service (3 years).
Cons: It makes noise, creaks, washes poorly, and breaks often.

Good afternoon! I decided to write a review of my washing machine. I've owned an Atlant since the end of 2011. It still works fine. It's important to install it correctly. Use a spirit level and follow all the instructions. We also bought special stands for its feet right away. I was pleased that it even displays any faults on the display. I once had a clogged drain filter. This filter needs to be cleaned every six months. But we hadn't cleaned it for two years. That's why it got clogged with dirt. The display showed error code F4. I found the instructions, our error code, and learned that the filter was the problem. The filter was easy to remove. I cleaned it and that was it. The problem was solved. The machine works like new again. The Atlant is a good machine – solid. Before this one, I had a more expensive Ardo washing machine. But in terms of wash quality and other parameters, it's no better than the Atlant. So, judge for yourself!

This is my first automatic washing machine!!! I'd never used one before. It was a birthday gift. I was apprehensive at first. Friends complained that many of these machines don't wash well or, on the contrary, wash clothes so well that the colors fade. That's why I never used them before. Well, since it was a gift, I had to give it a try! I tried it... the washing quality was quite satisfactory. The only thing is that it's so noisy during the spin cycle that I even have to open the window. And don't wash it early in the morning or at night, otherwise you'll disturb the neighbors. And besides, it has its drawbacks: it breaks down often. Once a year, I have to call the service center and have a mechanic come in for repairs. It's good that the warranty is long.
Pros: Washes quite well even with inexpensive powder.
Cons:It makes a lot of noise when spinning laundry. And it breaks often.

We bought this model based on a friend's recommendation. We went with a cheap machine. We wanted to save money. They did, and they certainly did! The installers installed it and measured something with a level. The machine just shook while spinning. Some balancing system had failed. The repairman said that from now on, we'd have to distribute the laundry ourselves and spread it out evenly across the drum. We've called a repairman three times in two years. They replaced some module, something else... and the vibration still hasn't been fixed. The last time we took it in for service, it was returned with scratches all over the side panel. And when we returned it, there was a sheet of delivery information taped to it. When we tore it off, we noticed a hole underneath. This machine is simply awful!!! The service center that services it is even worse! Don't even bother with this scam!!!!
Pros: low cost, acceptable functionality.
Cons: Poor service, frequent breakdowns, glitchy controls, the car shakes during spinning.

What caught my attention about this machine was the interesting balance between price and warranty. I bought it for nine rubles, and it came with a five-year warranty. So, that's less than 2,000 rubles per year! As for quality, I think the same brands that go under big foreign names are assembled right here in the CIS. The Atlant is also assembled in the CIS, but the parts are from Germany. That should be fine, too. I have a relative who works in Atlanta. He bought my washing machine himself. He made sure all the parts were genuine, because they say some savvy guys like to replace German hoses and other parts with Chinese ones. He's an expert in that sort of thing. You can't fool him. The machine isn't particularly noisy during the wash cycle. But it is a bit noisy during the spin cycle.
Starting the wash cycle is very easy. The display shows all the necessary prompts, so it's understandable for both schoolchildren and pensioners. A wide variety of programs are available, suitable for all common fabrics. The spin cycle is good. However, if you set it to 1200 rpm, the spin cycle can be too strong. Use only specialized detergent, not hand-washing powders. Machine-wash only. And preferably not cheap ones, as cheap detergents won't handle every stain.
Pros: Simple controls, prompts on the display, and the ability to set different temperatures and wash durations. A long warranty, and compared to similar inexpensive models, the washing quality is quite good.
Cons: All buttons and other controls should be handled with extreme care. According to people, they often fail. Otherwise, everything is fine.

It's a perfectly decent machine for its price. You can trust me on that. I've had two Boschs before. They're much more expensive. Yes, they're quieter and prettier. But with some Russian ingenuity, the noise problem can be solved! Attention! I'll let you in on a secret! To keep the Atlant from making too much noise, you need to close the bathroom door tightly. And if our friendly Belarusians figure out how to make their machines quieter, they'll be priceless (within reason).
Overall, it's a decent budget machine with a good warranty.

The machine arrived from the store with a defective door sensor. The wash wouldn't start until I opened and closed the door again. It was fixed under warranty.
After a year of use, the motor stopped spinning at normal speeds. I wanted to call a repairman under warranty, but I lost the warranty card.
The Atlant machine lasted 12 years, and we repaired it ourselves, fortunately my husband is a handyman. Unfortunately, the machine wouldn't start. Otherwise, everything was fine; we live in our own house and haven't heard any noise.
My Atlant 50s84-000 shows the message “End of program” and the lock hangs.
I bought an Atlant 50S 102 in 2006 and installed it in 2008. When choosing, the main thing I considered was the low water pressure required. My tank is in the attic, and the water flows by gravity. But that's more than enough. It worked perfectly! The machine is very convenient and multifunctional. We used it to the fullest. My son brought his own clothes, and my daughter also brought them to us for washing. After five years of use, the bearing on the drum shaft started making noise. There's nothing I can do about it myself! Another problem is the heating element. You could say it's disposable, since it's held in place by the rubber seal. So, I had to replace the heating element too. Okay, we replaced everything and installed it. It worked fine. But not under the same load, since the children left for Russia due to the war. And so, in 2017, the bearing problems started again. And then there was the problem with the hatch door lock. I had to resort to tricks.
I bought an Atlant 70U1010 washing machine and was disappointed. After two weeks of operation, it malfunctioned. Nothing would turn on, and I tried to spin it again after washing, but it didn't work. I unplugged everything, and after half a day, it finally started working again. The door sags. I have to lift it a little to close it. The knob that selects the programs rubs, too. It's also noisy.
I've had my 1040T washing machine for 17 years now. I've only replaced the base. It works great. I wash at least three times a week.
My kids gave me an Atlant 50U102 washer in 2007. It stopped heating water after 14 years. I'm hoping we'll find the cause. I love my washer and am grateful for its long service life!
My beloved Atlant 1040t worked for 17 years without a single repair. We raised three children and did laundry every day. The first breakdown occurred in the 18th year of use. The door wouldn't open after a wash. I'm wondering what's best: repair it or buy a new one? But I'm only talking about the Atlant. Huge thanks to the manufacturer. It washed perfectly.
