Let's compare the characteristics of similar machines from two brands.

When choosing a new washing machine, you need to pay attention to a combination of factors, and not just the manufacturer. The washing machine models you like should be compared based on a number of key criteria: price, energy efficiency, load capacity, maintainability, functionalityIt's also worth reading real user reviews. This will make it easier to decide which washing machine is best.

Let's compare the Hotpoint NUS 5015 S RU and Atlant 50U107-000 washing machines to determine which brand wins. Both machines have identical load capacities – up to 5 kg of dry laundry. In terms of price, the Ariston is significantly more expensive – $230 versus $180 for the Atlant.

Let's go over the main characteristics. Both models have a commutator motor. The Atlant is 59 dB during washing, the Ariston 60 dB, and 73 and 79 dB during spinning, respectively. It can be concluded that the Belarusian washing machine will be quieter than the Italian one.

Water consumption for both brands is roughly the same: 45 liters per wash for Atlant and 47 for Ariston. The Belarusian washing machine has a higher energy efficiency rating of "A+," compared to its competitor's "A." The machine's dimensions are similar: 60 cm and 85 cm wide and high, and 42 cm and 40 cm deep, including protruding parts.

The software is also similar. The Atlant 50U107-000 has 15 washing modes, while the Hotpoint NUS 5015 S RU has 16. Both have imbalance prevention and a child lock. However, only the Atlant has surge protection.

The Atlant and Ariston washing machines come with standard accessories: documentation, connection hoses, and transport bolts.

Comparing these two models, Atlant wins. The significant price difference speaks for itself—almost 30%. At the same time, in terms of functionality and efficiency, the Belarusian machine is in no way inferior to the Hotpoint, and often even surpasses the Italian brand's washing machine.

Compared to the 7 kg capacity models described above, the Hotpoint NSB 7239 ZK VE RU and the Atlant 70C1010-00, the Ariston is still more expensive, $300 versus $220. However, the real selling point is the inverter motor and steam option.

Thanks to its inverter, the Hotpoint NSB 7239 ZK VE RU is significantly quieter than the Atlant 70C1010-00. Otherwise, the models are very similar, both in software and energy efficiency. They consume the same amount of water per cycle: 52 liters.

The Atlant washing machine has Aqua-Protect leak protection and protection against power surges. The Ariston doesn't. The Hotpoint can spin at 1200 rpm, while the Belarusian washing machine can only spin at a maximum of 1000 rpm.

In this case, the Hotpoint NSB 7239 ZK VE RU's advantages lie solely in its inverter motor and more intensive spin cycle. Buyers must decide for themselves whether they're willing to pay an extra $80 for a modern motor. Wins by all other criteria Atlant 70C1010-00.

When it comes to repairability, it's difficult to single out a single brand. Components are easy to find for both Atlant and Ariston machines. The cost of spare parts is also roughly the same. The Belarusian manufacturer offers a three-year warranty on its equipment, while the Italian brand offers a 12-month warranty.
