Rating of expensive washing machines

At first glance, it may seem that luxury washing machines are used by a select few, but in reality, this is not the case. Their high quality and innovative technology are highly sought after among certain circles. For those willing to invest in a washing machine for years to come and choosing from the best, we've compiled the following ranking of premium washing machines.

AEG Washing Tower

An interesting name, isn't it? The trick is that this washing machine consists of two sections (like a refrigerator) stacked one on top of the other, hence the name "tower." One section is for washing clothes, the other for drying them.

This technological marvel costs around $2,880 and boasts high performance and energy efficiency.

• Energy efficiency class A+++, meaning the machine consumes 50% less energy than the average washing machine.
• Spinning and washing class - A.

The control panel features a user-friendly display and multiple LED keys. The load capacity can reach up to 9 kg, while the tower's impressive dimensions—85 x 60 x 60.5 cm (width, height, and depth)—weigh 78.5 kg.

Important! The maximum spin speed can reach 1600 rpm.

In addition to the highest wash quality and energy efficiency ratings, high power output, and stylish design, the machine is equipped with a wide variety of functions, modes, and parameter settings, allowing you to perfect your washing process. The included dryer is also just as good in terms of performance. According to customer reviews, the cost of almost $3000 is completely justified.

Miele WTW870WPM

Another washer-dryer combo from Miele is the Miele washer-dryer. This luxury German-made unit costs $2,450 (from the manufacturer's website). Standard features include:

• dimensions 59.6x25x71.4 centimeters (width-height-depth);

Among the special features, it's worth noting the improved detergent dosing system. It allows for up to 30% savings on detergent powder or gel. The A+++ energy efficiency rating, combined with the innovative PowerWash system, can reduce energy consumption by up to 40%.

It is also worth paying attention to additional programs and functions:

• drum illumination;
• steam refreshment;

It's difficult to list all the features of this car; it fully lives up to its premium status. Ideal for those who appreciate stylish design, innovation, and comfort.

The washing machine's dimensions are 59.5 x 59.2 x 85 centimeters (width, depth, and height). The drum holds up to 8 kg of laundry. The machine is freestanding and front-loading.

A highly advanced freestanding front-loading washing machine from German manufacturer Siemens. Priced at just under $1,000.

Important! The washing machine's large dimensions (60 x 59 x 85 centimeters) and weight of 83 kilograms are entirely justified, and the drum can hold up to 10 kilograms of laundry.

Let's look at the characteristics of this machine.

• Electronic control, supported by a text or symbol display located on the control panel.

• Machine control function via smartphone.

During the spin cycle, the drum can reach speeds of up to 1600 rpm, with the option to choose spin speed and the ability to cancel it. There's no option to add laundry during the wash cycle. The manufacturer guarantees the unit's service life for 10 years. For such a long-term, high-quality investment, the price is well justified.
