Bauknecht Washing Machine Reviews
Bauknecht washing machines are quite well-known in Europe but little known in Russia, so our customers are genuinely interested in these appliances. The brand's history dates back to the early twentieth century in Germany. Today, Whirlpool owns 53% of the factories' shares, meaning the brand is recognized worldwide. Let's take a look at the reviews to find out what users of this brand have to say about their washing machines.
WCMC 64523

To be honest, it's immediately obvious that this machine is German and well-made. It washes and spins very well. However, there is a drawback: slight vibration at medium speeds. The technician said it wasn't a defect. In fact, it is, since the vibration doesn't cause the washer to bounce or move.
I was washing my gym clothes and decided to set the spin cycle to 1200 rpm. The jar of water sitting on the machine didn't move, so everything's fine. Some people in the reviews say it's very quiet, but I can't say that. The machine makes a decent hum during draining and spinning, the noise is within normal limits, if compared to Ariston, it is not quieter.

An excellent machine from the German brand Bauknecht, it washes perfectly. And, crucially, it comes with a 3-year warranty! I couldn't find any flaws. I recommend it to everyone. If you're going to pay for a brand, it's this one.

If I remember correctly, I bought a washing machine from this company, model WCMC 64523, in 1997. It's still working, and I haven't had any repairs done. Believe it or not. The only thing that's wrong with it is that the housing has rusted on one side, and that's because it's in the bathroom. It's not pretty anymore, but it works. If I get the chance, I'll replace it with a new one from the same brand. The price may be high, but the quality is superb.

This brand's washing machine is good, so I decided to write a review. It's only been four months since I bought it, but I like everything about it. It's quiet. I'm comparing it to machine brand LGA friend has one. I wanted one too, but I ended up choosing the German one and it was a good choice. The LG one sometimes starts jumping around due to vibration, but my machine doesn't do that, although it depends on how it's installed.
Another thing I love about my home assistant is the full three-year warranty. That's extremely rare. The only downside is the high price, but if your budget allows, you won't regret it. The delicate cycle is simply superb!
WAT 820

Since it's my day off, I decided to write a review of my favorite German washing machine. It's a top-loading machine in the mid-price range. Why this particular one? Because after renovating my bathroom, I wanted a new one, but only had enough space for a top-loading one. We were looking for a machine from Germany, and the salesperson recommended this one. It has a three-year warranty, and the motor is guaranteed for a whopping 10 years. Overall, I had no doubts about the purchase.
What also attracted me was the excellent white design and bright LED display. After almost two years of use, I note the following advantages:
- convenient loading and smooth opening of the drum and the machine door;
- many different programs for washing different types of fabric;
- automatic selection of program parameters that can be changed manually;
- the presence of additional rinse functions, child lock, delayed start;
- The water and energy savings claimed by the manufacturer work;
- washes and spins perfectly.
There is one downside: there is no separate spin function.
The machine also features a new technology called Zen. The essence of this technology is its gentle treatment of clothes. Thanks to the new asynchronous motor, the machine is practically silent. In short, it provides ideal care for your clothes with minimal effort. However, I have my own opinion on this matter: the machine is noisy at high speeds, and compared to other machines, it's no louder or quieter than some competitors.
If you take a closer look, the pros far outweigh the cons. Therefore, I recommend this car to everyone. I'll write about its durability and reliability in 10 years, see how lucky I am!
WCMC 71400
viola1987, St. Petersburg
My husband is very careful when choosing appliances. When buying a washing machine, he read numerous reviews of each model he liked. He examined each model in the store, opening the drum door and asking questions, searching for the best one. He wanted a compact washing machine from a European manufacturer that was quiet. Based on these requirements, the sales consultant recommended the Slovenian-made WCMC 71400. It didn't take him long to decide, and we bought it.
After three months of use, we're thrilled and happy with our purchase. The 1400 RPM spin cycle is quiet. You can set the soil level of your laundry, allowing the machine to automatically determine how much water it needs for each wash.
With this machine we started saving about $3 a month on electricity. It's true that we have different rates for night and day electricity, so we do our laundry after 11 PM. In short, the machine is great!
WAK 7751
Anna-K, Lviv
I've been using this brand of washing machine for over two years now. It has never broken down and has lived up to all my expectations, leaving me with nothing but positive impressions.
- Firstly, the car was assembled in Germany, and that costs a lot.
- Secondly, with a load capacity of 6 kg, the machine is very compact and fits into a small bathroom.
- Thirdly, it works quietly and without any strain; even with a strong spin, there is little vibration.
The simple controls and intuitive menu are also worth mentioning. This machine isn't picky about powders, and you can use gels too. It washes clothes very well; it's simply irreplaceable. The metal-plastic body is easy to wipe clean, making maintenance effortless. Overall, I recommend Baukneht to everyone.
WAK 7375
Nelya Butaeva
I've been using a WAK 7375 washing machine, assembled in Germany, since 2001. This model has a 5 kg load capacity and a 1000 rpm spin cycle. It has a decent number of programs. I really like this machine; the quality is evident. In all these years of use, I've never had to call a repairman, which says something. I hope it continues to provide me with joy for a long time to come.
To summarize, reviews of washing machines from this German brand are positive. We haven't encountered any negative user reviews. This may be because these machines aren't widely available on the Russian market, or perhaps they're too expensive for the mass market. It's hard to say for sure. Overall, happy shopping!

I was advised to buy it at Media Markt, and they only sell it there (the Bauknecht washing machine). Honestly, I think I overpaid for it. I could have gotten a different one for less. And it would have worked just as well, as someone else has already written. It's very noisy. I expected it to be better and quieter.
I bought a Bauknecht Super Eco 6412 washing machine. It has a wide range of programs. It washes beautifully and quietly. However, I think a major drawback is that the spin speed is only 1400, 1000, and 400 RPM. It's impossible to spin at 1400 or 1000 RPM because of the "jet roar," and the 400 RPM is very weak. I had to part with it. I really liked it.
I don't like it at all. It washes poorly and the spin cycle is so noisy.
I also bought it from Media Markt; they promised quality. But in two years, I've already had it repaired twice! Either the heater broke, or something went wrong with the drum. It's extremely noisy! I'm extremely dissatisfied with this company.
Where can I find the operating instructions? I can't figure out how to use the programs.
