Reviews of Raduga washing machines

The Raduga brand's simple semi-automatic washing machine appeals to consumers of all income levels. Some buy it for their homes, while others buy it for their summer cottages, thanks to its relatively low price. This machine has been in production for quite some time, and during this time, it has attracted a whole army of satisfied and dissatisfied users who write a variety of reviews on forums and sales websites. Let's take a look at some of these reviews.

Cat, St. Petersburg

The Raduga is a relic of the Soviet era. The controls are mechanical, the parts are crude, and the appearance is anything but presentable. However, this machine washes very well, and it doesn't require running water. This machine is the most suitable choice for a summer house. I heated water with a bucket and a kettle, poured it over the edge directly into the drum, and it's ready to wash.

If necessary, the machine can be connected to the water supply.

For the money I'm happy with the car, but there are some niggles that irritate me. Firstly, the hoses are not securely attached to it; if they are not clamped, they start to leak.Secondly, the handles and other protruding plastic parts break off, which are, by the way, necessary. The only thing left to blame is the Chinese manufacturer, who skimped on the plastic. In my opinion, the Raduga fully deserves a 4.

My grandmother saw this washing machine at a neighbor's, and she was so excited to get one for herself. I scoured several appliance stores and found a Raduga washing machine almost identical to my neighbor's. I have absolutely no idea what she saw in it; it's just a plastic bucket with a hose. I think it's easier to wash clothes in a regular bucket.

Grandma was happy for about three months, then the washing machine broke down and problems with service began. The repairmen kept shirking their obligations, but we finally forced them to do the job. After the repair, the machine worked for another four days, then the motor burned out. We somehow returned the Raduga to the seller, and now Grandma is getting used to it. washing machine LG, We hope this automatic washing machine will last longer than its primitive predecessor.

Rainbow SM 2 White

Alexander, Vladimir

I used this machine about three years ago when I was single. It's a decent machine, washes well. There's no spin, but it holds a lot of laundry, and the machine is small. I personally hid it in a small cabinet in the corner of the room, taking it out when needed. My only complaint is the very flimsy wash tank. I accidentally dropped the machine on its side, and it immediately cracked and started leaking. If they'd made the walls thicker and more durable, it would be priceless.

The Raduga is a good choice for those who prefer simple laundry. It's very inexpensive, does a decent job of washing clothes, and has a very basic design. No electronic controls or other bells and whistles, just as simple as an orange. My mom really appreciates this machine, even though she has a fully automatic machine. She claims the Raduga is better at washing larger items, though I can't confirm or deny her opinion. The fact is, she's been using this machine for three years now, and it's worked flawlessly without a hitch. She's very happy with it.

Princess SM 1

Alexey, Kaluga

The Princess washing machine from the Raduga series caught my eye with its price and sheer simplicity. I initially considered the Raduga machines, but the Princess turned out to be much more compact, lighter, and almost $16 cheaper, so I settled on it. Now, to wash my clothes, I place it on the seat directly in the bathtub, fill it with hot water, and off I go, ready to wash my pile of dirty laundry. Here's how I wash:

• First, I pour some hot water into the machine's tank;
• I put in regular hand washing powder;

You can use washing powder for automatic machines, it will also work, because the Princess is “omnivorous”.

• I put away pre-sorted things;
• I shake this thing with my hands and then leave it for 10 minutes;
• then I add boiling water, add a little more powder and start the wash;
• I take out the laundry, drain the soapy water and add clean cold water for rinsing;
• I start the rinse cycle and then take the items out and wring them out.

The lack of a centrifuge doesn't bother me. The car is excellent for its budget, so I give it the highest rating.

Alina, Irkutsk

Last year, I entered college and moved into a dorm. I live with two other girls from the countryside, enjoying the fruits of student life. We didn't have a washing machine, and without one, life is really bad. At first, we were considering buying a used automatic machine, but in the end, we got a Princess SM1. The lack of a spin cycle is annoying, but it takes up very little space, which is crucial for us. We take turns doing laundry, even if the hot water is turned off, and it hasn't let us down once in six months. Huge respect to the manufacturer.

In conclusion, people's opinions of the Raduga and Princess washing machines (from the same series) are generally positive. In any case, they are 100% worth their $60 (their average price), and that's all you can expect from such a simple appliance. Happy shopping!
