Sharp Washing Machine Reviews

Little-known Sharp washing machines have attracted consumer interest. But before deciding to purchase, many want to know how good this "home helper" really is. The best way to find out is through real-life reviews, which we've found and compiled in this article.

SHARP ES-FA5102AR

Natalia, Moscow

I'm happy with this brand of washing machine. I bought it based on intuition and common sense, as there were no reviews about them, or even about Sharp itself. Besides Sharp, I considered Samsung, Electrolux, Bosch, and Indesit. My conclusions were as follows.

• Electroluxes are too expensive, more or less decent models turned out to be beyond my means, and the budget versions are completely substandard.
• I dismissed Samsung almost immediately, as my sister has a new Samsung machine, and my mom has a Samsung, although it's been working for seven years. Their shortcomings are well known, and I'm not happy with them. Mainly strong vibration during spinning and electronics constantly freezing.
• I might have considered Bosch, but a washing machine repairman I know talked me out of it, saying the quality of their parts and assembly had gotten worse recently, and the price was a bit high. I can't comment on the parts or assembly, but I did look at the price and ruled it out.
• I almost agreed to the Indesit, but after talking to my friends and learning about their sad “experiences” with these machines, I gave them up too.

Indesit washing machines produced after 2010 have extremely unreliable electronics.

What's the bottom line? I almost ended up with nothing. I'd dismissed all the washing machine brands I was more or less familiar with, but I had to buy something; I couldn't live without a machine. And so my eyes turned to a previously unknown make and model: the SHARP ES-FA5102AR. I don't know what prompted me to buy it; perhaps it was intuition, because I didn't consult anyone this time.

The washing machine turned out to be excellent. It has a ton of features, a good drum capacity, and runs like a Swiss watch. It's quiet, doesn't shake, and spins clothes perfectly. I did notice one small issue with the door rubber. It seems to have a large recess in the rubber, which collects a lot of water. I have to thoroughly wipe the rubber after each wash, but otherwise, everything is great.

I first saw this machine at a friend's place. I was surprised that the SHARP ES-FA5102AR barely vibrated at all during the spin cycle, so quiet you could even place a glass of wine on it. My old Samsung washing machine was so loud that all the neighbors could hear it, I was already thinking about replacing it, and then I happened to be visiting. So, I bought the SHARP ES-FA5102AR and I haven't regretted it for a minute. It only has the essentials, so you won't get confused, and I tend to mix up the wash programs. In short, this washing machine was made for me—it's affordable and reliable.

Besides the fact that the washing machine is quite quiet, I also discovered that it doesn’t have any unnecessary programs.

Sharp ESFB6122AR

Julia, Orel

We bought this washing machine just recently, a little over a month ago, and so far we're very happy with it. We bought it on a whim, since even the salespeople knew very little about it. The washing machine is very quiet, and even during the spin cycle there's almost no annoying rattling. We had a little something underneath our old washing machine. anti-vibration mat, and we didn’t even put it under the Sharp ESFB6122AR, there was no need.

I was very pleased with the option to change the program while washing, as well as open the door to add laundry. We're thrilled with the washing machine, and we recommend it to everyone we know, and we even write reviews about Sharp washing machines.

Elena, Moscow

My husband chose the washing machine, so the purchase was entirely his responsibility. As soon as I saw the brand name, I immediately felt a bit sad. However, everything turned out much better than I expected. The washing machine showed itself from the best side, I especially liked the variety of programs and functions. In particular, I often use the super-quick wash program and the add items during the wash cycle feature. It's a really great feature; not all expensive machines have it, but this inexpensive model has it. Although I was initially wary of the Sharp ESFB6122AR, it's now my favorite "home assistant."

In conclusion, Sharp washing machines aren't as common as, for example, well-known brand-name appliances like Samsung, Electrolux, or Indesit. Reviews of Sharp washing machines confirm this, as there are very few of them. Nevertheless, consumers consistently show interest in these machines, meaning they're at least worth your attention!
