Ignis washing machines
The Ignis washing machine, like the Ignis brand itself, isn't as well-known in the CIS as, say, Samsung or Indesit. However, this brand produces some very good top-loading "home helpers." But let's not jump to conclusions about this brand and its machines. Let's explore this topic in more detail.
Examples of the best models of Ignis brand machines
To better understand the washing machines sold under the Ignis brand, a brief overview is needed, including examples of specific models and a discussion of their key pros and cons. Let's begin our review with the Ignis LTE8027 top-loading washing machine from Whirlpool.
This "device" deserves attention, if only because, with an average price of $250, it has many of the features of a full-fledged mid-range automatic washing machine. The machine offers 10 basic washing programs you'll enjoy using. The drum holds up to 5 kg of laundry at a maximum spin speed of 800 rpm. Noise levels during washing are 59 dB, and during spinning, up to 72 dB. The hoses and body of the machine are leak-proof, and a child safety lock is also included. Energy efficiency class Machines A, washing class A, spin class D. Dimensions 90x40x60.
Please note! This machine has a nice "intelligent wash control" feature, which is rare in budget washing machines.
The Ignis LTE8027 washing machine has the following obvious advantages:
- Low price. This is the first advantage many consumers notice.
- The build quality is surprisingly high, even though the machine, as we've already noted, is in a low price category.
- It washes and rinses well. The wash quality is better than most automatic front-loading washing machines. The manufacturer has done a great job here!
- Easy operation combined with a fully functional software interface makes this machine easy to use even for an elderly grandmother.
- Even during intensive work, the machine is very stable, does not jump or move from side to side.
- The machine does not have any unnecessary washing programs, only what is necessary and important.
This washing machine is not without its drawbacks, as is any complex piece of equipment.
- The design of the car is primitive, which immediately gives away that it is a cheap model.
- The spin quality leaves much to be desired. If the manufacturer had allowed the Ignis LTE8027's drum to spin at up to 1000 rpm, this problem wouldn't exist. As it is, the laundry comes out noticeably damp, very damp, and in some cases even dripping wet.
- This washing machine lacks some basic features common to all modern automatic machines, such as an audible notification when the wash cycle is complete or a timer indicating the remaining wash time.
Next on our list is the Ignis LTE1055 top-loading washing machine. This model is more advanced than the Ignis LTE8027, but the average price is also higher, around $300. What makes its features so appealing?
Note: Despite the similar specifications of these two washing machine models, the Ignis LTE1055 is more attractive than the Ignis LTE8027.
The maximum drum load is the same as the model described above, 5 kg, but the spin speed is up to 1000 rpm, which is a significant advantage. The washing, rinsing, and energy efficiency ratings are A, and the spinning performance is C. It has leakage protection, imbalance control, foam control, and intelligent washing control. Noise level up to 72 dB, 10 washing programs, durable. Dimensions 90x40x60.
What are the advantages of the Ignis LTE1055 washing machine?
- Attractive design.
- Good assembly and quality parts.
- This machine is very easy to use.
- It has a full set of necessary additional functions.
- It squeezes pretty well.
- Saves water and electricity.
Disadvantages of the Ignis LTE1055 washing machine:
- limited spin modes;
- There are screws for leveling the machine on the floor only on the front legs, there are no such screws on the rear ones;
- There is no indication of the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle.
Ignis washing machine reviews
Now, let's look at some consumer reviews of Ignis washing machines. Please note that we did not intentionally select the reviews for this article. The selection was compiled based on random search queries and intentional databases.
Sergey 34 years old, Moscow
I bought an Ignis LTE1055 washing machine two years ago. I originally wanted a side-by-side model, but there wasn't enough space in the bathroom, so I decided to get this one. A washing machine for those who value simple, high-quality household appliances without frills or bells and whistles. It has everything you need, though I'd add a delayed start, but overall it's fine as is. It's a bit loud, of course, but it's faint in the bathroom, so it doesn't bother me. I'm a little annoyed that there's no display, so you can't tell how much time is left in the wash cycle, but that's just a matter of getting used to. For the price, it's a decent machine.

Ignis LTE8027 washing machine. First off, let's get to the downsides: it's very noisy. I keep it in the kitchen, and when it's washing, you can hear it throughout the entire apartment, it's practically ringing in your ears. It spins laundry terribly; you take out shirts and bed linen almost wet. Besides, it's unclear when the machine has finished washing, because it doesn't indicate when, and you can't see how much is left in the wash cycle. I should have saved up some money and bought a proper machine; I'll replace it as soon as I can.
Natalia, 38 years old, Pskov
I liked the washing machine right away; it has everything I need, and the price is low. The Ignis LTE1055 fits perfectly in the bathroom niche. It looks like a simple machine, no screen, no pretty buttons like on other washing machines, and it makes quite a loud noise., but it doesn't bother me, the main thing is that everything fits nicely in the bathroom. Everything is within easy reach and everything is convenient. The compartments for detergents and conditioner are very convenient.
History of the Ignis brand
The Ignis brand originates from Italy, created by the world-famous washing machine manufacturer Guido Borgi. This brilliant industrialist and his sons were the brains behind hundreds of ideas that were considered cutting-edge in the 1940s. Perhaps this is why his production quickly gained momentum and began to grow at a breakneck pace.
Later, in 1972, the Ignis brand was bought by Philips Corporation and owned it until 1989, when the brand was bought by Whirlpool, which still successfully owns this brand to this day, producing a variety of appliances under it, including washing machines.
Ignis, which translates from Latin as “fire,” is known in Europe as a good brand of refrigerators, microwave ovens, ovens, and, of course, washing machines.
In conclusion, Ignis washing machines will be appreciated by those who prefer top- and front-loading "home helpers." They're budget-friendly, but that doesn't mean they're bad—quite the opposite, in fact. Happy shopping!

There's this contraption on top, where you put the washing powder, and then this toad pours out so much water—it's awful! I bought it for 22,000 rubles. Don't buy this machine! I wanted to return it on the fourth day, but they told me everything was fine, I couldn't. It'll break down, then come back. Now I'm struggling with it. Then I looked, this Electrolux machine costs 3,000 rubles more. 25,000. I fell for the European assembly and these American ones. Don't buy it—you'll regret it.
The machine is excellent. It runs quietly. I spin wet laundry at 400 rpm. I'm happy. I bought it at the Home and Appliances online store in Lviv. Thanks to manager Ruslan. I recommend using him.
My IGNIS AWF 504 washing machine will be 20 years old in April 2018, and I'm very happy with it. I bought it in Finland.
