The wonderful moment has come for our newly-made young family to move to new apartment. Received an order from my wife to choose washing machine and with the choice of brand, I did not think for a long time. My not easy and long choice fell on this model. And here's why: 1) adequate price (I chose something from the average price range) 2) beautiful design, color, etc. (well, there is already a wife ...) 3) dimensions (medium-sized bathroom) 4) A set of functions and modes When choosing (without having children yet), the main mode for the typewriter was "Baby's clothes". Well, after some time (thanks for the congratulations), this mode came in handy for us and "comes in handy" almost every day. Also, I think "Protection from children" will not hurt soon ... Of course, mostly the wife erases. Sometimes, due to circumstances, I have to. And my favorite and understandable mode is "Fast 30", i.e. threw it, chose the mode, pressed the start, left. By the way, I like to turn the round washer for selecting the mode (I don’t know why) and pressing the rest of the keys is pleasant and understandable, like on the dashboard of an expensive foreign car, because it is also a machine, although it is a washing machine. It doesn’t make noise like a tractor, it doesn’t jump like a goat, it hardly eats energy, after washing it also sings a melody. By the way, thank God, I installed the machine myself, without special knowledge with the help of my higher education and "ok Google". Thanks to everyone who read to the end for your attention and patience! The result is brief: I don’t know grief with her (with my wife too).
