Because of bearing damage the Alt washing machine had to be either repaired or replaced. As the price / cost of a repair (I would have made the exchange of the parts themselves) was no longer considered to be justified taking into account the then purchase price, age and expected further term after repair, we were looking for a cheap washing machine in the initial purchase. We were surprised to find this brand product in the lower price range and ordered this. The delivery free site with entrainment of packaging and old machine (was when ordering commissioned). Date commitment was the following Friday 13-18 Clock, the machine was delivered on Friday by 15 clock. On Wednesday before the forwarder called us and informed us about the upcoming, on-time delivery. Both suppliers set the machine in the cellar, grabbed these out and took the package with. Had my wife geblinkert a little more, then the gentlemen had the washing machine still connected. But since I am then surfaced; So I had to connect the washing machine. But what also no big deal was: The inlet hose already has its own water-stop at the port to tap what surprised me positively (for the old brand device had such accessories are purchased separately). The feet of the machine were easy to adjust and put the washing machine so "into the water" to. The transport locks were easy to disassemble; this lay in their own covers of the machine to close the openings. Sewage was also easy to connect and fix. In the first round coarse linen and towels washed and selected a program. The machine checked before the start of the wash cycle the content and if necessary re-calculated the washing time! The filling of the machine is thus accordingly, and it was evident in the first washing process that immense potential for energy savings here. An on-commentator noted that the machine during the spin cycle is a bright hum of itself. This I can indeed confirm, but do not bother me, because compared to the old washing machine, I have to listen directly to realize that this runs. After a few washes it can be stated that the machine does not need readjustment, is running correctly and is evident from a robust design, but this is only for initial assessment after the first week. Experience has shown that damages, if any, within the first 6 weeks, so I'm excited confident. I would highly recommend this machine at this price; the delivery was as promised and on schedule.
