The wash-servant

In 2009, when I bought this washing machine for my first (student) flat was. It was more a random purchase. Meanwhile, the good piece is 5 years old and it has actually been through everything that can join a washing machine: three removals, soils with and without insulating mat, overloads and a full year it was even unused in the basement.
Nevertheless, the washing performance is still really acceptable. And I had not yet repaired ONCE a good piece in the whole time. It is extremely narrow and fits into any bathroom, kitchen, hallway, utility room.

And now, why I "only" three stars give.
This thing is loud ... and I do not mean loud as "a bit noisy during the spin cycle." This fabulous product is supplied with a whole range of comic noises. And they are all HIGH. But violently.
Well, after 5 years pig work is clear that at some point the drum-bearing kneel ... or maybe not? One does not know. Everyone has his own quality standards ...
From the beginning, the machine stomped peacefully on their way and let the spinning half tenement gently shake. This is because the machine has a somehow strange emphasis. You can hear the normal washing and initial water intake only an air pressure bottle-like "PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH", which is not only very quiet to hear through the bathroom door, there is then a bit more interesting. During washing, the machine stands firmly on her mat and are only at high revs a satisfied "WWWWWWWRRRRR" by itself, followed by the almost missing "PSSSSHSHHHHSHS" the initial wash cycle. So far, the noise was still just on the usual for an apartment building noise.
Then the spin is coming ... it starts with a confident "Schaa-DUNK ......... shah-DUUUNK ....... RA DUNK DUNK DUNK-DU-DU-DU-DU - etc "... you realize: we go! From now on, the fun begins! The machine begins to hops back and forth to sway.
I say this again: the machine has done from the beginning! It is only more and louder until you can take really serious over the years, it is no longer ...
The now hobbling on her mat fluctuating machine (5cm room to the left, right, front and rear) will show why this a Learjet engine was installed, and why this is so great. In spin soon a satisfactory "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" sounds from the machine down the hall, down to the first floor. This mixed to a stunning symphony with the everlasting "DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA" of the increases in the bathroom floor and mumbling "BUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBU" the resonances that continue throughout the apartment floor down to the apartment below. It often happens that I'll still cradled on the sofa in the living room by the gentle vibration of the floor to sleep .... if the bathroom door to be and I'm wearing headphones .... you have very old neighbors, wear hearing aids, this washing machine is perfectly adequate. If you want to avoid having pets or toddlers herald the doomsday, then rather not.

Conclusion: The machine is a real wash-servant and is serving, as it should provide it! However, I am always surprised at how incredibly loud can be a small device so;) I recommend the successor models or a front loader.
