• Review of Indesit washing machines. Review of the production of Indesit washing machines in Lipetsk: washing in Russian with an Italian accent

    Indesit is an Italian engineering company, one of the largest manufacturers household appliances on the territory of Europe. One of the trademarks of the Merloni Elettrodomestici concern. The company's headquarters is located in Fabriano.

    The emergence of Indesit

    The Merloni Elettrodomestici concern took its first steps back in the 30s of the last century. Its creator was Aristide Merloni. In Fabriano, a small Italian town, he opened a company producing scales. With the onset of World War II, all of Merloni's plans were upset. His factory was destroyed, and the entrepreneur had no choice but to look for new ways to develop his business.

    In 1945, the company began producing liquefied gas cylinders and electric water heaters. This equipment was in great demand throughout the country and Aristide Merloni came to the conclusion that it was necessary to create technological base for the production of other electrical appliances. Thus, the Merloni Elettrodomestici plant begins to produce household appliances.

    In 1975, after the death of the brand's creator, Aristide Merloni, his son Vittorio Merloni became president. Competition in the household appliances market at that time was very high. The company needed to reach a new level of production. Beginning in the 70s, a number of financial and marketing activities were carried out, which helped the company become a leader. In 1985, the brand bought the Indesit company, one of the most popular in Europe. Merloni Elettrodomestici is renamed Indesit Company. The shares of this concern begin to be listed on the Milan Stock Exchange.

    Indesit today

    Today, Indesit is one of the largest manufacturers of household appliances in Europe. Its main brands are Indesit, Hotpoint-Ariston, Scholtès. The company has 14 factories located in Italy, Great Britain, Poland, Turkey and Russia, employing 126 thousand people. Since 2006, it has been a member of the UN Global Compact, based on ten principles in the field of environmental protection, human rights, and the fight against corruption.

    Indesit is confidently gaining momentum and is a very tangible competitor to such world-famous brands as Electrolux, Bosch, Philips. This became possible thanks to innovative developments in the field of household appliances, their highest quality, durability and elegant design.

    Indesit in Russia is the undoubted leader in the household appliances market. The company's first representative office in the CIS was opened in 1993. It owns three largest factories producing washing machines and refrigerators, as well logistics center, located in the Lipetsk region. Indesit takes an active part in the economic development of this area. At the Lipetsk plant, the company created a special economic zone based on the Italian industrial model.

    The production capacity of Indesit's Russian enterprises is at least 3 million units per year. According to Euromonitor International, the company took 6th place in Russian market household appliances.

    Indesit (Indesit)- manufacturer of household appliances from Italy.

    History of the Indesit brand

    Trade Indesit brand(Indesit) is one of the youngest global representatives in its field. Only high-quality household appliances are produced under this brand. The owner of this brand is the Merloni Elettrodomestici concern. The history of the concern began in 1930, when a young entrepreneur, Aristide Merloni, opened his own company producing scales in the small Italian town of Fabriano. The Second World War, which began shortly thereafter, radically changed the direction of Aristide's activities. His factory was destroyed, and he began to chart a new course of development - opening in 1945 the production of branded electric water heaters and compact liquefied gas cylinders. These products were in fairly good demand, which allowed the company to create a broad technological base for building production facilities producing other groups of electrical goods. A few years later, Merloni Elettrodomestici became closely involved in the production of household appliances. The first and very successful model was the Ariston cooker.

    In 1975, Aristide Merloni’s own son, Vittorio Merloni, was appointed head of the Merloni Elettrodomestici company. By this time, competition between manufacturers of household appliances had increased significantly, and it was quite difficult to compete with such famous brands as and, whose products were simply in overwhelming demand. Almost Merloni's only trump card was the fact that in Italy at that time there was not a single large company, producing household appliances for export. Therefore, from 1970 to 1990, the Merloni Elettrodomestici company began to carry out a series of financial and marketing activities to increase demand for the company's products, which were presented to the public under various trade brands. So in 1975, a new manufacturer of household appliances appeared in Italy - Indesit. The equipment of this company was able to win the favor of customers in the shortest possible time, and literally a couple of years later it became one of the most popular companies in Europe. By the end of the 1980s, the annual turnover of Indesit products was more than one and a half times higher than the turnover of Ariston products. In 1989, Vittorio Merloni, striving for new heights, decided to buy out the Indesit brand.

    Almost immediately after the acquisition, the business of the Merloni Elettrodomestici concern rapidly went uphill. Electric and gas stoves, dishwashers and washing machines, refrigerators and freezers, as well as other large and small household appliances began to be produced under the Ariston and Indesit brands. The Merloni Elettrodomestici concern began to expand rapidly. New representative offices were opened in Poland, France, Turkey and Portugal. Soon a strategic moment came - it was necessary to change the company's name. This procedure was necessary to unite many small brands under one name, which in turn was supposed to help ensure more effective export of equipment on the world market. The decision to change the company's name was made at the general meeting of shareholders of Merloni Elettrodomestici, which took place on September 6, 2004. Four months later decision made came into force and the Merloni Elettrodomestici concern was renamed Indesit Company. The company's management almost unanimously agreed that Indesit is a popular and well-known name that will perfectly emphasize the serious attitude of the concern. In addition, the president of the company noted that in no case is he going to deviate from the established traditions introduced by Aristide Merlone. The Indesit company will also develop dynamically, delighting its customers with only high-quality and, as always, affordable equipment.

    At the beginning of 1993, the Merloni Elettrodomestici concern presented its equipment to the Russian market for the first time. Russians appreciated the products of the Indesit and Ariston brands. In 1995, the first Russian representative office of the company was opened in Moscow. By the beginning of 1997, sales volumes of Indesit products in Russia increased by more than 2.5 times. In 2000, Merloni Elettrodomestici bought the Russian Stinol plant, where, after a fairly significant reconstruction and modernization, the production of improved refrigerators was opened. The improved plant produced approximately 1,300,000 finished units per year. In 2004, a second Indesit plant was opened in Russia.

    Today Indesit Company produces products under such famous brands as Indesit, Stinol, Ariston, Scholtes and Hotpoint. About 15% of all household appliances on the European market are produced by the Indesit Company. In total, the company produces more than 14 million finished units of equipment per year.

    In 2007, Etica Sgr. and Bipiemme Gestioni conducted research to identify socially responsible firms. A huge number of indicators were taken into account: workplace safety, respect for employee rights, care for the environment and many others. According to the results of these studies, Indesit Company was recognized as one of the best, and this is a wonderful illustration of the fact that this company always cares about its employees, consumers, product quality and the environment.

    The Italian brand Indesit is well known in the CIS. The brand produces various household appliances, including automatic washing machines. Let's find out what the manufacturer offers and how to choose the model that's right for you.

    The Indesit brand has long been heard by our consumers. This brand belongs to the Italian company of the same name Indesit Company, which unites several famous brands under its wing - Ariston, Stinol, Scholtes, Hotpoint. The volume of products produced by the company is simply colossal - 14 million units of equipment per year, which is 15% of all household appliances produced in Europe.

    The consumer is not interested in delving into the history of the company, production volumes and other details of activity. The buyer of household appliances is more interested in:

    • Whose production?
    • Where are they collected?
    • How much does it cost and how long will it last?

    The first two questions are easy to answer. Italy is not the only country where Indesit automatic cars are produced. They are also produced in:

    • Poland;
    • UK;
    • Turkey;
    • and more recently in Russia.

    Indesit washing machines are assembled at 14 factories located in these countries. There is a popular myth among consumers that the quality of equipment - even one model - depends on a specific plant. How true this is is something that needs to be examined on a case-by-case basis. But many buyers prefer not to delve into the details of production and simply buy SMAs made in Europe.

    We have found out what the manufacturer is, it remains to understand the larger question - what does it offer and why many buyers, having a lot of offers, choose Indesit washing machines.

    Does it make sense to buy “Russian” Indesit?

    Since 2004, the Italian concern settled in Lipetsk and began producing Indesit washing machines. By transferring power closer to the consumer, the manufacturer seeks to reduce the cost of products, that is, again looking for ways to his heart. But does it make sense to buy washing machines produced at the Lipetsk plant? Will saving money turn into a fiasco?

    It must be said that Indesit is respected in Russia - it is the leader in sales of large household appliances. If you believe the experts, the quality of Russian-assembled SMAs is indeed lower. A miracle did not happen - you pay less, you get less quality.

    Fortunately, all automatic machines from Indesit, regardless of where they are assembled, are equipped with protection:

    • from leaks;
    • from power surges.

    Representatives of Russian service departments are unanimous in their opinion - domestically assembled “Indesites” are less reliable than “Europeans”.

    The main problem of Russian-assembled SMAs is their short service life. They work without failure for about two years, and then problems begin. For many families, a breakdown of a washing machine is a real emergency, a disaster, and given that repairing them is expensive, it’s worth thinking about whether you need to save on quality? We thought about quality, and the choice is yours.

    What technologies does the brand offer?

    The choice of models is enormous; it seems that at Indesit everyone can find the car of their dreams.

    • Vertical - open the lid and place laundry on top. There is no need to bend or squat.
    • Frontal - you put the laundry in the round side hatch. You have to sit down to load the laundry. Plus - through the “porthole” you can see the laundry spinning inside.
  • Tank capacity. From 3.5 to 9 kg.
  • Programs. Standard and with extended functionality. If you don’t want to overpay, don’t bother - take it with the standard set. It has been verified that consumers never fully use the “luxury functionality” offered in sophisticated and expensive models.
  • New technologies. SMAs are constantly being improved and equipped with new capabilities:
    • Energy Saver - to save electricity. “Energy Conservation” reduces resource consumption by 70%. Thanks to the special drum rotation speed, laundry is washed efficiently at only +30 °C.
    • Water Balance - to save water. “Water Balance” is a program that monitors the process. The tank contains as much water as needed, and not a drop more.
  • The brand divides all its products into 2 model ranges:

    1. Prime. A technology has been introduced here that saves 60% of water and electricity. Thanks to innovations, washing time has been reduced by almost half. Process time is reduced by up to 50%, input consumption by 60%, power consumption by 60%. Cool Features in SMA Prime series:
      • Mix Cool 30 - quick wash in cold water. Cleans lightly soiled clothes efficiently in water up to 15°C.
      • “Extra” - smoothing while drying.
    2. Eco Time. Saving all resources is also promoted here, but the main feature is special programs and expanded functionality. And also - the ability to wash in small quantities. Interesting features in SMA Eco Time:
      • "Saving time." Available in all Synthetic and Cotton modes. Time spent is reduced by 30% if up to 3 kg of laundry is loaded.
      • “Express” - 1.5 kg of laundry is refreshed in just a quarter of an hour.
      • “Zone 20 °C” - high-quality wash in cold water.

    What SMAs does Indesit produce?

    If you are planning to purchase SMA Prime, you can choose between:

    • full-size - 6–10 kg of laundry;
    • narrow - 4–5 kg of linen;
    • And washing and drying machines.

    There is even more choice in the Eco Time range; here are the versions:

    • full size;
    • narrow;
    • vertical;
    • with drying;
    • drying machines.

    If there is no shortage of space in your home, you can safely take full-size modifications. If it’s a bit cramped, take a narrow or vertical one; it’s easier to squeeze these machines into the bathroom or kitchen. The brand also offers many built-in models that fit compactly into one of the kitchen cabinets.

    What else distinguishes washing machines of this brand:

    • spin speed - from 800 to 4000 rpm;
    • depth - from 33 to 61 cm.

    Should I take a machine with or without a dryer? The second option is cheaper. But if you choose comfort, then it is better to pay extra and buy a device from which you will get almost dry or slightly damp things. It's cheaper than buying a separate dryer.

    • In terms of washing quality, it shares first place with Bosch and Ariston.
    • In terms of price - second place, second only to Hansa.
    • Among front-facing versions, it shares first place with LG and Bosch.

    Pros and cons

    • Lots of features. Most likely, you will find all the modes you need.
    • Quiet operation. Today this is no longer a plus, but rather a requirement. But let's note it anyway.
    • Low vibration level. Your washer will not shake during the spin cycle.
    • Everything is simple and clear. An easy-to-understand interface will allow you to quickly understand the controls.
    • Large price range. There is an SMA from 10,800 to 59,244 rubles.
    • Economical. Thanks to introduced technologies to save water and electricity.
    • Reliability and quality washing. For a brand of this class it is not even discussed.

    All consumer comments are related to the failure of one or another element, which is inevitable for equipment of any level and is explained by simple wear and tear of parts. European-assembled cars rarely break down, warranty period their service is up to 3 years.

    • Most often, bearings fail. This is typical for most SMA. The moving part wears out faster than others.
    • Bearing failure is not so bad; the main problem is the non-separable tank. Indesit is one of the brands that produces SMAs with one-piece (non-separable) tanks. Why they do this is a topic for another discussion. In the meantime, here’s a note for you - a list of brands whose washing machines have non-separable tanks: Ariston, Candy, Whirlpool, ARDO, Beko.
    • Increased vibration and noise - found in domestically assembled SMAs.
    • What else can break - heating element, heating switch, motor capacitor.

    BTWA 5851 - the most popular of the vertical

    There seems to be nothing outstanding in this vertical device. But it was he who became the leader in popularity among buyers. The machine has average capabilities and a reasonable price, which is what most consumers choose.

  • spin speed - 800 rpm;
  • number of programs - 15 pcs.;

    Most buyers learn about the lack of parking and other features as they work. However, they also gradually become familiar with the capabilities of SMA. That’s why, when buying a washing machine, we advise you to delve as much as possible into the nuances of the design and functionality of modern SMAs, so as not to regret the purchase later.

    XWDE 861480X W - with the greatest depth

    Free-standing front modification. A powerful device - roomy and bulky. A drying function is provided.

    • clear interface.
    • the first three dryings there was a smell of rubber;
    • takes a long time and does not dry well;
    • few short modes.

    And again, buyers in the reviews regret the large dimensions. But what, they saw this fact when purchasing. While many technical nuances may still not be known, the dimensions of the device, as they say, are striking. This large and deep device has the maximum capacity (for the brand in question), it is for those who think that the more the merrier. An important plus is high-quality drying in two options. By purchasing this SMA, you will solve the problem of drying large things. You can receive things slightly damp - so that it is convenient to iron, and completely dry.

    Let us summarize the results of our “investigation”. So, Indesit is a reliable technique designed for the average consumer. He does not have ultra-expensive 12 kg or two-drum devices, but each released unit of equipment adequately represents the company. The only nuance worth paying attention to is the country of assembly. And the main disadvantage is that the tank is not removable; if the bearing flies, repairs will cost a pretty penny. Now you know a little more about Indesit, good luck with your choice!

    Particularly in demand are:

    • Swedish;
    • Turkish;
    • Italian;
    • German.
