Advantages of European washing machines

When talking about the advantages of European-assembled washing machines, you need to take into account the human factor, or rather, the consumer factor. Many people are sure that the quality of the European assembly is much higher than the Chinese one. But this is not entirely true - even if the manufacturer assembles his equipment somewhere in China, he fully controls the assembly process. And the production facilities themselves most often belong to the manufacturers themselves.

Thus, we will not notice any obvious advantages, but according to general sensations European assembly looks more reliable. Buyers of German equipment managed to make sure of this, because German manufacturers are extremely scrupulous and pay attention even to trifles.

How to buy a European assembly washing machine

Buying a European-assembled washing machine is very simple - just ask the seller for documents for the equipment being sold. Looking at the passport, we will see who is actually the manufacturer. But don't look at the barcode, since in most cases the country in which the parent company operates is encrypted there, while the device itself can be assembled elsewhere.

Can I buy a used washing machine from Europe? Of course you can - for this you need to pay attention to the bulletin boards, where relevant offers are often published.But it is unprofitable to carry used equipment from Europe itself, which is associated with difficulties in transportation and high customs fees.Better to consider washing machines with a markdown in appearanceif you save on the purchase.
