Customer feedback

Customer feedback is reduced to approximately the following. Of course, the washing machine-semi-automatic "Eureka" - this is not an automatic machine, where the entire cycle of washing machine takes over. The quality of washing is not bad, but, as in the case with all "semiautomatic machines", washing requires the participation of the hostess. As a budget option for the villa is suitable "more than".

Regarding operation, there are such remarks:

• The unit does not have protection against increased foaming. If you "go too far" with the powder, then the whole bathroom will be in foam.
• When spinning it is important to evenly distribute things in the tank, otherwise - the vibration will be very strong.
• The disadvantage is the rigid fixing of the tank. In the course of washing, the machine jumps, "like Baba-Yaga in a mortar".
• Neighbors may be unhappy with the increased noise. But in general, since the usual washing takes much less time, you will not worry much about them either.

Important! However, all these shortcomings are overlapped by the fact that the machine is very reliable, out of the category of "non-killed".

So, the washing machine "Eureka" in many situations justifies itself. It is much cheaper than automatic machines, and the quality of washing is quite "on top".The presence of a water pipe is not necessary. The water comes from a well or well, naturally cleaned with a special filter.
