Indesit (Indesit)
Indesit is a large Italian brand of household appliances that belongs to the international group of Whirlpool Group.
There is no younger company than Indesit among the leaders in the field of household appliances. It is one of the trademarks of Merloni Elettrodomestici. The concern became famous in 1930 when it was managed by Aristide Merlon.
He opened a scale manufacturing company in Fabriano, Italy. Unfortunately, the factory was destroyed during the war. And Aristide had no choice but to start producing liquefied gas cylinders and electric water heaters in his company Merloni Elettrodomestici in 1945. Then Merloni Elettrodomestici started producing household appliances.
The company Indesit (until 2005 was called Merloni Elettrodomestici) appeared in 1975. The company was headed by one of the members of the Merlon family - Vittorio Merlon.
As a leading European manufacturer of household appliances, the company was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange in 1987. The company's products are represented by such brands as Indesit, Hotpoint-Ariston, Scholtès (France).
In 2000, the Indesit company acquired the Stinol refrigerator factory in Lipetsk. Three years later, the first stone was laid for the construction of the washing machine factory.
At the end of 2014, the Indesit company became part of the American corporation Whirlpool.
Indesit as a washing machine
The modern market is loved by consumers with a huge variety of shapes and types of Indesit washing machines, so the choice of equipment can sometimes be very difficult. In general, when choosing a washing machine, you should have a clear idea of where your washing machine will be placed and how often you will use it. And to create a clearer idea of which Indesit model you need, you can rely on the following criteria:
- of space. This parameter is directly related to the number of potential users of the washing machine. The minimum load of Indesit washing machines can be from 2.5 to 4 kg of laundry. Such volumes are optimal for small families, but if the family grows and there are children in it, then it will be much more practical to use cars with a large load volume - from 5 to 11 kg.
- Functional. The standard number of washing machine modes of the Indesit brand is from 10 to 18 units, but you can also find more "complex units" equipped with additional settings, such as "steam washing" (washing without water), "quiet mode". ", "control foam" (very important when working with delicate fabrics), "leak protection" and "water flow control". The more additional options, the more expensive the unit, but if the option is really necessary, then the price increase no longer seems such a dramatic moment.
- energy efficiency. A very important parameter, especially for users who wash a large amount of laundry. This parameter is evaluated using letters of the Latin alphabet - the lower the letter, the more energy-intensive the technique. Units marked A +++ are the most economical to use.
- Drive and engine type. Recently, washing machines with a direct motor and the presence of an inverter appeared on the market and became stronger. These models are more expensive, but in return they offer their owners such options as quiet operation, low energy consumption and the ability to spin a large amount of laundry in 1 washing cycle.
- control. The most common are washing machines that can be controlled using control levers or a digital display. But it is no longer rare devices that can be configured via a smartphone or the Internet (just download the program from any market and now you can turn on the device, start washing and in some cases fix minor accidents).
- Download type. This feature divides washing machines into two camps. Front-loading machines - the hatch is located at the front of the machine, leaving the top surface free, while top-loading machines - the laundry door is located on top of the machine. At this stage, the choice of device should be justified on where you plan to place the device.
