The Eurosoba (Euronova) washing machine is not in great demand, and this is mainly explained by the principle of the company, which itself refuses mass advertising campaigns. Today we will examine in detail what the washing devices of this company are. And first we will tell you that the brand has two historical roots at once, developing in parallel in different countries, and only then united into one corporation that produces today's Eurosoba (Euronova) washing machines.
Eudora
Technology with Austrian quality. The beginning of the story is 1947. It is worth noting that the first models operated on energy from burnt wood. Three years later, the company began to produce devices that served as the beginning of success in development. The machines also ran on wood, but also swept drums and electric drives, like modern models. Six long years later, the company released the Kangaroo unit, which has all the basic functions - washing, heating water, spinning. This unit gained popularity and brought the company to the leaders.
Soba
These devices are distinguished by Swiss chic. Production was established in 1953.Rapid development took place in the 60s - 80s, and during this period the company began to interact with many companies, including the Eudora factory. This cooperation allowed the Austrian product to enter the European market.
With the advent of the 21st century, another brand became known - Soba. It was from this moment that the updated Eurosoba (Euronova) washing machine was released.
General technical specifications
A clarification should be made - SMA companies are known under various brands - Soba, Euronova, Eurosoba, Babynova, Eumenia. Despite the numerous names, this is the same unit, which has common parameters, advantages and disadvantages.
Compact dimensions
This is the main feature of the washing machine. The height reaches 69 cm, the width and depth of the machine does not exceed 46 cm, which allows it to be installed in a combined bathroom or under a sink. Almost all SMAs have a maximum load of three kilograms of dry items, and only the newest models are increased to 4 kg. In principle, for a small family this is quite optimal.
Light weight
Another rational difference between this machine is 36 – 50.5 kg of weight. It moves well, ideal for lovers of summer holidays in the country. The unit is easily and quickly transported and installed. There are models equipped with handles and wheels for ease of movement.
Completeness
The manufacturer, who carefully thought out the main thesis for his equipment: “machines for washing things under the sink,” decided to produce sinks specifically designed for such units. There are so many options for “water lilies” that there is a choice for any room.
The design of the sinks successfully matches the appearance of the machines; in addition, the company began to sell replaceable panels of different colors so that they harmonize with washing devices.
Limitations in choice
The Eurosoba (Euronova) washing machine stands out not only for its advantages, but also for certain negative aspects, mainly related to limited supply and limited choice. For example, in Russia such devices are found only in large cities, and the company itself produces six models, three of which are considered variations of the 1100 variant with certain differences:
- EUROSOBA 600;
- EUROSOBA 800;
- EUROSOBA 1000;
- EUROSOBA 1100 Sprint;
- EUROSOBA 1100 Sprint Plus;
- EUROSOBA 1100 Sprint Plus Inox.
Advantages of units
Small size and weight, ergonomics and harmonious packaging are, without a doubt, positive qualities, but the advantages of the washing machine do not end there.
Fundamentality confirmed by time
The machines are considered reliable and have a long service life. The plant provides a two-year guarantee, fifteen years of operation and a quarter of a century of perfect operation, which is confirmed in practice by the Euronova washing machine, produced in the 80s. This is due to the manual assembly of the unit, careful production control over each production stage, and the use of high-quality raw materials.
Stainless steel is used to manufacture the tank and drum; the body is made of galvanized metal and high-strength polymers, after which the machine is almost not subject to corrosion and aging.
In addition, the units do not have a large amount of electronics, so there is practically nothing to break in them.
The equipment is considered economical and environmentally friendly
It has already been said that the production of machines is established from high-quality raw materials that meet all the requirements of the European standard for environmental friendliness. It should also be noted that the machines do not consume too much water, electrical energy and washing powder, which immediately places them in the economical and environmentally friendly category of devices. To save thirty percent on detergents, there is a special eco-valve; a special automatic weighing function and a small loading volume help save electricity and water.
Ease of use and installation
The devices are easy to install and use, and easily connect to the necessary communications. The light weight allows you to move the device without problems, the turn signals are of a mechanical type, the panel is Russified, the electronics are not complicated. Even a child can handle such a unit after carefully studying the operating instructions.
Disadvantages of models
This includes not only limited choice. There are several other disadvantages that worry buyers:
· high cost of goods. European manufacturing and manual assembly dictate the conditions for prices, which start from 30,000 rubles;
· expensive repairs. SMA companies are distinguished by a high quality level and can work for many years without problems. But when repairs are necessary, significant problems arise - spare parts are expensive, and only the plant located in Austria supplies them. And not all workshops undertake repairs of these models due to their low popularity;
· insufficient number of functions. Many machines have a small set of programs and technologies.There are models that do not have drying processes, normal spinning, timer and display;
· limited loading. The issue is controversial, since this is suitable for bachelors and small families.
