Reviews of users

Natalia Tikhonina

Model: Indesit BTW A61052

Pros: Neat appearance. Quiet. Clear control. Low energy consumption.

Cons: Too bad there is no display.

Commentary: The machine washes quickly, clothes are always clean and do not deteriorate. There is no display, but everything is clear from the indicators that light up depending on the washing mode. Sufficiently bulky things are placed in the drum. It is convenient that the loading is done vertically, since we have children. It's a pity that there is no display, it would be much more convenient and clear with it.
