RANK #9:
Equator appliances promise to be innovative, practical, top-quality appliances that save time, space, energy and reduce pollutants, so let’s have a look at one of their appliances. Already at the first look I can tell that the design overall is pretty different style than other brands. I would say it’s pretty simplistic, no LCD, nothing, just a few buttons. Again, it depends on what you prefer, to me a nice, if possible big, LCD screen showing me exactly what’s happening is a must when looking to buy most devices – not just washers. I just like to have things under control and know exactly what’s going on over there inside.

| Here you can find and compare user comments and prices from different online stores. Just a small advice – if you find a lot of positive reviews and some negative ones, it usually means that the complaining people don’t use the machine properly, or received some defective piece. | ||
