Eurosoba washing machines, in comparison with other European brands, are not popular with our consumers. But the reason for low demand is not at all high cost or low quality, but the lack of advertising. The manufacturer does not spend money on promotion, and its products are cheaper. And those who are looking for a compact washer online, and with a probability of 99%, will stumble upon the models offered by this company.
Manufacturing country "Eurosob"
Eurosoba is a Swiss manufacturer resulting from the merger of Eudora and its dealer Soba Trading. Since 2004, washing machines (CMA) began to be sold in Russia. One of the main bets of the manufacturer is quality. They release SMA in Switzerland. Trademarks in this country are in a “privileged” position. Throughout its history, Swiss manufacturers have created such a reserve of quality that today the products manufactured in this country do not need advertising.
CMA device EuroSOBA
The main difference between all Eurosob washing machines is the size. The brand offers small-sized washers. Looking at a small machine, it immediately becomes clear - it just fits under the washbasin. Swiss washers are ideal for small rooms and small families.
The same company also produces sinks of a special design - for their washing machines. There are kitchen sets among the brand’s products - a baby machine can be put in a cupboard.
Despite the small size, the SMA “Eurosoba” have full functionality. Moreover, they surpass many full-size devices in the quality of components and assembly.
Advantages and features:
- Compactness. The maximum height is 68–69 cm, which is 17–20 cm higher than the standards. Depth and width - 45–46 cm, which is comparable to narrow full-size cars.
- Loading. New models with the same dimensions have a load of not 3, but 4 kg. This is enough to serve a small family.
- Weight. Babies weigh 2-3 times less than full-size devices. Their weight is from 36 to 50 kg. They are easy to carry, transport, reinstall. Moreover, one of the models - Eurosoba 600 - is even equipped with special handles to make it easier to carry. All cars are on wheels.
- Complete with sinks. The main concept of manufactured SMA - machines for installation under the sink. So that the consumer does not have any problems with placement, the manufacturer produces special “water lily” sinks with different designs.
- Durable coating. The case has a special super-durable coating - it does not wear out over the entire period of operation.
- Convenient management. There is a convenient panel with rotary handles.
- Durable and durable tanks. All SMA tanks are made of stainless steel.
- Multi-colored panels. The manufacturer offers interchangeable color panels. You can change the color of your typewriter without calling the wizard, changing the panel is very easy. The assortment of panels is red, blue, yellow, white, green, black and silver.
Disadvantages:
- Limited choice. The manufacturer offers only a few models. But given the size and objectives - to wash well, not break and take up a minimum of space, this state of affairs is the most appropriate.
- High price. Consumers do not want to buy a small car at a price of 40,000-70,000 rubles. For this money you can buy a full-sized device of European production.
- Expensive repair. The device is designed for many years of service, but if a breakdown does occur, repair is problematic. Spare parts are expensive, and they are discharged from a factory located in Austria.Eurosobes are unpopular with the Russian consumer, who prefers to wash less often and immediately for the whole family, so many workshops do not undertake their repair.
- Limited functionality. Many models lack features that the consumer is already used to. So, for example, there are baby cars without a timer, display, drying, high-quality spin.
- Low load. This is a moot point. A small model is bought by those who do not wash clothes in large volumes - for example, single people or a family of 2 people.
The service life of the CMA Eurosoba is at least 15 years. Competitors producing compact models have no more than 6 years.
Overview of models and customer reviews
There are only a few modifications to choose from. All of them are small-sized, with a load of 3, 3.5 and 4 kg. The brand produces SMA in three levels:
- Economy: EuroSOBA 600 and 1000.
- Middle class: 1100 sprint.
- Top models: 1100 sprint plus and INOX.
The manufacturer, in addition to white models, offers several more options. Cars of different colors differ in marking:
- silver (stainless steel) - Inox;
- black and white - B&W;
- black and silver - B&S.
The washing equipment produced by a Swiss company is sold under various brands - Eurosoba, Soba, Euronova (Euronova), Babynova, Eumenia. Having different names, the devices are almost identical.
All Eurosobas have front loading and a stainless tank, therefore, when considering cars, we will not clarify these points each time. These small-sized SMA do not have drying.

This is the most popular CMA Eurosoba among Russian consumers. Many users admit that at first they were frightened off by the cost of the device, a stereotype worked out - small-sized should be cheaper. In the case of Swiss quality, this is not so - for a long trouble-free operation, high-quality assembly and materials, an adequate price is set. Users confirm that they use the machine every day, which does not prevent it from working for years without breakdowns and malfunctions. The main advantages of this modification are reliability and almost dry laundry at the exit.
The weak point of this AGR, according to consumers, is plastic parts. They look unpresentable, and can fail - for example, control knobs. (Yes ... there you have Swiss quality.)

Many users note that their "six hundred" work for 10-15 years. No damage. Previously, these washers were called "Euronova." It seems to some consumers that the price is too high, while others, on the contrary, believe that the declared fee is low for high quality. The main disadvantage, according to consumer reviews, is vibration, a small machine can vibrate and move on its small wheels. Many also do not like mechanical control - everyone is used to electronics.

The tank was cut with a hairpin and leaked. Repair cost 14 thousand rubles. How this message corresponds to reality is unknown, but the masters of the warranty service immediately became interested in the breakdown.
