Hiberg washing machines have not yet gained great popularity among Russian consumers. The name of the new brand is easily confused with the Chinese brand Haier, moreover, it clearly indicates belonging to the famous German quality. We will find out where the washers are actually made under the loud name “high mountain” (High and Verg in German) and what our consumer may be interested in.
What brand is Highberg?

The country is the manufacturer of Heberg automatic washing machines - China. You can get acquainted with all products manufactured under the Hiberg brand on the official website of the company.

A small number of reviews copied from site to site, their dubious enthusiasm and the absence of at least the slightest remarks indicate a complete lack of contact for those who wrote with this model. Well, at least something should not have been like. Even to the “Bosch” and “Samsung” people have complaints. Therefore, rummaging in the network, we tried to find reviews with specific conclusions. Most consumer comments fall into the “minus” category.
Disadvantages:
- No leakage protection.
- During mode selection - with the black rotary knob, the mode is not highlighted. Dots are simply drawn on the case - the user is indignant. You can easily "slip" past the desired mode.
- The spin is not high enough - the laundry is wet.
- After washing, small objects — socks, scarves, etc., appear between the glass of the “window” and the elastic.
Users write that the design of the washer is very good - similar to LG. The manufacturer tried to copy everything that he could from the best brands - design, drum design, etc., but such trifles as “black dots” give out its level. A mile away you can see the desire to like cheaply, to attract attention and even be misleading - for example, the name of the brand. In general, reviews about the car are not bad - after a few months of operation, what will happen in 2-3 years - we'll see.

A washing machine for 25,000 rubles usually requires perfect work, and given the presence of negative comments, it is difficult to believe in the infallibility of this version.
The assortment also has a model WQ2-610 W, it has the same characteristics as the previous model, but costs a couple of thousand cheaper. Cars are almost identical, only the design of the control panel is different. In appearance, this model is LG poured, the Chinese masterfully copied the machine.

Conclusions
To summarize:
- SMA Hiberg made in China. The Chinese manufacturer either underestimates our consumers, or relies on its niche - customers who are passionate about promises and beautiful design. So, for example, in the characteristics on the official website of the brand it is indicated that the drum is made of stainless steel. But he has all the stainless steel SMA, but the tank of the Chinese plastic cars. This was modestly silent on the site, although there is nothing special about it - today most middle class washers have a plastic tank.
On a note! A tank and a drum are not the same thing as you might think. We load laundry into the drum. A tank is a body in which a drum rotates in water.
- There are very few reviews on the network that would make it possible to get a reliable picture of the work of "highbergs".
- Almost all models in one "weight category". They have the same design, similar design, no drying, an equal number of programs and no leakage protection. Models differ in price, body color and nuances.
SMA "Khyberg" is not so much a high mountain as a dark horse. Little is known about the technical side of products; there are no descriptions of implemented technologies and implemented solutions. These machines are designed to conquer the consumer with one of their kind, they are beautiful, they are expensive, and how they work there - the user will learn over time, as the operation.
