TCL is a Chinese-made washing machine. Washers of this brand belong to the lower price segment. We will find out what kind of brand it is, what models it represents and where they can be bought.
Whose company is TCL?
TCL is the largest manufacturer of electronics and household appliances. The main products are television sets, climate control equipment, and communication equipment. This is a giant Chinese corporation with offices in many countries. TSL products are sold all over the world, win awards at exhibitions, and successfully compete with leading brands.
The company's credo is the pursuit of creativity and innovation. Unlike most Chinese manufacturers, TSL relies not on low prices, but on innovative technologies. The abbreviation TCL (The Creative Life) stands for "creative life." The company has an official website, but there is no information about the AGR on it.
Today, the majority of buyers who purchase household appliances are interested in which country they are directly assembling. Consumers noticed that there is a close relationship between the place of production and the quality of the final product. Chinese washing machines do not inspire confidence among our citizens, they are perceived as cheap washing machines designed for a couple of years of work. SMA TCL produces an industrial giant with a good reputation in the electronics market. It is natural to expect that the washing equipment of this brand will refute the opinion of the low grade of the Chinese assembly.

Conclusions
To summarize:
- TCL is a company that has conquered the world with its TVs. She has great opportunities, but her SMA supplied to the Russian market is quite primitive. But the simpler the device, the more reliable it is.
- TSL washing machines have not yet had time to gain feedback, some models have just entered the market, others are expected to be on sale.
The TCL brand still relies on budget models - they are the main bulk of the proposed SMA. But given the power of this industrial giant, it is possible that he has a lot of trump cards in his sleeve and more interesting models at competitive prices will soon appear on our market. An example of this is the version with an inverter motor and 16 programs.
