How to choose a narrow Samsung washing machine?

If you are thinking about buying a washing machine, and there is not so much space in the house, you should pay attention to the line of “washing machines” with a depth of 35 to 45 cm. Samsung products are ideal for both those who love innovation and those who value reliability and beauty. In this article, we will consider the features of choosing among the models WW60J30G03W, WW80R52LCFW and WW70J52E02W of the South Korean company.

Most modern manufacturers strive to reduce the size of washing machines. This allows you to save space and place the washer in often unexpected places, for example, under a washbasin. At the moment, a whole class of such devices has formed - narrow washing machines, the depth of which is less than 45 cm. (and often even 40 cm). Moreover, some brands have gone further, and produce cars with a depth of about 30 cm! Full-size standard "washers" are considered devices not already 55 or 60 cm.

The Samsung brand turned out to be less radical in this regard, preferring to focus on the functionality of its products. Nevertheless, the company offers products with a depth of 45 cm.It should not be forgotten that to open the hatch in front of the device, at least the same amount of free space is required, plus at least 5 cm at the back for ventilation.

The peculiarities of Samsung washing machine models are the use of a variety of innovative technologies, which is not surprising. The motto of the South Korean industrial giant is “Turn On Tomorrow”, which can be translated as “Turn on tomorrow”. Among the technologies and functions introduced by the company in the development of washing machines, the following can be noted.

• EcoBubbleTM. A special generator creates air bubbles that effectively dissolve and activate detergents in water, creating a stable lather.

• Inverter motor. Provides quiet operation, durability and reduced power consumption.

• Accelerated wash. Rather, it is a combination of technologies that allows you to reduce washing time (as well as the consumption of water, electricity and detergents) by supplying water directly to the drum from the bottom and from the top at the same time.

• Super Rinse +. It makes it possible to better remove detergents from things, which is important for people with sensitive skin.

• Steam wash. Steam is supplied through the linen in the direction from bottom to top, due to which the residues of detergents are well removed, the fabric is sterilized from bacteria and mites, there are practically no allergens among the fibers.

• Diamond Drum. The special four-sided shape of the grooves and the reduced diameter of the holes on the surface of the drum less wear on the fabric during washing.

• Swirl Drum. Further development of the Diamond Drum. A drum with even smaller holes on the walls is more gentle on the washed items, and the wavy guides will prevent them from tangling.

• AquaProtect. The sensor will instantly stop washing in the event of a water leak.

• Volt Control. The function will not let the machine burn out in case of voltage increase by automatically turning it off.

• Smart Check. Allows self-diagnosis using the Samsung Smart Washer app from the Play Store or Apple Store.

The loading type is front (horizontal) and vertical.In our market there are Samsung cars with front-loading only... The dimensions affect the place where the device can be installed, as well as the ease of maintenance. Recall that we are considering narrow washing machines.

The amount of loaded laundry is usually determined based on the size of the family, although this division is rather arbitrary. For one person, when washing, a capacity of up to 4 kg will be enough, a family of 2-3 people may need from 4 to 6 kg, for a family with two children already from 5 to 8 kg, and for an even larger family and 10 kg. The service life of the device will depend on the number of things in the drum, since it directly affects the vibration during spinning.

It should also be borne in mind that we are talking about dry cotton linen... For example, woolen things absorb water more, so they will need to be put in a smaller machine. Also, do not forget about heavy and bulky things, such as outerwear, bedding. The washing class indicates the effectiveness of stain removal from various fabrics. There are 7 grades from A (the best) to G.

The spin class characterizes the moisture content of the laundry that remains after spinning. Also there are 7 classes from best A to worst G... It should be noted here that the spin speed affects the spin efficiency class, and for delicate items it is not always possible to use high rpm. The electricity consumption class gives an idea of ​​the electricity consumption from the average electricity consumption of the appliance. There are already 10 classes here, in addition to the initially better class A, they have also introduced even more effective A +, A ++ and A +++. Class G is still the worst.

It is also worth evaluating the indicators of water and energy consumption per cycle, as well as the noise level during washing and during spinning. Pay attention to the highest possible washing temperature if you want to be able to wash cotton and linen items at 90-95 degrees. As for the washing modes, the standard ones usually include programs according to the type of laundry (cotton, silk, wool), aimed at saving water and energy (eco modes), specialized (additional rinsing, steam cleaning) and maintenance of the device itself (self-cleaning). The manufacturer tries to make the purpose of the mode easy to understand from its name.

So, let's take a look at the characteristics of the best models of Samsung narrow washing machines.

The manufacturer notes among the advantages of this model the presence of an inverter motor, a Diamond drum, a convenient full-size hatch, steam wash, the Super Rinse + Eco and Quick wash functions. The machine is 60 cm wide, 45 cm deep and 85 cm high. Weight - 51 kg. Loading is 6 kg. The spinning revolutions are limited to 1000 per minute, which, however, is usually quite enough. Energy efficiency class - A. Spin efficiency class - C. Noise level during washing 52 dBA, while spinning - 76 dBA. Electricity consumption per cycle is 0.9 kWh, water consumption per cycle is 36 liters.

The rotary switch allows you to set the water temperature, type and spin speed, select options ("Super rinse +" "Intensive and Prewash"), "Soak to remove poorly removed dirt", set a delay (from 1 to 24 hours). Information is displayed on the LED screen. There are 12 standard modes. Among the options considered, this is the quietest machine with the lowest water and electricity consumption per cycle. At the same time, the load is the smallest here. There are no modes of intensive soaking, economical wash, washing of dark clothes, Smart Check function.

Samsung highlights in this model the presence of an EcoBubble bubble generator, an AquaProtect sensor, Volt Control, a special design of the tray for cleaning residues of detergents, a digital inverter motor warranty, which is 10 years, the presence of steam washing, the functions "Super rinse +", "Intensive soak" , Smart Check. Also noteworthy is the presence of the Swirl drum. Dimensions for the machine are the same as for the previous model - 60 x 85 x 45 cm. Weight 55 kg.

Loading is 8 kg. Spin speed - up to 1200 rpm. Energy efficiency class - A. Spin efficiency class B. Noise level during washing 57 dBA, during spinning - 73 dBA. Electricity consumption per cycle is 1.04 kWh, water consumption per cycle is 48 liters. On the touch panel, you can select a temperature from 20, 30, 40, 60, 90 degrees, spin, the number of rinses (from 1 to 5), options "Intensive Soak" and "Super Rinse +", set a delay. Information is displayed on the LED screen. There are 12 standard modes.

This is the most "sophisticated" machine among the considered. It is characterized by a different design, the presence of additional protection AquaProtect and Volt Control, the possibility of self-diagnostics Smart Check, the largest load of laundry, the least noise during spinning, the presence of a spin speed of 1200 rpm. At the same time, it consumes the most water and electricity, the noise during washing is the greatest, and the design and additional options cause a higher cost.

In this model, the manufacturer uses the options already familiar to us. This is the use of EcoBubble technology to reduce energy consumption (according to the company, you can wash it even in cold water). Reliability, low noise and energy efficiency of the inverter motor. Using the "Intensive bubble soak to remove stubborn dirt" function. Using a steam wash improves dirt removal by eliminating bacteria and allergens. The wide hatch makes loading easy. Super Rinse + removes any remaining detergent particles from the garment.
