Sizes of built-in washing machines

In our time, built-in household appliances have become almost the most popular, since many owners of city apartments are faced with a small square area and a lack of free space in the rooms. By installing a built-in device at home, you can significantly save a modest area, while making the environment more functional. It is very important to correctly choose a technique of this type, taking into account its dimensional parameters. In this article, we will find out what the dimensions of modern built-in washing machines are.

Given the exact dimensions of built-in washing machines, it will be easy to find a place for them.

Let's consider what are the standard dimensions of washing machines of various modifications.

Washing machines of this configuration are considered the most widespread today. They are produced in a variety of modifications. Not only standard, but also front-loading built-in models are popular.

There are examples that are ideal for further installation in a kitchen cabinet. These machines have the following standard dimensions:

• width - 60 cm;
• embedding depth - 55-60 cm;
• the height can be from 82 to 83 cm (but there are also higher specimens with a height of 90 cm).

In this case, the legs of the headset will come in handy, which can be independently adjusted in height - then the furniture can be adjusted to the height parameter of the front-loading washing machine.

The most common built-in models are models with the following standard parameters:

• 82x60x45;
• 60x40x85;
• 60x42x85;
• 60x 52 x85;
• 60x54x82;
• 60x55x82;
• 60x56x82;
• 60x58x83;
• 60x57x82.

Many branded built-in washing machines are produced in similar sizes. For example, it can be high-quality household appliances from Atlant, Indesit, Teka, Electrolux, Samsung, Hansa, Bosch and many others. Typically, the loading of such units varies from 4 to 8 kg. Larger capacity models are not so common. For example, the same options in which you can load 12 kg are most often free-standing, but not built-in.

Some users prefer to use top loading washing machines. It will not be possible to build such a technique under the countertop in the kitchen for obvious reasons - the laundry for washing is laid here on top, and not on the side, as in the units described above.

For a small room, such products are often more suitable, since they do not have a door., which takes up extra space when opened (albeit for a short time). Often top-loading washing machines are narrow and very compact, so there is almost always a free corner in the room for them.

These compact models are famous not only for their modest dimensions, but also for their affordable cost. If you don't want to overpay for an expensive front-loading machine, you can save money and pick up good top-loading equipment.

Small washing machines belonging to the category of narrow ones are in enviable demand nowadays. Such household appliances attract attention due to their modest dimensions and the ability to install them in almost any interior composition. A compact small-width washing machine will definitely not take away extra square meters and will not make the interior overloaded.

Modern narrow and ultra-narrow machines include those units whose depth does not exceed 35 or 40 cm. The height of the devices under consideration is usually standard. This technique can be easily and seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of kitchen sets. Often it is installed in the bathroom - each owner decides for himself where to allocate a place for a narrow model.

You can buy a good built-in type washing machine with non-standard parameters in home appliance stores or to order. A striking representative of this category - Daewoo DWC-CV703S model and its other modifications. This copy is produced with dimensions 55x32.4x65 cm. In terms of external characteristics, this unusual unit is more like a round drum without buttons, but with touch control. The capacity of the product is not the largest - only 3 kg.

A non-standard solution is to integrate an ordinary freestanding typewriter into the kitchen set. Usually, more compact units are chosen for this. In this case, the owners often have to order the headset itself so that household appliances can fit well into its device.

The built-in washing machine must be selected as carefully as possible. Often, such a technique is expensive and the wrong choice can “hurt” the wallet. Let's consider in detail what you need to consider when looking for a suitable model.

• Initially choose a place to build a future purchase. After that, it will need to be measured with a tape measure in 3 dimensions. A small margin of about 6 cm must be provided on each side to accommodate the connected hoses.
• It is important to make sure that the household appliances in question will pass safely through the doorway. If it suddenly turns out that even a small car cannot be brought into the room, you can remove the jambs for a while - this often becomes a simple solution to the problem.
• If you want to purchase a washing machine that will later be built into the kitchen work surface (sink or countertop), then it is best to select small specimens of moderate height (no more than 80 cm) and front-loading. In this case, it will not work to use horizontal devices - access to the upper part of the equipment will be closed.
• The smaller the washing machine, the smaller the drum. This means that the internal volume will not be too large. If you dream of purchasing a multifunctional model equipped with a dryer, then it is better to find a suitable full-size version with a more spacious drum.
• Pay attention to the functionality that a technique of suitable dimensions has. It is better to decide in advance what options you really need and useful, so as not to rush to grab an expensive model with a lot of functions that will never be useful to you.
• The design of the selected equipment should not be underestimated, even if it has a compact size.The built-in machine must harmoniously fit into the already formed interior, especially if it is not completely hidden in the furniture structure (for example, it will be displayed in a niche). You can find an option that will be designed in the same color and style as the rest of the appliances (stove, microwave, oven) in the kitchen.
• It is important to inspect the equipment as carefully as possible. It must be assembled "conscientiously". There should be no gaps or backlash in the structure. You should not notice scratches, chips or rusty spots on the unit body. If you nevertheless noticed those, it is better to look for another model.
• Built-in appliances are represented today in a rich assortment, but the best, high-quality and reliable ones are undoubtedly branded models. Some of them can be very expensive, but such copies not only serve for a long time and without problems, but also perfectly cope with all the tasks assigned to them.
• For the purchase of high-quality household appliances, it is better to go to a trusted store. In retail outlets that have made a name for themselves and a brilliant reputation, you can buy the device you need with a manufacturer's warranty. Do not look for too cheap options in questionable shops - here you run the risk of running into a defective item, which will be very difficult to change later.
