A washing machine is a must in every home.

For those who value free space in an apartment, modern manufacturers offer narrow washing machines, the width of which reaches a maximum of 40 cm. Such models, of course, attract more and more attention of buyers, because they are as good as full-size clippers in their built-in functions, but take up less space in any room.

Narrow washing machines, as a solution for small-sized premises, have a number of features. First of all, it is their size. Washing machines from 33 to 40 cm wide can fit almost anywhere. A kitchen or bathroom is great for this. The washing machine can be placed under the counter in the kitchen or under the sink in the bathroom. The design of the front-loading machine allows this arrangement.

Small-sized home appliances will also delight buyers with their low cost. Most of the narrow horizontal loading washing machines are in the low and medium price segments. The main manufacturers offering such options are have long established themselves only on the good side... Of course, when choosing, this is also worth paying attention to.

The simple and ergonomic design will allow the appliance to fit into any kitchen or bathroom design. The choice of colors is not very large, however, from such possible options as white, silver metallic, dark gray, anyone can choose something to their liking.

Despite the popular belief that narrow washing machines have limited functionality, manufacturers offer washing machines with both a minimum set of programs and an extended one. Obviously, options with a minimum set of functions will be quite inexpensive, which means that they will be available to everyone.

Considering the size as the main feature of the models, do not underestimate such "washing machines". Manufacturers offer small-sized machines with good software and additional features. Additional functions include: steam washing, drying clothes, economical washing with low water consumption, quick wash from 15 to 20 minutes, a special mode for sports, baby clothes and much more.

Obviously, the main function of a washing machine is to wash the laundry. Different modes allow you to wash things with high quality without damaging the color and without damaging the fabric. It should be noted that regardless of the mode, the temperature and the number of revolutions can be manually adjusted to achieve the maximum effect. Temperature modes vary from 30 to 90 degrees, where 90 degrees is suitable exclusively for washing cotton.

Thinner, synthetic fabrics can deform at such high temperatures. The number of revolutions is also matched to the fabric: the thinner the fabric, the fewer the revolutions. Mostly modes are directly related to the type of fabric, but there are also special ones.

Modern household laundry appliances can have the following washing programs.

1. Synthetics.
2. Cotton.
3. Delicate (hand) wash.
4. Colored linen.
5. Sports items.
6. Wool, silk.

All of the above indicators can directly affect cost, service life and, most importantly, clothing. It is worth choosing solely taking into account individual preferences, but advice on choosing will not hurt.

2. Choose a suitable installation location before purchasing, this decision will be reflected in the exact dimensions.
3. Don't overpay for a brand at the expense of features. For example, some well-known brands charge too high a price for additional features, while newer Chinese brands offer them cheaper with the same quality.
