The smallest depth of an automatic washing machine

The smallest depth of an automatic washing machineIn small apartments, due to lack of space, washing machines are most often installed in the bathroom. But there is not much free space near the plumbing fixtures, which, coupled with narrow doorways, forces us to abandon full-size machines in favor of compact ones. We are talking about washing machines with a small depth.

Narrow machines are available in different sizes, and the minimum depth of a washing machine starts from 33 cm. Let’s consider the advantages and disadvantages of such equipment, as well as the top “small” models.

Advantages and disadvantages of narrow machines

Previously, it was believed that narrow washing machines were much inferior to their full-size “colleagues” in functionality and capacity. The explanation is simple: the smaller the body of the equipment, the poorer its “filling”. But in reality this is far from the case. Modern technologies make it possible to solve the issue of compactness without compromising the power and capabilities of the machine.

Narrow washing machines include machines with a cabinet depth from 33 to 59 cm.

Modern narrow machines have wide drums, thanks to which they can hold up to 7 kg of laundry. This maximum load is quite enough for a family of 3-4 people. There will be no problems with “large” washing - outerwear, pillows and blankets can be easily washed in a large cylinder. At the same time, the rest of the functionality of full-size washing machines is preserved:A narrow machine won’t fit a lot of laundry
