Today it is difficult to imagine your life without home helpers - a refrigerator, a food processor, air conditioning, etc. However, many useful appliances need room. Modern apartments often do not have the ability to accommodate full-sized units. However, manufacturers took care of their consumers and began to produce complete smaller appliances. Such units include a narrow washing machine. Let's consider it in more detail.
Features
What is the difference between a narrow washing machine and its “standard” sister? The "thin", as you might guess by the name, have a smaller depth - from 32 to 45 cm. How do such models differ from full-length counterparts? Neither by the number of programs, nor by loading, nor by the quality of washing there are big differences. At the same time, the reduced dimensions, namely the depth, make it possible to carry out a compact installation of such a machine in the bathroom or small kitchen. The height and width of the units remains the same - 85 cm and 60 cm, respectively.
What does a washing machine look narrow? Depending on the model, it may have frontal or vertical loading. The task of the hostess who wants to purchase a similar unit is only to decide which option suits her.
Choose the right one
Often a "thin" washing machine is purchased by single people or a small (2-3 people) family.
Before buying a home assistant, decide what type of download you need - it can be frontal or vertical. In the first option, you should worry about free access to the unit, otherwise there will be inevitable inconvenience when removing linen. For models with top loading, there is no such problem, however, they cannot be used additionally, for example, as a bedside table.
The functionality of narrow machines, as already mentioned, is not inferior to full-size devices, however, the cost of “babies”, due to technical features, will be slightly higher. Sometimes you need to put the machine under the countertop or sink. Manufacturers have taken care of this. Today, the built-in frontal washing machine - narrow, but at the same time convenient and practical - fits organically into any interior.
Interesting
The narrowest washing machine is under the Atlas CMA 35M102 brand. She really can boast of her depth - 32.8 cm. The miniature size of this model does not prevent her from “managing” with 3.5 kg of laundry with the help of 15 programs, the machine has a delay in starting and other features.
Major manufacturers
Among the most famous foreign brands can be noted such as “Zanussi”, “Samsung”, “Bosch”, “Ardo”, etc. But some units, for example, narrow washing machines 33 cm deep, are produced by domestic industry - this is “Indesit IWUB 4105. " These devices are produced in Lipetsk. There is also a factory in the city of Kirzhach, producing home "helpers" under the brand name "Veko".
Summing up, it should be said that a miniature washing machine is a real find and a gift for those who want to live comfortably and keep up to date. It will not only help to cope with the time-consuming process of washing, but also will decorate and “modernize” your apartment.
