What is the depth of a washing machine?

What is the depth of the washing machineThe description of a washing machine on a website on the Internet or on the price tag in a store always indicates the dimensions of its body. While it is clear to buyers how to measure the height and width, some have questions regarding depth. Therefore, let’s figure out what this parameter is and how important it is.

Measuring machine depth

In general, the depth of a washing machine is the distance from the front to the back of the cabinet. The measurement is performed precisely along the side wall. However, there are also some nuances here - you need to apply the tape measure to the most protruding parts of the machine, front and back.

How is the measurement performed? To correctly determine the depth of the cabinet, record the distance from the most protruding front part (usually the door handle) to the most “convex” place at the back. This is necessary so as not to make a mistake with the size of the machine, and not to count on smaller dimensions than they actually will be.

Protrusions often play a big role when installing a washing machine, so body measurements must be taken taking them into account.

For example, imagine a family is planning to install a full-size washing machine in a newly renovated bathroom. When the doorway is very narrow, say 50 cm, then new equipment simply will not fit through it. This means that you will have to remove the door, remove the jambs and bring in the machine gun. In order not to strain, it is better to immediately measure the depth of the case to the millimeter.how to measure a machine correctly

Many will say that you can unscrew the hatch, bring in the washing machine and put it back. However, removing the machine door will already be considered disassembling the body. Therefore, the manufacturer's warranty will expire immediately.

Now it’s clear what the hull depth indicator means.It is especially important when the equipment is planned to be built into a niche or kitchen unit. Let's talk about three proven machines offered on the market, which are highly rated by users. Let's look at their dimensions and functionality.
