Small washing machines - review

Small washing machines have become very popular in recent years. This is not surprising, because not every apartment has room for standard dimensions, but this item is simply irreplaceable in any home.

Let's consider the Renova WS - 15 T model. It can handle 1.5 kg of laundry in one wash, and its weight is only 5 kg. The manufacturers have clearly designed a record-breaking model in terms of the ratio of the weight of the laundry and the device itself. Mini washing machines with semi-automatic spins will never be able to please you as much as automatic machines do. Let's try to understand such products as mini automatic washing machines.

Story

In 2013, Chanhee Hana created a product that can rightfully be called a record! The smallest automatic washing machine that can perform steam ironing. It was called Solo because it can only hold one thing.

Such a machine can easily be hung on the wall and in appearance it is completely different from an ordinary washing machine. Its size is approximately 40 cm in length and 13 cm in height, there is no need for water supply. An automatic washing machine with such a small size definitely impressed the entire population of the country.

Under-sink washing machines

Compact front-loading washing machines are easy to install under sinks or in kitchen cabinets. This way we get saved space in the kitchen interior and a “workhorse” that will serve faithfully for many years. As for sizes, you can find models starting from 67 cm on sale.

It is probably reasonable to say that Europe and America are famous for their technology functionality.Therefore, it is most likely that the mini washing machine is installed not under the sink, but behind a stylish cabinet door. This can be confirmed by the presence of countertops with a sink for a washing machine.

As a result, mini automatic washing machines are perfectly located in the cabinet sections under the sinks. If we talk about domestic manufacturers, then the Water Lily sink is a good option; for these models, the drain is located in the far corner. And this perfectly resolves all communications issues for a small washing machine under the hand wash.
There are other sink options that are perfect for washing machines.

There is one important detail to consider when installing:

The corrugated hose should not be bent at an acute angle, as this can lead to some unpleasant consequences.

Regular and built-in

Built-in appliances must be designed in such a way that they are beautiful, match the style of the room, or are hidden behind a cabinet door. The product should also be easy to access.

What household appliances of this type are available in stores:

• in stores you may come across a mini washing machine measuring 67 - 70 cm (sink option);
• and a compact washing machine measuring 82 cm, which can be easily mounted into furniture and follows its contours.

The latter model is often made with a door that hides the drum from view. With such a door, the machine is built into a furniture set and becomes a harmonious piece of furniture. There is also an option when the front panel is part of the surface of the cabinet - it is visible, but it looks very aesthetically pleasing.

It is worth noting that sometimes you can find a machine with a depth of only 55 cm; they are also called a narrow model.Such products are also in demand in the modern world.

Small washing machines save space in the apartment

It is not necessary to purchase a small machine model in order to integrate it into furniture. In small apartments, in small houses, when there is a small bathroom, people prefer to use ordinary non-built-in household appliances. Moreover, if the family is not large, then there is often simply no need for large-sized devices.

People often buy compact top-loading washing machines because in many ways this device is more convenient. In families with small children, it is especially recommended to consider the option with vertical loading. Children don’t go there and there are always fewer such troubles.

Let's sum it up

The washing machine is a great helper in the home and takes up little space. It can be built into furniture or installed under a hand basin. It all depends on the ability to connect all the necessary communications in this place.

It also has a drawback, which is its expensive price. Installation of such models occurs in a limited space and therefore sometimes causes difficulties. The fact is that such built-in appliances cannot be pushed on wheels, as, for example, happens with dishwashers. This is logical, because during spinning the machine operates at high speeds and there is vibration.

A built-in washing machine has a number of advantages:

• she is not an eyesore. She is completely invisible to guests and household members;
• children do not disturb the machine during washing;
• animals do not chew through hoses;
• The main advantage is aesthetics and maintaining comfort in the apartment.

An automatic machine is simply an indispensable assistant in every family. Of course, the person himself chooses which option is suitable for his home conditions.
