How much does the Atlant washing machine weigh?

How much does the Atlant washing machine weigh? When choosing an Atlant washing machine, most buyers evaluate such characteristics of household appliances as dimensions, capacity and energy efficiency. This is necessary to understand whether the unit will fit into the planned location, how much clean laundry can be obtained in one wash cycle, and how many kilowatts of electricity will have to be paid for as a result of the work of the home assistant.

However, some consumers are interested in how much a washing machine weighs and make their choice after analyzing this data. Why is this information needed, since the installation of equipment most often does not provide for its subsequent movement, and where to look for it?

Where can I find the information I need?

It is very simple to obtain the data of interest - just open the technical data sheet of the product, which indicates all the operational characteristics of the household appliance. However, the seller is not always ready to provide the document the buyer is interested in, and the data in it may be indicated in a general way, for several similar models.

You can use information posted on the Internet. Online stores always describe in detail all the models of household appliances on display, and information is taken from technical data sheets or operating instructions. Here there are more chances to find the necessary data, but there is a risk of not finding a specific model of interest. read the instructions for SM Atlant

The most difficult thing is if you need to find out the weight of an Atlant washing machine that was purchased several years ago: data on previous models is archived or deleted. Finding a scanned copy with the required characteristics is almost impossible.You can focus on generalized data and information about the weight of similar or similar models.

Give preference to heavy models

Why is the weight of the Atlant washing machine so important? Today, buyers are striving to purchase a compact and small-sized “home assistant”, abandoning heavy and bulky household appliances. However, if you compare two models with similar technical characteristics, but differing in weight, the victory will go to the heavier model.

This is due to simple physics: as the drum rotates, it creates a centrifugal force that tends to push out the items placed in it for washing. The stronger the torque, the greater the load the unit body experiences, the higher its vibration and the less stability of the machine. And this is the main reason for a household appliance jumping around the room during operation. Accordingly, the greater the weight of the Atlant washing machine, the more stable it will behave during active engine operation, even at maximum drum load.

The advantages of “heavyweights” also include:

quieter operation;
low vibration level;
increased stability;
large capacity;
extended functionality.

Knowing how much a washing machine weighs is also important when building it into cabinet furniture: the cabinet must not only match the dimensions of the appliance, but must also be able to withstand the unit itself and the increased load during its active operation.

The weight of narrow washing machines is always greater than that of their standard “relatives,” since the manufacturer always compensates for the small support area with additional stability in the form of an extra 2-3 kg of weight of the household appliance.

Heavy household appliances should be chosen by those who are not planning on moving or major renovation work in the coming years. Once you set the machine in its place, you don’t move it for several years.

Are Atlant brand washing equipment heavy?

The average weight of Atlant washing machines is 60-65 kg, and the exact data is indicated in the technical data sheet of the specific model. The manufacturer's most popular models have the following characteristics:

ATLANT SMA 70U1010-10. A narrow and roomy machine designed to wash 7 kg of laundry in one cycle. Unit weight 62 kg, parameters 875x642x535 mm;
ATLANT SMA 60U107. Equipped with a self-diagnosis function and has an A++ energy efficiency class. Weight 62 kg, parameters 875x642x520 mm;
ATLANT SMA 70U1213-11. Laconic modern design and increased diameter of the loading opening. Weight 62 kg, parameters 875x642x535 mm;
ATLANT SMA 70U1214-11. The latest series of Atlant washing machines, including an expanded functional menu. Weight 62 kg, parameters 875x642x535 mm;
ATLANT SMA 75С1213-11. Loading capacity reaches 7.5 kg, energy efficiency class A+++, spin speed up to 1200 rpm. One of the heaviest machines in the manufacturer’s line: 66 kg with dimensions 875x642x610.

All Atlant washing machines, which are distinguished by their large unit weight, have advanced functions for loading and spinning. After all, greater weight ensures good stability and performance, which means that the buyer will be able to save on utility bills, because such a “home assistant” can accommodate more dirty laundry and will have to be washed much less often. Also, the increased load will make it possible to clean large items yourself: rugs, blankets, bedspreads, and this will allow you to save on laundry and dry cleaning services.
