How much does a top loading washing machine weigh?

How much does a top loading washing machine weigh? Experienced housewives, when looking for a new washing machine, will not opt for lightweight models. Most often, buyers pay attention to machines weighing at least 60 kg. Why is it so important how much SMA weighs? Let's look into the nuances.

Minimum and maximum weight of the “vertical”

In fact, the weight of a vertical washing machine is a very important indicator that you should definitely pay attention to. The heavier the washing machine, the less it vibrates and makes noise during operation. Lightweight machines often “jump” around the room during the spin process. This not only causes inconvenience to family members, but also contributes to premature wear and tear of equipment.

The average weight of top-loading washing machines is 56-58 kg.

How much an automatic machine weighs depends on a number of factors. Firstly, its capacity. Secondly, from the material from which the tank is made. Models with a plastic container are lighter than washing machines with a stainless steel container.

For a better understanding, we will give specific examples. Let's see what weight automatic top-loading machines of different brands have.
