Features of narrow washing machines
Today, many manufacturers offer interesting models of such compact devices. Among such brands are Bosch, Hotpoint-Ariston, Samsung, Aeg and others. famous brands. Some of them can wash over 5 kg of laundry at a time.
Such devices are divided into narrow and super-fast options. The depth of the first rarely exceeds 60 cm.In the second case, this figure may be only 33 cm.
We can say about the latter: despite the 33-centimeter restriction, there is full functionality in the typewriters. There is another classification that divides the devices. by download type:
- from horizontal;
- with vertical.
Pros and cons of narrow washing machines
So, the main advantage of such a device is its compactness. This option is very convenient for small apartments. There are other points that can motivate to purchase this device:
- The similar machine will perfectly fit into an interior of any room. For example, this technique can stand under the sink, the place under which is, as a rule, untapped. Or fill a little space to the wall. under the table top on the kitchen.
- A small device drum (for example, 33 cm) indicates that washing consumption will be minimal.
- Pleases and the cost: You can buy a machine from a well-known brand for a reasonable price (13 thousand rubles each), but the device is ready to accept up to 5 kg of linen.
- Range The proposed household appliances of this direction are wide enough so that the client can choose the model that is optimal for him (with both horizontal and front loading).
But, of course, there are shortcomings that everyone who wants to buy the device should know in advance:
- A small amount of linen, which can handle such a machine (technology is aimed at small families or single people). Most of the models presented are calculated by 3-3.5 kg. You should also forget about washing large items.
- Along with the laundry, some functions are curtailed. The device does not provide the necessary drying. However the presence of narrow washing machine with dryer - this is not such a necessary priority in modern conditions (on the contrary, wet laundry is easier to iron).
Vertical options for narrow washing machines
Vertical loading It turns out to be two steps ahead of the horizontal we are used to, thanks to the space saving when opening the lid and the ability to report on the laundry in the process itself. However, there is a small minus: such devices can no longer be placed under the sink. Here manufacturers offer us such options.
Candy
Washer Candy CTH 1076 famous for its combination of sizes and features. With a depth of just 40 cm, 5 kg of linen will fit into the tank (which can be added gradually).Many programs, modes and options for Candy are very easy to manage. Another bonus of this model is the ability to wash off contamination even in unheated water. The only problem for all Kandy devices is their service (the necessary parts are very difficult to find).
Ariston
Hotpoint-Ariston also offers several options for a narrow interpretation of the washing machine. For example, it turns out to be interesting MVTF 601 H C CIS from this brand: with a width of only 40 cm, it is capable of silently washing 6 kg of laundry. Hotpoint-Ariston MVTF 601 H C CIS has a lot of programs (18 pieces), but the washing of children's clothes and Aqua saver are especially interesting. The first, by rinsing, will remove all the residues of the detergent, in the second case, the Ariston technology has achieved the minimum consumption of water and electricity.
Bosch
At Bosch in the model WOT24255OE not only offered a large number required programs (up to the delicate cleaning of things made of wool and silk) - the device is also interesting with its minimum level of vibration. And this offer from Bosch will sustain up to 6.5 kg of loaded laundry.
AEG
Finally, the leader among similar-sized devices is a narrow washing machine. Aeg L 85470 SL (aeg), which holds up to 6 kg of linen. The dimensions of 40 cm will not affect the capabilities of such a device, which has excellent indicators of energy saving (class A +), 1200 rpm of spinning and all possible washing options. This technique from Aeg has inverter motor with soundproofing panels that helps her work record-breaking quietly.
Front Loading Devices
Under front loading the horizontal variant of laying the linen, through a round end door, is implied. It should be borne in mind that even in the case of the installation of this technology, for example, under the sink, it is necessary to provide a place for opening. Consider the most popular models.
Indesit
Dimensions Indesit IWUB 4105 are standard for this kind of devices - 60 x 33 x85 cm. At the same time, the drum indicator is close to the maximum - 4 kg (which makes it possible to exploit it to a family of four). And otherwise, Indesit tried to make a good device in all respects, which is capable of pressing at speeds up to 1000 rev / min, has many programs (from delicate wash before the possibility of pre-soaking).Devices from Indesit - it is always an excellent quality of work and guaranteed long-term operation of equipment. In addition to this model, Indesit offers the same: Indesit WIUN 81 and Indesit IWUC 4105, the depth of the devices does not exceed a level of 33 cm.
Ariston
The same amount of linen can accommodate the device from Hotpoint-Ariston ARUSL 105, but at the same time its depth indicators are only 33 cm. Despite 33 cm indicators, the machine perfectly squeezes out linen (the maximum speed reaches 1 thousand rev / min and this speed can be adjusted). Hotpoint-Ariston has other great features with which she can seriously compete with her full-sized counterparts: steam treatment, super-rinse, use of plenty of water, delicate wash and temperature choices. So 33 cm is not a reason to doubt the talents of the Hotpoint-Ariston device.
Atlant
Similar narrow variants are offered also by domestic manufacturers. The model also has the necessary functions. Atlant 35M101. With a depth of 33 cm, the Atlant 35M101 on the “5” will even wash sports shoes and clothing. In addition, it provides an express program and prewash. Another plus in favor of buying this particular device from 33 cm of depth is that it is very little noise.
LG
Narrow washing machine Lg F-1296SD3 models also has a depth of 36 cm, but at the same time the capacity reaches 4 kg. The spin speed is even higher than in the previous versions (up to 1200 r / min), and the energy consumption of class A + will save the family budget. However, the “offspring” of the LJ brand always has a high cost, which is justified by its excellent characteristics.
Bosch
We can not say about the manufacturer Bosch, which offers a model WLG 24060 40 cm deep. Similar parameters affected the device's capacity: the Bosch device will take up to 5 kg of linen, being under the sink, and also provide all the necessary functionality. Technology from Bosch is always a guarantee of quality and reliable operation (as is the case with this device).
Daewoo
To date, the narrowest washing model of the machine is the model Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701 PC. It can be installed on the wall and used at least every day. Such a super-little baby will hold only 3.5 kg of load, but at the same time things can be washed on any of the six programs.
Samsung
Samsung has something to offer - it's about the model WW4100K. At a depth of 45 cm, this device from Samsung is capable of holding 8 kg of linen (an incredible record among narrow devices). As well as the Samsung machine is able to do a deep cleaning of the fabric. using steam (it will not only remove dirt, but also destroy all harmful bacteria).Often, the user does not know when to clean the drum - in this case, Samsung uses technology Eco drum cleanwhich not only properly cleans the part, but also warns when it is time to do it. And this is not all the features and development of Samsung.
In the “battle” for every centimeter in the corner of the room, under the sink or even in the pantry room, in the possibilities of loading up to 5 kg and more, it is not so important which brand of the device will be chosen. The main thing is that the device meets all expectations and gives the benefit and comfort of its use.
