The washing machine is no surprise. They are very different, and many manufacturers are engaged in their release. A washing machine with a vertical load is an excellent option for a small room, after all, its width usually is 40-45 centimeters. It will be appropriate not only in a small apartment, but also for those people who want as much free space in their homes, and not clutter it with objects, albeit much needed. Consider all options, which can be a washing machine with vertical loading and how to choose it correctly.
to content ↑Dimensions
The height of standard verticals is 90 cm, width - 40 cm, depth - 60 cm. In some models the height can be from 65 centimeters.
This device perfectly fits in the corner, as the hatch opens freely and with a small space. This characteristic is very important for apartments with a small bathroom, in which the full-sized machine can not physically fit.
However, despite the fact that washing machines with vertical loading are very small, it can not be built into the kitchen set. And as a nightstand such an aggregate can not be used in any way, because the opening of the door goes up. It is most convenient to unload linen from models in which the hatch reclines not less than 120 degrees.
Important! Stylals with vertical loading are not only smaller than external dimensions, but also the volume of the drum. But still, on average, you can load it into 4-7 kg of laundry.
to content ↑Advantages:
- Of course, a washing machine with vertical loading is the best option for people with spinal problems or for an elderly person. In order to download a similar technique, do not bend over.
- Plus we have already discussed the small dimensions and the possibility of placing such an assembly even in a corner, close to the wall.
Important! A machine with a vertical load can be stopped during the execution of the program and added forgotten things. Do not drain the water. It should be taken into account that the washing cycle must be initial.
Cons:
- Vertical machines are not equipped with additional rubber seals, since they do not have a plastic or glass hatch cover. Of course, this is a big advantage, as replacing the rubber ring means to spend money. And even more money will have to be spent, if suddenly glass accidentally breaks.
- The biggest drawback of the vertical model is the more expensive purchase and maintenance. In addition, in many models, you can not disassemble the container for detergent, so it is difficult to wash it.
Important! Machines with vertical loading differ by a small hole for the laying of laundry. That's why problems can arise with overalls: blankets, soft toys.
Features:
- Of course, the main feature is the layout of the hatch. Unlike the front loading units, the hatch is located on top, not on the side. This is its advantage in the presence of a small room, where there is nowhere to open the door.
- Washing machines narrow width of 40 cm with vertical loading differ in fewer modes. The fulfillment of all processes is automatic: the water is poured, drained, heated, the laundry is soaked, washed, rinsed, wrung out and dried.
Important! If we compare the technical equipment of these two versions of the washing units, the main difference is the arrangement of the bearings with respect to the drum. In case of front loading, the place of their placement is the rear part, and from the frontal side - the side parts. Therefore, the latter are equipped with two bearing assemblies. Experts believe that this makes the unit more reliable in operation.
to the contents ↑Capacity:
- Such home helpers can be supercompact. The minimum width is only 40 cm. Some models may be more bulky.
- These are units of activator type, which are placed in premises with a large area. Their depth is almost 70 cm and the width is 72 cm.
- In some models, the height can be very small - up to 70 cm, and in some - more than a meter.
- Such washing machines have a standard load capacity. One load holds 6-7 kg of laundry. In some cases, this figure is 4-5 kg.
Important! Stiralka activator type is capable for one cycle to wash more than ten kilograms of laundry.
to the contents ↑Types of control panels
Before selecting which washing machine with vertical loading you need, pay attention to the type of their control. It can be:
- Electronic. Such machines are equipped with an electronic programmer( electronic control panel).From the hostess there is enough a choice of the program, and adjustment of all rest is given to the stylalke.
- Mechanical. In this case, all wash parameters must be set manually. Switches are used to adjust the washing mode, water temperature and spin speed.
- Electron-mechanical. In this case, the variants listed above are combined. In such units there is an electronic panel and keys, with the help of which it is possible to select additional parameters.
Important! Vertical washing machines are distinguished by a more compact control panel, the location of which is a small elevation behind the lid. This elevation comes with a slight slope, so the panel is clearly visible. In some models, it is possible to position the control panel in front of the hatch.
to content ↑Functionality of
Some buyers are sure that because of the small size of the control panel in "verticals" they are less effective. In fact, in this case, additional functions and all modes also work. In reality, in machines with such a panel, electronic-mechanical control with additional programming is most often implemented.
Washing
Most often in vertical washing machines there is a standard set of programs designed for washing:
- Cotton;
- Wool;
- Synthetics;
- Thin fabrics.
In addition, they are equipped with additional programs:
- Delicate and hand-wash;
- Additional rinse;
- Preliminary wash;
- Easy ironing.
This set of functions is exactly the same as with popular front-loading washing machines. In this case, the control panel just looks different. 
Modes of spinning and drying
Of course, a good housewife is interested in not only the washing schedule, but the maximum spin speed, as well as drying.
Vertical washing machines are characterized by such design that in them the spinning process is easier than in the front. Vertical can never spin at a high speed of 1800 or 2000 revolutions. The highest speed is 1400 revolutions. But in practice it is known that even such a speed is sufficient for a good spin.
Important! The change in speed in a vertical washing machine takes place in steps of 100 revolutions, and in the front washing machine, 200 turns.
Drying in such models is quite a rare phenomenon. But if they dry such models, then evenly. But the total weight of the laundry should not exceed 2.5 kilograms.
Important! The cost of washing machines with vertical loading, in which there is a drying regime, is almost twice as high as that of models without it.
to the contents ↑Protection and self-diagnosis
Almost all modern models have leakage protection. It is clear that insurance for this case still exists, but we will consider in more detail how it works.
Washing machines usually incorporate a security system that matches the brand. That is, it will be the same for both the vertical and the frontal. But here the difference arises in the security system:
- For units with vertical loading, protection is most often carried out on the housing. For this partial protection, double hoses are used, on which automatic shut-off valves are installed.
- In addition, it is possible to use a float in the pallet, which closes the contacts in the drain pump. If the machine has full protection, it means - it is equipped with both these components, water monitoring sensors and filler valve sensors.
- Some washing machines have a built-in self-diagnosis system, thanks to which you can find out why the machine stopped working.
Important! Such a system is equipped with washing machines with vertical loading, in which there is a display where the code of the cause of the malfunction is displayed.
to content ↑New
technology It seems that washing machines with vertical loading have a fairly simple device, but innovative technologies are introduced in them. Some models come with:
- Brushless inverter motor. His work is much quieter, you can use more accurate programs. In addition, the life of the device is extended.
- Asynchronous motor. Its design is simpler, but it is very reliable. In addition, it is equipped with acoustic panels that reduce noise.
- Direct drive motor. It features compact dimensions, low noise and vibration. In addition, with a lower power consumption, its work is more efficient.
- Steam generator. Thanks to it, the laundry is treated with steam, the fiber is expanded and care is facilitated.
- Powder dispenser. With its help you can determine the required amount of funds.
