Which machine to choose?

If the dimensions of the room permit, it is better to give preference to a full-size machine. And for what reasons.

• The cost of a narrow machine compared with the full-sized above with other things being equal.
• The full-sized washing machine is more resistant to vibrations. Its drum allows you to load from 5 to 7 kg of laundry.

Important! Perhaps its only drawback is cumbersomeness. But such a machine is indispensable for a family of 5-7 people.

If you planned to install a styralka in the kitchen or in the corridor, you will have to stop the choice on a device of non-standard dimensions with a depth of 300 to 450 mm.

Important! The weight of one load of linen is 4.5 - 5.0 kg.

Small dimensions of compact machines allow them to be placed under the sink. Here are the dimensions of the washing machine-automatic of this type.

• Height - 660-700 mm.
• Depth - 430-350 mm.
• Width - 400-510 mm.

Important! The weight of laundry per load is 3 kg. The main advantage of such machines is that for small apartments and small family dormitories, a washing machine under a sink 60 cm high makes it possible to use the useful area more rationally.

If you plan to install a washing machine under the countertop of the kitchen table, choose a model with minimal vibration. An ordinary high-vibration stylalk can damage furniture. In addition, the tray for the detergent, even if it is fully extended, can be completely hidden by the counter top. In other words, the standard conventional styrene model is not designed for embedding.

What should I do before I buy?- Some useful tips for

Knowing the dimensions of washing machines, perform the following measurements before purchasing:

1. Measure the place where you are going to put the device. It is necessary that a small stock should be considered - at least a couple of centimeters.
2. Measure the width of all the doorways through which the stylalk is to be carried. This applies to the driveway, and entrance, and interior doors. If the width is clearly not enough, you will have to remove the jambs for a while.
3. In the bathroom and in the kitchen, make sure that the pipes do not interfere with the styralka.

Disadvantages of small washers

For small-sized apartment owners, compact units are the only option to solve the problem of placing household appliances. However, you need to clearly imagine what you are sacrificing by purchasing a small washing machine 70 cm high or less.

So, the disadvantages of small-sized washers are:

• The worst quality of washing compared to standard models.
• Worst spin quality compared to a full-sized machine( the reason is a smaller drum size).
• Less working time, less reliability.
• The weight of laundry per one bookmark is about 3.5 kg. Standard machines erase at a time from 5 to 11 kilograms of laundry. For a family of two people this is not critical, but for a large family it is notable.
• High cost.

To properly choose household appliances, it is important not to go blindly on the occasion of fashion. After all, the main goal is a good quality of washing. And this purchase is not for one day.
