Choosing a washing machine
There are about 10 well-known companies that offer narrow automatic washing machines of good quality in various price categories. And about the same number of little-known brands.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a narrow washing machine? Washing machines 30 cm wide come in two types: vertical and front loading. Most people prefer the second option.
However, in order for it to last for more than one year, you should pay attention not to the appearance, but to the characteristics. The most important quality indicator is the “class” of the machine. Divided from "A" to "G". Class A cars are the highest quality and most reliable, but their price is usually not low. Class A washing machines wash clothes gently and save energy. They have an excellent spin cycle. The bulk of washing machines on the market are “A” and “B” and very few are economy class “C”.
Pay attention to the material the washing machine tank is made of, the service life depends on this.
Let's look at the most common brands and models of narrow washing machines, automatic 32 cm
Choosing a washing machine
If you cannot choose which washing machine is best to buy, then make a small list of requirements that will help eliminate unsuitable options. If you need to place the washing machine in a table or cabinet, then the front-loading type is ideal. Thanks to this, the machine can be easily built in, but you need to take into account the distance to which the hatch opens. If you have free space in the bathroom or empty corners in the room, then vertical loading is more suitable.
Many people think that top-loading washing machines do not have the ability to spin clothes, but this is not true. This function is present in machines with a vertical loading type, but it works much worse than with front-loading ones.
Previously, narrow 35 cm washing machines were produced by Samsung, but over the last decade their equipment has no width or loading depth of less than 40 cm. Typical representatives of this brand have a height of more than 80 cm, a width of 55 cm and a loading depth of 40-45 cm and above.
