Features of compact washing machines

Washing machines, characterized by compactness and functionality, as well as vertical or frontal placement of linen, today are very popular among buyers. These are automatic models that allow you to perfectly save space in the room - in the bathroom or in the kitchen. Usually they are mounted there.

The main reason for their popularity was the small size of apartments in which a decent proportion of the population lives. The standard model there takes up too much space. And manufacturers, given this fact, release such miniature washing machines and try to give them the maximum possible number of functions.

The leading position among European manufacturers is occupied by the Swiss concern Eurosoba. He has long established the successful production and export of his mini washing machines. Users evaluate its products as the most reliable and durable. In these models, the tank and drum are made of metal, the shock absorber is of the highest quality, electronics and mechanics are characterized by stability. All this equipment is produced at one enterprise in Switzerland. It thoroughly goes through all the necessary assembly stages.

Since this year, all these Swiss cars have acquired a developed load of 4 kg. The previous figure is 3.5 kg. And the warranty period indicated by the manufacturer today reaches 3 years. We will talk more about these models in the section on popular brands.

Strengths and weaknesses of compact models

Such models should be characterized by decent quality of washing: no worse than with large devices. In their equipment there is a complete set of options, the same washing modes of different fabrics. And in terms of functionality, they have few differences from standard machines.

And the main advantages of compact versions are:

1. Solid space savings. Indeed, the height of the model reaches a maximum of 70 cm.
2. Models are easily placed in apartments with outdated or non-standard layout.
3. They are placed without special problems under the countertop or sink.
4. They economically consume resources (electricity and water). Reason: their drum holds less clothes (about 3-5 kg). A large model includes up to 6-8 kg of things.

And their weaknesses are as follows:

1. Quite a modest assortment in the market. Reason: famous manufacturers produce such modifications much less. And they often overstate the cost.
2. The impossibility of laying an impressive volume of things, because the drum of the device no longer allows.

Compact modifications are often purchased by small families, as well as by everyone who wants to save money on household resources.

Criteria for choosing such models

Small-sized products of modern manufacturers are equipped with a full set of required options. From this, the category and price of a certain modification are determined.

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a compact automatic version, you must follow these criteria:

Modification and type of loading

Washing machine should optimally fit across the entire spectrum of indicators and fit into the available space. For this reason, before going to the store, decide where the device will be mounted: in a place in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Or maybe it will be located separately from other things and furniture.

You also need to decide which download suits you best. She may be vertical or frontal. The second type is more common. It is chosen by those owners who mount the machine under the attribute of furniture or a sink.

The first type is more complex installation. However, it contains large volumes of things.

Loading parameter and drum type

The boot option is very important in compact models. In the standard compact version, it reaches 3-5 kg. Small families or those who live alone are quite happy with this volume.

An important aspect is the material of the drum. Which option is preferable? Two solutions are considered the best:

1. Stainless steel.
2. Composites

Thanks to them, the tank can be operated for a very long period. And the depth of the drum allows you to install any mini-machine even in the smallest bathroom.

Dimensions

Any small model in height can be:

1. 67-70 cm. Designed for cabinets or sinks.
2. 82 cm. Suitable for installation in cabinet spaces.

The most important size criterion is depth. Most often they buy specially less than 55 cm.

Management method

According to this criterion, compact modifications are divided into two types: mechanics or electrics.

To work with the first, you just need to hold the controller knob on the necessary program, and then start the work. This type of control is convenient and provides a solid range of features.

Costly versions of mini spin washing machines with front loading, they themselves can determine the mass of linen, the necessary proportion of detergents for washing, set the temperature, the method of extraction and rinsing, based on the type of fabrics and linen.

By type of embedding

Only two criteria (again, height):

1. Under the furniture in the bathroom.
2. For cabinets or cabinet furniture.

Embedded Machines in height they have a criterion from 67 to 82 cm. Why is this so? Everything is thought out under the free wasteland in the house. And there are also two types:

1. With a cap. Such a technique can be installed in any section where there is no bottom.
2. Mini-versions of washing machines with front panels form the front of a rack, cabinet or cabinet.
