Overview of Low Washers

If there is not enough space for a standard washing machine, then in this case you need to think about a small machine. Such a machine can not only be placed in a small kitchen, but also put in the bathroom. Models of low cars are not so few. But what can be called a low machine, what are its features, what brand are such cars? We will answer these questions.

Dimensions

The dimensions of a standard automatic washing machine are approximately the following: a depth of 60 cm, a width of 60 cm and a height of 82-85 cm. There are narrower machines with a depth of 37-55 cm, at the same height. But sometimes this is too much, we need a model with even smaller dimensions. Such dimensions are washing machines designed for installation under the sink.

The height of such a machine is 60-70 cm, depth 29-54 cm, width 46-60 cm.

Below washing machines simply does not exist, unless it is a semiautomatic device or activator type machines. But we will not take them into account, most readers are interested in modern technology.

Features

Low washing machines usually require installation under the sink, on the one hand this is a big plus, which consists in saving space. But on the other hand, the installation features and dimensions determine a number of disadvantages:

• have a small load, a maximum of 4 kg of laundry;
• a special sink is needed for installation above the machine; such a sink is called a "water lily";
• a special siphon is required;
• spin quality is lower than in full-size machines, even at the same speed;
• low cars inferior in reliability and durability;
• have a high price.

The minuses are very serious, so before you decide on such a machine, you need to think carefully, maybe still there is a place for a higher washing machine.
