Candy washing machine under the sink

In a small bathroom I really want to install a washing machine under the sink. There, the equipment will not hurt anyone and there will still be enough space for mounting other useful interior items. The problem is that not every machine will go under the sink in height. In this regard, you can pay attention to the low Kandy washing machines for 4 kg of laundry. They enter under the sink "like a glove," and it is about them that we will talk today.

What should be the technique?

Many would like to put the washing machine under the sink in the bathroom, but there is a serious obstacle - the size of the washer. A standard front-loading washing machine has:

• height about 85 cm;
• depth of about 60 cm;
• 60-70 cm wide.

According to the rules, the sink located on top must completely cover the body of the washing machine and, moreover, it should protrude 5 cm in front. What sink is capable of covering such a large machine? It will not be a sink, but a whole bath.

The main problem is not even that, although it is important. The height of a standard front-loading machine is too high. It can reach 85-90 cm. We add a gap of 1 cm and a height of the shell on average 15 cm, which we get. And we get a sink at a decent height of 85 + 1+ 15 = 101 cm from the floor, and the mixer will be even higher.

For adults of small stature, the sink will be too high, and it will not be accessible to children at all.

It seems that it is impossible to put a standard washing machine under the sink, but what to do? The answer to this question is obvious, you need to choose a washing machine that will be smaller and will fit well under the sink. There are special Kandy cars under the sink. The manufacturer specially equipped them with reduced dimensions, so that they are more suitable for our purpose. Let's look at them as part of our short review.

Overview of the best models for the sink

Everyone knows thatwashing machines Candy are different, but we know for sure that the manufacturer tried to ensure that his technique was not only diverse, but also functional. Knowing about the new fashion to install washers under the sink, the manufacturer responded with new models of "home helpers". We draw your attention to the following models of Kandy washers:

1. Candy Aqua 1D 835-07;
2. Candy Aqua 1D 1035-07;
3. Candy Aqua 2D 1040-07;
4. Candy Aqua 2D 1140-07.

Judging by the name, the difference between these models is not significant, but if you look at the characteristics, and then at the price, the difference will be noticeable. Let's do a little review on these models.

Candy Aqua 1D 835-07. The wash is designed for 3.5 kg of laundry. It does not have a display and wring out laundry at a maximum of 800 rpm. The model is frankly outdated by its characteristics, and besides, it is noisy, but the machine has an attractive price of $ 270. Dimensions of equipment W x D x H - 51 x 46.4 x 70 cm.

Candy Aqua 1D 1035-07. Slightly more advanced washing machine. It, like the previous model, holds 3.5 kg of laundry, while it is able to spin at speeds up to 1000 rpm. The equipment has a delayed start function and electronic control. The dimensions of the machine are exactly the same as the above model. The average cost is $ 266.

Candy Aqua 2D 1040-07. And this is the next generation Kandy Aqua. This machine has a display, can accommodate not 3.5, but 4 kg of laundry. A slight increase, but still. Spin up to 1000 revolutions and still compact dimensions W x D x H - 51 x 46.4 x 70 cm. Price - 395 dollars.

Candy Aqua 2D 1140-07. Development of the 2D 1040 series. The manufacturer tried to provide the model with additional functions while maintaining its original size. There is a display, modern electronic control and a drum holding up to 4 kg of laundry. The technique is equipped with protection against child intervention, a delayed start timer and a program for washing “capricious” fabrics. The spin speed increased to 1100 rpm. Cost - 370 dollars.

A common disadvantage of Candy Aqua washing machines is their low weight. The body simply did not include additional balances that made the equipment stable and less noisy. As a result, the machine, while spinning at high speeds, starts to bounce and rattle violently. The real noise level reaches 80 dB - this is a real “hello to neighbors”! Although it should be noted that according to the instructions, the noise level does not exceed 76 dB. The manufacturer deceives a little.

To summarize, we note that many buy a machine with a sink in the kit and, in principle, do it right, because it can be difficult to select equipment separately. Fortunately, manufacturers of elite water lily shells have already orientated themselves and offer customers such a useful kit. Good luck
