creativecommons.org

Nowadays it is difficult to imagine your life without a washing machine. The technology market has long been overcrowded with different models and brands to suit every taste and budget. Automatic washing machines are presented to customers in various forms and models, with different technical equipment and performance, and in different price categories. When choosing a washing machine for an apartment, buyers often pay attention to compactness and dimensions, namely height, width and depth, since such a machine can be placed not only in the bathroom or kitchen, but even placed under the sink. In addition, the article presents a rating of small-sized washing machines and their technical characteristics.

An automatic washing machine can be called small-sized if its dimensions are smaller than standard ones. The height of such machines ranges from 65-70 cm, width – 45-55 cm, depth – 40-50 cm. The load capacity of laundry is on average from 5 to 6 kg. Thus, a small-sized automatic machine is ideal for a family of 2-3 people.

Advantages

• Compact dimensions allow you to install a small-sized automatic machine in almost any corner of the apartment.
• Despite their small size, such washing machines are in no way inferior in quality to their “larger” competitors.
• Small-sized automatic washing machines have lower water and energy consumption, which can significantly save your budget.

Flaws

Due to close placement, in some cases the parts of such a washing machine may wear out faster.

Small washing machines do not have a counterweight, so they may produce loud vibrations during operation.

Not suitable for large families due to the relatively small load of up to 6 kg, unlike conventional washing machines, where the load ranges up to 8 kg.

Some models of small-sized automatic washing machines are quite expensive. There are not many small-sized machines on the equipment market, so manufacturers often inflate the price.
