Standard height
The standard height of an automatic washing machine is 850 mm. Many consumers ask where this size came from when creating the washing machine. Why, for example, not 800 or 900 mm?
Just 850 mm, this is the standard kitchen countertop height, which is designed taking into account the ergonomics of the average person. It is during this positioning of the arms and torso that the load when preparing food is minimal.
That is, an automatic machine with a height of 850 mm will easily stand level without protruding beyond the standard dimensions of the table top.
Naturally, if the washing machine is placed in the bathroom, then this indicator does not play a big role. But, having chosen a model with a top stack of laundry, you need to make sure that the tank lid can be easily opened and the cabinets will not interfere.
An example of a washing machine with this height is the Ariston ARSL103 model.

GREAT SPIN
Accordingly, there is a large spread in the spin class (it shows how many percent of moisture is retained in things after spinning at maximum speed). There is no maximum class A among our devices, class B is the best option, it is not so rare (about a quarter of models), for example, Gorenje W6843L/S (44 cm), Bosch WLG 24160 (45 cm), Samsung WF1602WCC ( 45 cm), etc.
Class C, typical for half of the devices in this category of machines, shows rather average capabilities (Kaiser WT 36310 (55 cm), Hotpoint-Ariston AQ70L 05 (55 cm), Hansa AWN610DH (53 cm). Class D is the lowest, and the result The spin speed of the machines of its owners is more modest (Ardo FLSN 85 SW (39 cm), Whirlpool AWG 638 (55 cm), Vestel OWM 833 (38 cm).
WHAT I CAN
The technical features of machines with reduced depth partially correspond to the capabilities of full-size machines of their brand. Among them are engines (asynchronous, inverter, direct drive), technologies for mixing powder and water, supplying a detergent composition, the geometry of the hatch, the back and drum blades, the surface of the drum and its holes, the presence of special programs and a control system.
The characteristic features of the Italian Candy machines are not only the Shiatsu drum and large loading, but also a rather conveniently raised hatch, thanks to which you need to bend over less.
I WASH AND DRY
The drying function, in addition to standard ones, is most often found in machines with a reduced depth of up to 55-56 cm; there are also narrow ones, but there are literally only a few of them - Candy GO4 W264 (44 cm), LG F-1203CDP (44 cm).
For some models, the appearance of this function led to a reduction in the main load, for example, the machine with reduced depth Bosch WVD 24460 (56 cm deep) is designed for 5 kg of things (and 2.5 for drying), and the device without drying is only 1 cm deeper , Bosch WAS 20443, can handle 8 kg of things.
Typically, the load of laundry for drying (dry) is half the load for washing, as in the Kaiser WT 36310 (55 cm): 6 kg - washing, 3 kg - drying. But now there are machines with an advantage that allow you to dry not half, but several more things. So, with Smeg LSE147S (55 cm), after washing 7 kg of laundry, you can dry 4 kg, and with Hotpoint-Ariston ARMXXL 105 (54 cm) the ratio is even more interesting - 7 and 5 kg.
The presence of the function is also reflected in the energy consumption class. As we have written many times, there are now few washing machines (without dryers) that have a class lower than A. But in this case, the machine consumes more energy, so the class drops, for example, Bosch WVD 2446 S has class C, Hotpoint-Ariston ARMXXL 105, Candy GO4 W264, Indesit IWDC 7105 – class B.

Let's understand the notation
The power consumption of the washing machine is indicated on the label and is designated by the letters “A”, “B”, “C”, etc. Also, a “+” is attached to the symbol, this indicates that the model is more economical. Today, washing machines are produced that are assigned one of the following energy consumption classes.
- A++ - indicates that the machine “eats” 0.15 kW for every kg of cotton linen. Moreover, precisely during the washing program, when the water warms up to 60°C;
- A+ – only 0.17 kW is consumed;
- A – power consumption, calculated in the laboratory, increases to 0.19 kW;
- B – a machine assigned this class consumes 0.23 kW per hour of washing a kilogram of cotton fabric;
- C – the number of kilowatts required for washing – 0.27;
- D – energy consumption class is assigned to washing machines that consume up to 0.31 kW per 1 kg of laundry placed in the drum.
It is worth recalling once again that this indicator is calculated when washing cotton with water heated to 60 degrees. If synthetics are loaded into the drum, or an increased temperature regime is needed, then the machine will “eat up” more watts. The indicated values are given for automatic machines; semi-automatic machines are characterized by slightly different numbers.

Briefly about the brand
Not everyone knows that the Indesit brand is closely related to the Ariston brand. The company, or rather the Ariston trademark, was formed much earlier, in Italy in 1930. The founder of the company was entrepreneur Aristide Merloni, who owned the Merloni Elettrodomestici concern. Initially, the concern manufactured scales, and after the war it switched to water heating systems produced under the Ariston brand, and a little later expanded production to cookers and other household appliances.
In 1975, the Indesit brand appeared on the market, producing household appliances, in particular washing machines. The product of this company quickly gained popularity due to the ideal combination of price and quality. By this time, the Merloni Elettrodomestici holding was already managed by Aristide Merloni's son, Vitorio. It was he who decided to buy out Indesit, and in 1989 he succeeded. Since then, both brands have been produced by the same concern. Household appliances of these brands have won the world market and the trust of consumers.
Which model is better to buy
Let's look at the technical parameters of products to compile a rating:
- Model software. Among the presented machines, the most functional are Indesit Wisl, Wiun, Iwsb. These designs perform 16 basic programs and are suitable for washing different types of fabrics: wool, silk, denim.
- Look at the spin speed. Models with a high spin level - 800-1000 rpm. The higher this characteristic, the drier the washed laundry will be.
- We look at the maximum amount of laundry load per one working cycle. Indesit models wash 4-5 kg of clothes at a time, so any design will do. The best models are Indesit Iwsb, 103.
- Look at the efficiency of the model, the optimal water consumption is 30-40 liters per working cycle (Indesit Wiun, Wisl). Models consume a lot of water (from 40 to 50 liters), so their use is not economical.
- An important criterion is ease of management. Most models with electronic control are equipped with a display: Wiun, Wisl, 82, 5085. Indesit 105, 103 have a mechanical control type.
- The level of sound insulation of structures is low; the work cannot be called silent. When washing, noise effects reach 50-60 dB.
- Consider the functionality of the design. The model must be equipped with protection against leakage, overflow, and overheating. Only such designs are presented in the rating.
- Look at the weight and dimensions of washing machines. The products presented in the rating are small and compact. Such structures are free-standing, so they are suitable for equipping large and small rooms. Weight – 50-60 kg, products are easy to transport and move.
Among the best models, Indesit Wiun, Wisl, 82, 5085 stand out. These are products with high functionality, wear resistance and durability.

Dimensions of built-in washing machines
With increasing consumer power, there is a high tendency to purchase built-in washing machines. Washing machines are built into the set and hidden behind decorative plates.
The dimensions of these washing machines are slightly different from separately located equipment. Narrow washing machines for installation in furniture are not manufactured. The standard for furniture depth is 600 mm, so it is not practical to install a washing machine at 350 mm. The stability of these models is worse, the load of laundry is smaller, and behind the back of the equipment there will be another 200-300 mm of unused free space.
Full-size equipment with a depth of 600 mm is also very difficult to insert into furniture, since hoses need to be placed behind the back, and a façade panel is attached to the front. As a rule, built-in appliances are manufactured with a depth of 500-550 mm.
An example is the MAUNFELD MBW M.14 85W model, it has dimensions of 600x550x820.
Certain free-standing washing machines can also be built into furniture. You just need to remove the top cover. The appliance will be lower by 2-3 cm - this is enough for the washing machine to fit under the countertop. Naturally, it will not be possible to secure the front panel; the remote control and the hatch will be within reach.
Please note that not all washing appliances can be installed this way. For example, in an Ariston AQ 105 D 49DB car, the hatch is located flush with the side of the wall, and even if you remove the cover, it still protrudes. The height does not become smaller.
