Today it is difficult to imagine your life without home helpers - a refrigerator, a food processor, an air conditioner, etc. However, many useful appliances require space. Modern apartments often do not have the ability to accommodate full-sized units. However, manufacturers took care of their consumers and began to produce full-fledged smaller devices. These units include a narrow washing machine. Consider it in more detail.
Features
What is the difference between a narrow washing machine and its "standard" sister? The "skinny women", as you might guess from the name, have a smaller depth - from 32 to 45 cm. How do such models differ from full-sized counterparts? There are no big differences either in the number of programs, or in loading, or in the quality of washing. At the same time, the reduced dimensions, namely the depth, allow for a compact installation of such a machine in a bathroom or a small kitchen. The height and width of the units remain the same - 85 cm and 60 cm respectively.
What does a narrow washing machine look like? Depending on the model, it can be front-loaded or top-loaded. The task of the hostess who wants to purchase such a unit is only to decide which option suits her.
Choose the right one
Often a "thin" washing machine is purchased by single people or a small (2-3 people) family.
Before you buy a home assistant, decide what type of loading you need - it can be frontal or vertical. In the first option, you should take care of free access to the unit, otherwise there will be inevitable inconvenience when removing laundry.

Sometimes it is necessary to put the machine under the countertop or sink. Manufacturers have taken care of this. Today, the built-in front washing machine - narrow, but at the same time convenient and practical - fits seamlessly into any interior.
