Best Narrow Washing Machines in 2020

At the time of automation, it is difficult to find a person who does not have a washing machine at home. The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers to your attention a rating of the best narrow washing machines, which differ not only in modern design, technical characteristics, but also have optimal dimensions for the improvement of any home.

Varieties

Back in the USSR, the population learned about such a blessing of civilization. True, then they were a type of semi-automatic, but still they were able to significantly facilitate the work of the hostesses.

At the moment, there are various cars, to the taste of any buyer, ranging from technical characteristics to design.

All washing machines are classified into 3 types:

• Automatic;
• Semi-automatic;
• Ultrasonic.

Automatic washing machines Is the most common type. They are equipped with mechanical or touch control, are multifunctional, have a long service life and are distinguished by high-quality work.

Semi-automatic and ultrasonic ones are in much less demand. As a rule, this is a budget option when there is no opportunity to purchase another product.

Semi-automatic machines differ in mobility and small size. They do not need to be connected to water supply and sewerage systems.

The disadvantages of such machines are that instead of a drum, as in automatic ones, a container with a disc is installed here, which drives an electric drive. This device does not wash laundry as gently as the drum of an automatic machine.

The lack of program control and water heating is also inconvenient in this type.

Ultrasonic machines contradict all ideas about such a technique. They are small and look more like a body massager than a machine. Customer reviews of such a device are disappointing. There is no noticeable effect after this kind of washing.

By size, cars are divided into:

Fullsize - The largest and most roomy devices. Their cost is much lower than that of narrow or compact ones. Full-size cars, in turn, are divided by the type of loading into vertical and model with a front hatch. Top-loading machines have proven themselves to be better in terms of safety and durability, therefore their price is higher.

Narrow and ultra-narrow - a convenient option for small bathrooms or kitchens. They have only horizontal loading type, economical in the use of water and electricity. Pricing policy is higher than full size.

Compact - they are not only narrower than full-size ones, but their height is much lower. Thus, if the apartment has problems with quadrature, the machine can be installed even under the sink. The loading volume is not inferior to the full-size ones. Their cost is about the same. Loading is possible both horizontal and frontal.

They differ not only in size, but also in capacity.

1. Full size:

• Height - 85 - 90 cm.;
• Depth - 60 cm;
• Width - 60 cm.

Loading: 5-7 kilograms.

2. Narrow:

• Height - 85 - 90 cm.;
• Depth - 30 - 40 cm;
• Width - 60 cm.

Loading: 3.5 - 5.2 kilograms.

3. Ultra - narrow:

• Height - 85 - 90 cm.;
• Depth - 32 - 35cm;
• Width - 60 cm.

Loading: 3.5 - 4 kilograms.

4. Compact:

• Height - 68 - 70 cm.;
• Depth-43-45 cm.;
• Width - 47 - 50 cm.

Loading: 3 kilograms.

Washing machine care

Installation and use rules

Washing machines need proper care, both for the body and for the interior, for long-term service.

The machine must be installed on a flat and smooth surface so that the washing machine is stationary during washing. Also, make sure that the wires and hoses are not tangled or pinched. If possible, it is better to entrust the installation and connection to professionals.

It is enough to wipe the body of the device from dust and prevent moisture from entering it.

The powder drawer should occasionally be rinsed and hardened particles cleaned. After washing, it is also advisable to wipe the drum and rubber bands with a sponge, which will remove moisture. After the hatch, leave it open for a while.

The internal safety of the car needs to be taken more seriously. The drum of the washer should be periodically inspected, as trapped metal objects can lead to rust formation.

There is also a possibility that a foreign object as a result of washing gets under the drum, then it can harm the tank.

Also, the drain hole should be cleaned. It is often clogged with various small objects that remain in pockets, hair, wool, and other debris.To do this, you need to substitute a container for draining the remaining water to it, unscrew the lid and remove all excess.

If any small object gets into the drain pump, a voltage surge may occur, which instantly disables the modular control system.

Scale

Limescale is one of the most significant reasons for the failure of the machine. It is formed as a result of device operation at high temperatures.

It is deposited on internal metal surfaces and heating elements, which prevents it from heating and shortens its service life.

For prevention purposes, you can use a magnet or special chemicals that do not allow scale to settle. But they are quite expensive and need to be added quite often.

Teng can be cleaned by mechanical action. But for this it will be necessary to disassemble the car, moreover, with such cleaning, the ten can simply be damaged.

A safer and more effective way is to cleanse with citric acid. The main thing here is not to overdo it with the proportions, otherwise the acid can harm the machine.

The easiest and most common way to remove limescale:

1. Check the drum of the machine for white and small particles. Remove everything and close the hatch tightly.
2. Pour 2 - 3 tablespoons of citric acid into the powder compartment.
3. Start the machine using the longest program, setting the highest temperature if possible. Often this is a cotton program.
4. After the end of washing, you can additionally start a "rinse" to remove unwanted residues of the agent.

Thanks to this option, not only the heating element is cleaned, but also the entire inner surface of the device.

The machine does not need frequent cleaning, it is enough to do it once every half a year, for the purpose of prevention.

Shoe washing

1. Many are wondering at the expense of washing shoes in the washing machine. Everything is possible, the main thing is to follow a few rules. Otherwise, you can not only harm sneakers or home slippers, but also disable the machine;
2. Remove laces and insoles from shoes, if any;
3. Put shoes in a special bag for washing (laces and insoles can be put there too);
4. A bag of shoes is placed in the drum, along with a few towels or other laundry, which will soften the wash. Only 2 pairs of shoes can be washed at a maximum at a time, otherwise a large number of them can knock out the glass of the hatch;
5. The program must be selected delicate, temperature 30-40 degrees, so that the shoes do not come unstuck;
6. In no case should you set spinning and drying, high speed can damage the bearings.

With careful use, the washing machine will be an irreplaceable assistant for many years.
