Dimensions of washing machine under the sink

When installing a washing machine under the sink, it is important to monitor the dimensions of the machine, especially if there is already a sink and it cannot be replaced. You need to look for a washing machine that will fit under the washbasin and will not stick out and “bump” against the ceramics. There are many miniature models on the market, all that remains is to find the right size.

What are their parameters?

Most brands offer standard under-sink washing machine sizes. The parameters vary depending on the model and manufacturer, but usually the difference does not exceed 3-5 cm. But when installing, every centimeter is important, so before purchasing we compare the desired indicators with the real ones.

The determining parameter will be the height, which ranges from 67-70 cm. If the washing machine does not exceed this value, it means that it will freely “stand” under the water lily sink with a classic siphon. Moreover, there will be an air “reserve” of several centimeters.

In addition to height, we also look at depth. Despite the overall compactness, this parameter is more complicated - it is 5-13 cm larger than that of narrow machines. As a rule, we are talking about the range of 46-51 cm. Thus, the miniature model Eurosoba 1100 Sprint is 46 cm in length, and the standard Indesit IWUB 4105 is 33 cm. Because of this, difficulties may arise with the siphon; the washing machine will not fit and will stick out . It’s easier with width, since the difference in size is easily hidden by an elongated tabletop.

Washing machines under the sink have a height of 67-70 cm and a depth of 46-51 cm.

Compact washing machines differ not only in size. It is worth understanding that the reduced width and length hide limited functionality and low capacity.On average, miniature models wash 3-4 kg of laundry in one cycle, while narrow models can hold 5-8 kg, and full-size models can hold up to 9-10. The spin cycle is also weaker and the range of modes and options is more modest. But the cost of “babies” is several times higher than standard machines.

If limited functionality and high cost do not scare you, then you can start choosing the most suitable machine. First of all, we focus on the dimensions, second – on the reliability of the manufacturer, and then – on the washing and spinning parameters. A review of compact washing machines that have proven themselves well among consumers will help you decide. The leading brands are Electrolux, Euronova, Eurosoba and Candy.

• Euronova Singlenova 1000. Front washing machine designed specifically for installation under the sink. With a height of 67 cm and a depth of 46 cm, it fits perfectly under a regular sink. Thanks to its discreet white design, it harmonizes with the washbasin, and thanks to its electronic controls and digital display, it is easy to use. In one cycle, you can wash no more than 3 kg of laundry and spin it when the drum accelerates to 1000 rpm. There is protection against leaks, imbalance control and a basic set of programs (fast, preliminary, delicate, wool, economical).
• Electrolux EW 1170 C. Another miniature floor-standing washing machine with a front-loading type. It offers a capacity of 3 kg, mechanical control and a white body color. The dimensions of the machine are suitable for installation under a standard sink: width 50 cm, depth 52 and height 67. The washing machine has a spin speed of up to 1100 revolutions, a panel lock from accidental pressing, a metal-plastic tank, control of imbalance and foam formation, as well as 10 programs with a bio-enzyme phase .But there are also significant drawbacks: class “C” energy consumption and the lack of even partial protection against leaks.
• Eurosoba 1100 Sprint Plus. Free-standing front camera with a maximum load of up to 4 kg and compact dimensions: 46x46x68. The model has many advantages, the main one of which is the additional loading of laundry during washing through the main hatch. Also among the “pluses” is the presence of a compartment for liquid powder, low noise level and high energy consumption class. You will also be pleased with the high-quality spin speed at up to 1100 rpm. Protection against leaks is partial, but there is a child lock on the panel, automatic control of imbalance and foam formation. There are 14 washing programs, and in addition to the basic ones there are additional ones: wrinkle prevention, bio-enzyme phase, fluff, black, mixed, jeans. The rich functionality significantly affects the cost of the unit - it has a price tag of about 40,000-70,000 rubles. There are machines in the Eurosoba line in both black and white.

The average cost of a miniature washing machine ranges from $200 to $630.

• Candy Aqua 114D2. Kandy also has a compact model - a front automatic with a capacity of up to 4 kg, a display and electronic control. The dimensions are standard for miniature washing machines: 51x44x69, which allows you to install the Aqua 114D2 both under the sink and in a regular cabinet. It washes in 16 modes, and during spinning it accelerates to 1100 rpm. You can also freely change the cycle settings; the intensity of drum rotation and the temperature of water heating vary. As for safety, there is a partially leak-proof housing and an automatic system response to imbalance and increased foaming. There is no reloading of laundry, but there is a delay start for 24 hours.The owner will also be pleased with the additional option – anti-allergy.
• Zanussi FL 574. One of the narrowest small washing machines, as its depth is only 32 cm. The remaining parameters are also close to the minimum: width 50 cm and length 67 cm. Due to this, the body can easily be built under a sink with any siphon, giving the housewife the opportunity to significantly save space in the bathroom. It is controlled mechanically by Zanussi and washes no more than 3 kg of dry laundry in one cycle. The model has no advantages as such - an average option with 12 washing programs, a plastic tank, modest functionality and automatic imbalance control. There is no protection against leaks here, and the maximum spin speed is limited to 500 rpm. The washing machine is inferior in efficiency and energy consumption classes: it washes at “D” and consumes at “E”.

Euronova 600 EU 352 is considered a good option for embedding under a sink. Its advantage is simplicity, cost-effectiveness and reliability - it does not have new features or additional options that increase the cost of production and repairs. This model has front loading, mechanical control, discreet design and classic dimensions. Thus, the washing machine measures 46 cm in width, 45 in depth and 67 in length, which allows it to be placed under almost any sink: from standard washbasins to modern water lilies and bowls. The operating characteristics are as follows:

• energy consumption and washing efficiency class “B”;
• maximum spin – up to 600 rpm (cancellable);
• protection against leaks – present, partial;
• drum imbalance control – automatic;
• stainless steel tank.

Compact washing machines are in less demand and are not widely available in stores.

By installing a washing machine under the sink, you can save space in the room and make the interior more modern and convenient. The main thing is to look at the dimensions of the machine, do not save money and remember about proper operation.
