Compact washing machine: pros and cons
A washing machine is one of the most essential household appliances in your home. OXO will talk about the pros and cons of the compact unit.
Small washing machine takes up little space. She “feels” well in the kitchen and in the bathroom, closet or hallway. Under a sink, countertop or wall. There is enough space for installation.
The compact washing machine does not consume much electricity during operation. Due to its small size, it consumes not only little energy, but also water and cleaning agents.
The visual appeal of such a device is undeniable. The miniature size is much more attractive than the overall device. They are in harmony with almost any style.
Don't forget about functionality. Compact washing machines retain the same functions as conventional ones - washing, rinsing, spinning. However, compactness can affect modes.
The size of the washing machine certainly affects the price. Less is cheaper.
As for the disadvantages, they are associated with the volume of the drum or dimensions. Small washing machines can hold up to 4 kg of laundry. If for a family of 1-2 members it is normal, then for 4-5 people it is not enough.
The overall dimensions are also related to the smaller support area. Such machines vibrate strongly during spinning.
There are difficulties with washing oversized linen - duvet covers, sheets, bedspreads cause frequent problems.
Choosing a compact washing machine, you need to weigh all the advantages and disadvantages, and only then decide to buy.
OXO previously reported on expert advice on how to keep the bath clean.
