Many people choose a washing machine without paying due attention to its dimensions. However, if you started a repair and want the machine to fit into your interior, then you definitely need to take into account its dimensions. Here we will not consider all machine sizes (height, depth) - we will stop only at the standard height of the washing machine.
Height of front loading washing machines
The most common washing machines are front-loading machines. The standard height of this washer is 85 cm.. But be sure to take into account the fact that the legs of washing machines are adjustable, and therefore the total height of the washing machine can also vary from 85 to 90 cm.
Also, if you use additional anti-vibration rubber pads for washing machine, then the total height will increase by the height of these legs. Consider this.
Front-loading washing machines are great for built-in kitchen cabinets or placed under the sink. But the question remains how a machine with a height of 85 cm will fit into a standard headset.
Height of top loading washing machine
The height of the standard top-loading washing machine is also 85 cm, which allows it to be placed flush with other furniture in both the bathroom and the kitchen. The height can be increased by twisting the legs or using additional pads under them.
In such washing machines, there is a big difference from front-loading machines - this is a flip-up lid for loading laundry.It is because of this difference that such a washing machine cannot be built inside the kitchen under the countertop or under the sink, because to load the laundry you will have to open the washing machine and thereby increase its height. The height of the vertical washing machine with the lid open can be up to 130 cm.
Will the washing machine fit under the kitchen or sink
It is best to place the washing machine under the countertop, built into the kitchen, but it may not fit in height. Therefore, many modern washing machines it is possible to remove the top cover for installation, which allows you to easily "stick" it inside the kitchen. If you are interested in this moment, then be sure to ask the sales assistant about the availability of such an opportunity. Also remember to pay attention to washing machine width, which should correspond to a niche in the kitchen set.
If you are not going to embed the washer under the countertop, then even without removing the cover, it should almost be level with the top of the countertop. If anything, then you can twist the legs, for a more precise setting.
Not every washing machine will fit under the sink, and a special sink is also needed. Therefore, the height of such washing machines is 60 cm, maximum 70 cm. A special sink and a special siphon are also used, which give more space for appliances.
