Progress does not stand still and every day more and more advanced washing machines appear that delight us with their functionality and ease of use. However, not only the functionality of washing machines is of interest to users, many people pay great attention to its dimensions when choosing a washing machine.
For those who save a lot on square meters of their area, manufacturers have invented a wall-mounted washing machine. Yes, you understood everything correctly, such a washing machine is hung on the wall, like, say, a heating tank or a cupboard in the kitchen.
It is about such washing machines that we will talk today, find out their advantages and disadvantages, and also try to find out about all the pitfalls of such a technique.
Overview of the wall-mounted washing machine
In fact, such washing machines have not been put on stream, and so far only Daewoo has developed and presented the DWD-CV701PC machine, which is installed on the wall. Very soon this model appeared in stores and now you can find it on Yandex. Market and see its description and characteristics.
The wall-mounted washing machine is attractive in that it takes up very little space. You can literally hang it on the wall. At the same time, it will not spoil the appearance, because it has a modern high-tech design.
This washing machine was conceived as an additional washer for the home, in which you can quickly freshen up clothes, because this model is much quieter and more economical than a conventional washing machine, and if you need to wash one T-shirt, then it makes no sense to run a “big wash”.
It is important to choose the right place for installation, since not all walls are suitable for this. It is important to study the plan and determine a suitable place - do not choose thin walls or reinforced concrete columns
Characteristics of the wall-mounted washing machine
- Daewoo washing machine on the wall has the ability to wash up to 3 kg of laundry in one wash. As you understand, this is a very small volume and is not suitable for a large family, but it is perfect for one person.
- But in the washing machine there is a spin of 700 rpm (spin class C), which is quite enough to ensure that water does not flow from the laundry after the end of the wash.
- The DWD-CV701PC washing machine does not have a drain pump. That is, according to the manufacturer's idea, water should drain into the sewer by gravity, due to the fact that it is not on the floor.
- Set of 6 washing programs not very large, but allows you to wash almost any thing. The maximum possible washing temperature is 60°C.
- Wash class B allows you to wash lightly soiled things, but for a snow-white result it falls short.
- The weight at the washing machine 17 kg, which is very small compared to a conventional unit.
- Dimensions of the wall-mounted washing machine 55x29x60 cm, which is quite small.
As you can see, the machine cannot boast of its characteristics, they are quite modest, but it will give odds to the “big” competitors in the size race, it has no equal here.
Washing machine testing
In the video below, you can see how the process of washing a wall-mounted washing machine takes place and what happens in the end. We can only comment on the result, which was obtained during testing of the DWD-CV701PC model.
It is safe to say that the machine does its job well and washes even difficult stains. Of course, if you compare the quality of washing with a conventional class A washing machine, then the wall-mounted one is inferior. But compared to washing machines of a similar washing class, a wall-mounted washer is not inferior in anything, but even wins.
Separately, I would like to note that during its operation there are no vibrations, also, with the exception of spinning and draining water, the machine works almost silently. Draining and spinning itself also do not cause discomfort.
