7 best built-in washing machines

A built-in wash­ing machine is a good option for small apart­ments or rooms where you need to hide excess fur­ni­ture. Since the pur­chase is expen­sive, we have pre­pared a rank­ing of the best mod­els that are rel­e­vant in 2022.

How to choose a good built-in washing machine

Let’s sin­gle out five main cri­te­ria, with the help of which the rat­ing of built-in wash­ing machines was com­piled.

1. Dimen­sions. Before buy­ing, you need to mea­sure the place where the built-in wash­ing machine will be installed. Based on the infor­ma­tion received, we select a mod­el. It is also worth pay­ing atten­tion to some nuances (the pres­ence of legs / wheels, the type of load­ing, and oth­ers).
2. Wash class range from very good (A and above) to very poor (G). You can eas­i­ly find class A and A ++ mod­els in stores, so it’s bet­ter to pay atten­tion to them. Class B should be con­sid­ered as a last resort, it is not rec­om­mend­ed to pay atten­tion to oth­er options.
3. Spin class divid­ed into 7 cat­e­gories (from A to G), it indi­cates what lev­el of humid­i­ty will be after the pro­ce­dure. For the best wash­ers, this fig­ure is at around 45%, for the worst — more than 90%. Anoth­er cri­te­ri­on is the spin speed avail­able. Mod­els for the home have indi­ca­tors from 800 to 1200 rpm, which is quite enough.
4. Noise lev­el mea­sured in deci­bels, this indi­ca­tor affects every­one in its own way. For one per­son, 50 dB is loud, but for anoth­er it is accept­able. In order to under­stand how noisy a par­tic­u­lar mod­el is, you can either read reviews or find a com­pa­ra­ble sound source near­by.
5. Safe­ty. This includes many options, but the most impor­tant is the pan­el lock func­tion, which is indis­pens­able in fam­i­lies with small chil­dren. It will be good if the device has leak­age pro­tec­tion and a drum self-clean­ing func­tion.

Addi­tion­al­ly, it is rec­om­mend­ed to con­sid­er var­i­ous wash­ing modes. Here the spread is huge, some mod­els have eco­nom­i­cal modes, while oth­ers are designed for dif­fer­ent types of wash­ing.

ognep­tax Over­all, this is a great pur­chase! I for­got what a dry­ing rack in the mid­dle of the apart­ment and clothes that have been dry­ing for weeks in wet weath­er are. Thanks to progress and Elec­trolux =) — this is per­haps the most suc­cess­ful invest­ment after a dish­wash­er and a vac­u­um clean­er robot.
