The best narrow washing machines with a depth of up to 40 cm

The main source of profit for the Chinese company Midea is climate technology. But the brand’s portfolio also includes high-quality washing machines. Thus, the MF100 W60 model is classified as a narrow machine to match a small laundry.

The device fits into narrow niches: the installation depth of the washing machine is 40 cm, the width is just under 60 cm. On the side of the front panel of the body, the machine is equipped with a loading hatch made of translucent black plastic, which leads into a capacious drum. Considering the compact dimensions of the Midea MF100 W60, the drum capacity here is “what you need” - 6 kg of dry laundry.

The operation of the washing machine is controlled by a rotary mode selection knob and touch buttons. Exactly in the middle of the mechanical program switch is an info display that displays the remaining time until the end of the washing cycle. The model has 15 preset automatic programs with the functions of pre-soaking dirty clothes and additional rinsing.

The washing machine spins at speeds up to 1000 rpm. During spin cycles at high drum rotation speeds, the model is very noisy. And in fact, this is the only complaint about the washing machine. In terms of all other factors, the model impresses with its balanced characteristics, acceptable water consumption and electricity consumption, and a relatively affordable price.

The Beko WUE 6512 XWW model from the entry-level segment of ultra-narrow washing machines fits perfectly into the concept of placement in conditions of limited free space.

The washing machine has a shallow body depth - only 40 cm. In one working cycle, the model is capable of washing up to 6 kg of laundry. At the same time, water is used sparingly (40 l) and a minimum amount of electricity is consumed. As for the energy efficiency rating, the machine is marked with the designation A+++. Before the introduction of a new gradation of energy saving classes, which occurred in 2021, class A with three “pluses” was the highest possible.

The rotary knob on the device control panel selects one of 15 preset washing programs. The model has a quick wash mode of 14 minutes. (subject to loading up to 2 kg of laundry), a hygiene program for children's laundry, and the temperature and number of spin speeds for programs can be adjusted separately. The maximum spin performance reaches 1000 rpm, however, at this intensity, strong vibrations of the machine are possible.

The equipment has traditional front loading, a drum imbalance control function, and a leakage protection system. The model does not stand out in any way from its narrow peers in terms of something exclusive. But Beko WUE 6512 XWW copes with its direct responsibilities for high-quality washing confidently and without unnecessary questions.

Baby Amica WA1S610CLISH is a tiny deep washing machine (40 cm) with advanced inverter control and steam washing function. But let's talk about everything in order.

The device was equipped with a low-noise, energy-efficient and durable LogicDrive 3.0 brushless motor. According to the new gradation of energy labeling, the model is assigned a high rank B, which allows it to be classified as the most economical washing machine. On average, Amica WA1S610CLISH consumes about 43 liters of water per wash cycle. The noise level of the machine during spinning does not exceed 76 dB.

The model's software arsenal includes 16 automatic modes. The user will find both quick programs and specialized modes such as sterilizing things at a temperature of 70 ° C or SteamPower Pro steam washing. Cycle times can be reduced using the OptiTime function, which reduces the standard time of the selected program and minimizes energy consumption.

It is supposed to control water consumption and energy consumption according to the data on the information display of the washing machine. Below the screen there is a scattering of push-button controls, and the washing program is set by rotating the rotary mode selection knob in a circle. The washer also periodically reminds the user of the need to carry out the AutoClean procedure to ensure hygiene, optimal washing results and increase the service life of the machine.

The Electrolux washing machine uses an inverter motor, which increases the overall efficiency and reliability of the device. Its presence also increases the efficiency of the model. Energy consumption is rated A+++, and water consumption per cycle is a moderate 43 liters.

Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S326SUI is capable of flexibly adapting to the tasks of a specific user. Thus, thanks to the TimeManager function, you can both speed up the washing cycle as much as possible (at the expense of resource consumption), and increase its duration - for even greater savings in water and electricity, as well as thorough removal of difficult contaminants.

Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S326SUI “knows how” to effectively wash various fabrics: synthetics, cotton, silk and even wool, which, as a rule, requires manual care. By the way, the latest program is marked with a Woolmark certificate, which confirms the careful handling of woolen products.

With a cabinet depth of 38 cm, the washing machine can load up to 6 kg of laundry. As for narrow solutions, spinning is performed here very efficiently and quickly (up to 1200 rpm) (class B). This is partly due to the fact that the total depth with the hatch protrusion is still slightly more than 40 cm, namely 41 cm. But in general, the Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S326SUI is a cool washing machine from a trusted manufacturer with good capacity and an adequate price tag.

The washing machine has already become popular among buyers, and this is not surprising, because it combines a not too high price, small size, nice design, good equipment and all the necessary functions for everyday use. This is a front-loading model, a maximum spin speed of 1000 rpm and a load capacity of up to 6 kg, that is, a good option for a family even with one child. An important advantage is the presence of a digital inverter, which, unlike traditional electric motors, is quieter, consumes less electricity and lasts many times longer. This can be confirmed by the official 10-year warranty from the manufacturer.

The menu of available programs is not bloated and includes everything necessary for washing clothes, bed linen, blankets, etc. There are separate modes for outerwear, synthetics, cotton, multi-colored items and wool (delicate wash). In addition, the “Daily Wash”, “Quick Wash” (the cycle lasts only 15 minutes, but is designed for a small number of not too dirty items) and Hygiene Steam programs are available. The latter mode provides deep cleansing with steam, which effectively removes old dirt and removes 99.9% of bacteria. This mode is especially useful for washing children's clothes, clothes of pet owners and people with allergies. Also useful are the Delay End function ( wash end timer up to 24 hours) and Drum Clean self-cleaning to remove detergent residue and dirt inside the drum without the use of aggressive and expensive chemicals.

A convenient control panel with a rotary knob, buttons, LED display and clear symbols is provided for control. If necessary, the panel can be locked to prevent someone in the household (especially small children) from accidentally changing the settings.

Another advantage of a washing machine is its economy - both in space and in resource consumption. The dimensions are 85x59.5x40 cm, that is, this is a fairly narrow technique that is suitable for small rooms with limited free space. It will also take care of utility bills, as it uses water and electricity economically: the device has an A+++ energy consumption class (according to the old classification, the highest possible) and consumes only 0.67 kWh of energy and 42 liters of water per cycle. It is also a fairly quiet machine, the noise level of which reaches 74 dB during the spin cycle. Simply put, it does not vibrate or hum during operation, thereby not causing discomfort to its owners, which is especially important for families with small children.
