How to choose a washer for a studio flat?

Built-in washing machines’ models are considered more expensive, but at the same time, more functional and reliable. There is nothing better for organizing living space in a small but cozy studio apartment than smart built-in solutions. Moreover, this applies both to washing machines and to dishwashers, ovens, and other household appliances that have reliably and confidently entered our lives.

If the space of your apartment and the kitchen set design allows, equip your home with a built-in washing machine (stationary type). Most often, these are front load washers, though one may find top load solutions as well. But choosing the top-loading option, you may lose the ability to use the upper part of the device as a separate stand for household utensils. We recommend evaluating the interior possibilities and technical nuances of each apartment. Of course, it is meaningful to consider the wishes of the owners of the living space themselves. Some people prefer to use strictly front load washers; others, on the contrary, got used to exploit top load devices only.

The advantage of built-in stationary technology is a broader range of washing options, a larger drum capacity, and, of course, more power of the device. The latter parameter assumes a higher quality of washing and spinning, which cannot be compared with portable devices. Built-in washing machines cost significantly more than portable devices though they demonstrate high-efficiency indicators. Such appliances feature a better-implemented spinning option (a more powerful spinning mode). There are additional intellectual functions (for example, automatic recognition of fabric type, automatic regulation of the water temperature, etc.). Also, these are fully automated devices that do not require the users’ involvement. For comparison, in order to operate a portable washing machine, a user needs first to connect it to the tap ( to fill with fresh water) and then lead the tube into the sink (to drain the waste, dirty water).
