Fitted Washing Machines

The fitted washing machines are positioned behind a cabinet door and are designed to be placed inside kitchen units. They are narrower and have a recessed bottom to accommodate a normal kitchen plinth.

They offer time-saving programs which make laundry time more efficient and includes features that any family member will appreciate, such as the speedPerfect sensor to reduce cycle times by up to 65%.

Size

The size of a washing machine is an important factor to take into account when choosing the best one for your home. There are a variety of options for washing machines, from small, compact models to large spacious models. In general, the majority of intergrated washing machines machines measure around 85 cm tall and 60cm wide however, these measurements may vary by a millimetre or two.

To achieve the best results, select the right washing machine suitable for your family's needs. This will ensure that your laundry is cleaned efficiently. It's important to keep in mind that a larger drum does not necessarily mean more washing cycles. Larger machines typically consume a lot of energy and water.

The depth of your washer is another important factor to consider. Since integrated washing machines are designed to be placed under kitchen worktops and concealed behind the cabinet's door, their depth can vary by a few centimetres each other. For this reason, it is important to measure the depth of your cabinet prior to purchasing a new washing machine. Add 7cm more to the depth of a standalone unit, and 3cm to the depth of integrated appliances.

For example, a higher spin speed might seem like a good idea but it could lead to more wear and tear on your fabric and increase the overall cost of your washing machine in the long run.

Energy efficiency

It is important to consider the energy efficiency of the washing machine. The more energy efficient the appliance is and the lower it will cost you to run. You should be aware that the washer that has an efficiency rating that is higher might also have a slower spin rate. This can affect the quality of your wash. The delicates, cotton and synthetics can be spun very quickly.

Modern washing machines are equipped with a range of features that affect their energy consumption. For instance, some models are equipped with sensors that can monitor the amount of water and heat needed for each load. These models can automatically adjust these factors according to the load size and the model you choose which will save you time and money. A lot of appliances have a smart function that can be controlled via your smartphone or voice command. You can start or stop the wash from anywhere and track its progress.

In recent times, manufacturers have been focusing on improving the energy efficiency of their products by cutting down on electricity and water consumption. These improvements can be significant to your household bills as well as the environment. Make sure to check the energy rating of any new appliance prior to you purchase it. The ratings are typically listed with the EU Eco label, which is a straightforward way to judge the energy efficiency of a product. The ratings cover washing performance and spin efficiency and are rated from A+++ to G. The more generally speaking the higher the score is, the more efficient the appliance will be.

It's important to note that an integrated washing machine is usually better than an individual model. The cabinet of an integrated model is made for a specific use and converting it into something else can be costly and risky. It is also important to be aware that integrated models can typically be more expensive to install than their freestanding counterparts, and that any calls to an integrated washer will be more expensive than those for a standalone one.

Noise

When you are buying a new washing machine it is crucial to think about the noise level. You should buy a washing machine that produces less noise than 70 decibels during the spin cycle. This will help to reduce the amount of sound produced by your laundry and prevent hearing loss with time. Even the quietest washing machine can make some noise.

The damage to the spider in the drum is often the reason for a loud washer. This is the huge three-pronged piece that holds the laundry basket within the drum. The spider will create a loud sound and may harm your clothes if breaks. This is a serious issue with washing machines and can only be fixed by replacing the part.

The surface on which a washer is placed can also affect the noise level. If the floor isn't smooth, it will be a rumbling sound and bounce against cupboards or walls. Placing a mat under the machine or using adjustable feet to ensure that it isn't sat on uneven surfaces can help in reducing the noise and vibrations generated by your washer.

Insulate the space around your washing machine could also help to reduce the sound. This is a cheap and simple method to add padding, which can help to reduce the sounds of the machine when it is in use. Make sure you don't cover any vents or controls.

Design

The design of the washing machine will influence the appearance of it and how easy to use.

A timer that informs you when your laundry is finished could be a feature you would like. This can be useful for busy parents or those with children who are young around.

Many people try to integrate freestanding washing machines but this isn't always successful and can be dangerous because the cabinets were made to serve different purposes. It's also important to be sure that the appliance is a good fit in the space available for it, and that there's plenty of room around it for easy access should the machine need to be repaired or serviced.

You'll need to take into consideration how many clothes you have and the type of linen you wash. Then consider how many cycles you typically run each week, what sort of laundry you wash (such as dark colors or delicates) and how much power you want to use in the process. You'll also need to consider how far you'd like it to be from your drain and any gas or hot water connections.

Even a well-designed washer could fail after a few years. To get the most precise results, manufacturers have to test each machine under real-world conditions and it's not easy to replicate the behaviour of the people who use their appliances in their homes. There are ways to improve the testing process and ensure that washing machines have the performance required for a long period of time.
