Narrow Front and Top Loading Washing Machines
Buying a Slim Width Washing Machine
Investing in a slim width washing machine is ideal if you are low on space or maybe less mobile to bend. Moving away from the standard size washing machine gives you a choice of either a top loader or more compact appliance. Dimensions vary from machine type some being tall and narrow while others feature a smaller drum capacity. Standard measurements of a front-loading machine are roughly 850mm high, and 595 to 600mm wide. Whereas anything smaller than this is classed as compact or narrow. Although there’s a greater choice of slim depth washing machines compared to narrower types, top brands do make them. You’ll find brands such as Hotpoint, Whirlpool and Zanussi manufacturer a few freestanding slim width models.

Tall and Slim Top Loading Washers
Laundry appliances to fit neatly under a kitchen countertop are readily available online, however, slim width ones are harder to find. The answer may lie in buying a top loading washing machine. These are much taller and not as wide as the average 600mm width washing machine. Best of all, top-loading models are easier to load from the top so don’t require bending down to access the door. Top loaders are well suited for elderly people who struggle to put in and taking out laundry at lower levels. Their slimline build also solves a problem where space is limited such as in a small kitchen or utility room.
