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 SlimLine 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.

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.
