Best Narrow Front Loading Washing Machines

Front loading washing machines are the most popular on the market. It was in this category that the above three units belonged. However, being the narrowest, they are not the most attractive choice in their class. And if your apartment allows you to purchase appliances with a little larger dimensions, then we recommend taking a closer look at the three wonderful washing machines from our second category.

1. Samsung WW65K42E08W

Model WW65K42E08W from South Korean brand Samsung is, without a doubt, the best narrow washing machine in the ranking in all respects. In stores it can be found from 350 $... Moreover, it is impossible to call its price even a little too high. This model is equipped with a 6.5 kg Diamond drum and supports the ability to add laundry during washing, for which there is a special window in the hatch. We also have before us the only device in the rating with a spin efficiency class B. There are 12 standard programs available in Samsung WW65K42E08W, but thanks to the support for control from a smartphone, the user can use additional settings. Of course, the spacious Samsung washing machine is equipped with a direct drive, and as a "cherry on the cake" there is a ceramic heater, which is much less prone to scale settling on it than classic solutions.

What we liked:

• typical Samsung design;

• many programs, including a quick wash in 15 minutes;
• high spin efficiency;
• low power consumption;
• a small hatch for adding laundry during washing;
• it is possible to set the end time of washing;

2. LG F-1096ND3

Another brand from South Korea, LG, offers a stylish, functional and reliable washing machine. Model F-1096ND3 can be supplied separately or integrated. Other advantages of the device include a direct drive, which allows you to achieve greater washing efficiency and lower noise levels. More precisely, washing and spinning in F-1096ND3 classes A and C, respectively, and the standard noise is 53 dB (73 at maximum when spinning the laundry). One cannot ignore the design of the washing machine, made in the spirit of the current top lines of the manufacturer.

For a standard wash cycle, this model consumes 45 liters of water, and in terms of washing / spinning efficiency, the unit corresponds to classes A / C. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to block the washing machine from children, so consider this nuance before buying.But one of the best in terms of price-quality ratio of washing machines in the rating can be used either as a stand-alone device or as built-in appliances, which is an important advantage for its cost.

Best Narrow Top Loading Washing Machines

In this category, we decided not to consider the classic vertical type washers. This is due to the fact that all such devices are quite compact, which means that they need a separate rating, where more than 3 devices can be included. But there are not so many worthy representatives of budget solutions that can be purchased as a temporary solution for a rented apartment or a good option for a summer residence. Among such representatives, we have also selected the top three, which you can find below.

1. Assol XPB50-880S

Immediately, we note that in this category of washing machines we are talking exclusively about budget machines that belong to the activator type of washing. This means that they do not have the usual drum, but instead there is a plastic circle with blades mounted on the side wall or bottom of the unit. In terms of the quality of washing, such a solution is somewhat inferior to the classic models, but it allows you to reload the laundry at any time. Another argument in favor of activator-type machines is their low weight. For example, the weight of the reviewed XPB50-880S model is only 18 kg. Due to this, it can be stored in a pantry or other room, taking out only when necessary. According to reviews about the washing machine, one can note its high-quality assembly and good, as for its class, washing efficiency.

Advantages:

• weight and size characteristics;
• washes things well;
• good roominess for its size;
• excellent build quality;
• in warm water, clothes can be washed in 15-20 minutes;
• the presence of a centrifuge for wringing.

Disadvantages:

• unfinished water drain system;
• not very high quality drain hose.

2. Slavda WS-30ET

The following washing machine is suitable for those looking for a washing machine with a depth of up to 40 cm and a small width. The dimensions of the Slavda WS-30ET are 41x33x64 cm, which makes it the most compact in the review. However, only 3 kg of laundry can be washed in this unit. Control in Slavda WS-30ET is mechanical (rotary controls). By the way, this also applies to other activator washers in this review. The main advantage that this high-quality washing machine can boast is its cost. Most stores offer WS-30ET for only 36 $... Finding something more affordable and of the same quality is simply impossible. The model from Slavd could not take first place only for the ill-conceived drainage system and the poor quality of the hose used to drain the water.

Advantages:

• extremely low cost;
• very light weight and small dimensions;
• convenient control;
• high-quality assembly;
• washes well.

Disadvantages:

• inconvenient drain system and unreliable hose.

3. RENOVA WS-50PT

The review closes with a popular washing machine model among summer residents - WS-50PT from RENOVA. This is a model with a maximum load of laundry up to 4.5 kg during spinning and 5 kg during washing. One of the unique features for its class is the delay start timer. There is an excellent model of the activator RENOVA washing machine and a drain pump, which greatly facilitates the drainage of water. Also, buyers note the good quality of washing, which is ensured by a good design and a multi-pulsator. The maximum spin speed of the freestanding washing machine WS-50PT is 1350 rpm, which is more than some classic models. But its dimensions are very impressive - 74x43x88 cm.

Advantages:

• reasoned cost;
• quality of construction and materials;
• the washing efficiency surpasses some models of the machine;
• there is the possibility of rinsing in running water;
• squeezes out laundry efficiently enough.

Disadvantages:

• the dimensions are somewhat large;
• the drain hose could be longer.
