A practical, convenient and neat built-in washing machine will help to save useful space in a small kitchen, and in a large room it will make it possible to create a bright individual design of any complexity.
The technical unit will not be conspicuous and, thanks to the minimum noise level produced during operation, will not interfere with the residents' presence.
But what is such a technique and how to choose it correctly? In this material, we analyze the features of built-in type washers, talk about their advantages and disadvantages, and give practical recommendations for selection.
We also consider the popular offers of such washing machines from reliable manufacturers, presented on the domestic market.
Features of embedded technology
The built-in washing machine differs from the usual one in that it is rigidly fixed in the furniture body and, due to this feature, does not take up extra space, does not vibrate and does not make noise during operation.
Distinctive features of built-in washers
For proper installation, the lower part of the equipment body is equipped with a special recess for the baseboard format.
In the kitchen, it is best to integrate the washing machine as close as possible to the water supply lines. Placing the unit near the oven is not a good idea. The working oven, adjacent to the butt, will warm the side of the washer, thus increasing the physical load on the unit
Most of the models are simply mounted directly on the floor, but some products are equipped with stable telescopic legs that allow you to adjust the height of the mounted equipment.
The housings of the built-in type washing machines are protected on top and sides by strong sheets of stamped metal. This element prevents moisture, debris, grease and other waste products from entering the unit.
The built-in washing machine is very quiet. But for additional sound insulation, experts advise making a protective gasket between the countertop and the control panel. Foam strips of suitable thickness can be used for this. This will make the wash virtually silent.
The lower tier of the unit is hidden by a common base for the entire kitchen, harmoniously combining individual elements into a common ensemble.
The front part is closed by a door made of the same material as the entire headset. It is mounted on the facade of the machine, equipped with durable hinges for this purpose, and locked with a magnetic lock.
Typically, the client has the ability to move the hinges for the hinged decorative door to the right or left side of the machine. This facilitates installation of the unit and makes subsequent operation comfortable.
Some modules intended for installation are equipped with legs having an increased adjustment range.
Thanks to this additional element, to give the device the most successful and user-friendly position is not difficult.
Built-in washing machines of different manufacturers differ in capacity and depth. The height of almost everyone is the same and is 82 centimeters
Advantages and disadvantages of such a technique
The main advantage of the built-in technique is its invisibility to the eyes and a great chance not to violate the harmonious design, color scheme and general style of the room.
In the kitchen or in the bathroom, the owners can realize their most vivid interior fantasies without worrying about how a standard washing machine will look complete with retro furniture, Empire cabinets or a hi-tech suite.
Of course, this issue can be solved by choosing a more original, luxury model, but having the same set of functions, it will cost much more due to the extraordinary appearance and specific color.
The next indisputable advantage is the ability to intelligently plan the useful area of the kitchen or bathroom.
In a small room in this way you can free up space and visually increase the size, and in a large, spacious room - to avoid external congestion and give additional comfort.
Household appliances optimally concentrated in one room will increase its functionality, significantly facilitate the process of homework and reduce the amount of time spent on them. The hostess will be able to cook favorite dishes and wash clothes at the same time, without fear that the dishes will burn up or something will run away on the stove
The third powerful argument in favor of the purchase is a silent operation and a complete absence of vibration during the washing process. Fasteners fix the position of the unit very clearly and do not allow it to depreciate, slowly loosening and violating the integrity of the furniture cover.
The disadvantages of the products include a much smaller range than conventional analogues. Not all branded manufacturers consider it necessary to produce washing machines designed for installation in furniture blocks.
The low level of competition in this segment is not conducive to cheaper products. Units are more expensive than conventional washers, and this trend has not changed.
True, manufacturers assure customers that they make their devices from higher quality material, which has a solid margin of safety and is able to withstand intense operational load for a long time.
They also promise that the built-in appliances will last much longer and will not let the hosts down at the most crucial moment.
Sometimes it’s impossible to guess the presence of a washing machine in the kitchen. The room looks spacious, bright and seasoned in a single style.
Another parameter that is considered a disadvantage is the mandatory closing of the water supply tap after washing. This is done in order to avoid possible leaks, which will be difficult to quickly detect due to the complete closure of the unit under furniture fragments.
In order not to think about this problem, you should buy a car with a system Aquastop. She will make sure that moisture does not leak out even if the water is not blocked in time.

The main criteria for the selection of units
In order for the purchase of a washing machine to go smoothly and successfully, and the equipment lasts for many years, clearly fulfilling all the functions, it is necessary to determine its basic requirements for functionality and parameters.
When these positions are known, making the right choice will not be difficult at all.
The main characteristics of washing
The ability of a machine to cope with its direct task - washing - is influenced by indicators such as:
- spaciousness unit (one-time loading);
- washing class (quality);
- spin (level and strength);
- number of programs (the presence of a delicate or hand wash, etc.).
Capacity indicator means how much dry laundry can be loaded into the machine in one washing session. This is a very important parameter that must be taken into account.
For a family of 2-3 people, an aggregate of 3 kilograms is enough. For 4-6 people, you will need a device that holds 5-6 kilograms of dry laundry.
If there are children in the family, it is better to buy equipment with a margin, since there will be a lot of washing, and processing a large volume at a time is much more productive than loading a couple of things and turning on the device several times a day
A washing class means the quality of cleaning the laundry and is marked in Latin letters from "A" before "G".
Litera "A" shows the highest quality of processing, ideal for white things, delicate fabrics, bedding made of satin or soft natural cotton.
If it is supposed to wash simpler things or work clothes, you can choose a unit with a lower class.
We talked more about the class of washing and the method of its determination in this material.
The built-in machine, which has a washing class of level “A”, gently removes dirt from the thinnest fabrics and delicate things. However, the cost of such a "helper" seriously exceeds the simpler counterparts. In order not to pay too much, you should initially think about whether such a washing regimen is required in a large amount and whether it makes sense to pay for it
The ability to spin is also classified and indicated by letters. Spin class "A" It is considered the highest and means that after washing, the minimum possible amount of moisture remains after washing.
Class Aggregates "B" and "C" They are considered optimal for domestic use and combine high-quality spin and loyal value.
Designations "D" and "E" show that the appliance depresses laundry weaker. The farther the letter is from the beginning of the alphabet, the lower the spin level of the washing machine.
True, this parameter is not so simple. If the technique for the most part launches delicate items, then a strong spin does not make sense.
It exerts excessive pressure on the fabric and can even deform products. Therefore, it is quite possible to save money and dwell on average indicators.
The list of washing programs in some machines is incredibly large, however, when buying, you should objectively relate to their number and really see what options are really needed, and without which you can completely do without
It is better to buy a model that contains in the playlist the most commonly used programs, such as:
- washing cotton (including heavily soiled);
- processing things from synthetics;
- washing colored fabrics.
This is a basic set, which is appropriate to complement with washing delicate fabrics, if there are a lot of things from silk, chiffon, fine viscose and other light and thin materials.
The mode of washing the wool will greatly facilitate life, especially in the autumn-winter period of time, and the daily washing program will become a real lifesaver for families with small children.
If you wish, you can add the “hand wash” mode, which replaces the washing of delicate items and woolen items.
Definition of technical parameters
When choosing the perfect washing machine suitable for installation in kitchen or bathroom sets, you need to take into account such technical parameters as:
- unit dimensions;
- energy class;
- device control type;
- water consumption;
- additional functions.
Dimensions the purchased machine is a very important and significant characteristic that allows you to correctly and harmoniously introduce household appliances into the space of the kitchen or bathroom. Details about the standard sizes of washers and their influence on the choice of equipment we talked about here.
Most models load frontally and in rare cases vertically.
In form, the units are divided into:
- full-sized;
- flat;
- compact.
Full size the modules look solid, but have large dimensions, which can be a problem for a small kitchen or bathroom.
Flat the washers are of medium thickness and fit neatly even in medium-sized rooms.
Cars compact type have the smallest size. This can be achieved by reducing the capacity and a serious reduction in internal volume.
A compact washing machine is very easy to integrate into any type of furniture set. However, it should be remembered that such units have a limited load level and usually it does not exceed 3.5 kilograms
Designation power consumption shows how many electricians the technician “eats” during the washing process of 1 kilogram of laundry. Progressive modern units have an indicator "A ++". This indicates the highest economy.
A machine with such properties spends 1 kg of laundry from 0.12 to 0.15 kW / h for washing. This point often becomes decisive when buying, because the cost of energy is growing all the time.
Washing machines with a low consumption class electricians are initially cheaper, but more expensive during operation. For “A ++” class units, the base price is much higher, but then using such a device is much cheaper. How to save, the owners will have to decide on their own
Controlled washing machine in two ways: mechanical and electronic. In the first embodiment, suitable washing parameters are selected and set by turning the knobs located on the front panel.
The electronic system is much more modern, simple and equipped with a friendly, intuitive interface. The user simply loads things into the tank and activates the processing mode, indicating only the type of linen.
Further, the technician independently sets the most suitable washing method, optimal water temperature and spin level.
If the choice seems not entirely successful or the user wants to change something, just press 2-3 buttons or touch the sensors, activating the necessary parameters.
A wash with an electronic panel is more expensive than analogues controlled by mechanics, but it looks more modern and at times simplifies maintenance and operation. Around mechanical turn signals, fat and dirt particles accumulate over time, which are problematic to clean. It’s enough to wipe the touchpad with microfiber sometimes with a small amount of glass cleaner, and it will always shine like brand new
Cost Machines equipped with electronic control are usually higher, but the costs are worth it. Models very economically consume water during the washing process and consume the minimum amount of electricity (consumption class A ++).
Do you already have or are you just going to install a water meter? In this case, we recommend that you pay attention to water flow rate for the chosen model, otherwise, for every extra drop you have to pay substantial funds.
The average consumption is calculated for a standard wash of cotton linen at a base water temperature of 60 degrees. The smaller it is, the more loyal the family will see in the water bills.
In terms of additional functions, models are often very different from each other, but among customers, options such as "Delayed start timer" and mode “Half wash”.
If you have the first option on the control panel, you can independently set the time to start the machine, for example, activate washing at night or on weekends, when the preferential tariff for electricity is applied.
“Half wash” allows you to process a small amount of laundry, while reducing total water consumption and reducing the time of cleaning things
Concealed installation of a built-in washing machine in a glossy kitchen set. Features and tricks of arrangement from a professional furniture maker:
