It would seem that a compact washing machine with many functions that can be placed in any corner - which could be even better than this option of washing equipment. Imagine there are no boundaries to perfection. Now it is possible to place the same washing machine in a small corner on the wall. This is a very good solution in terms of space saving. In addition, sometimes there is simply no place to place the washing machine on the floor. Therefore, this is a real find and another progress in the niche of washing technology.
Considering that this is a fairly new option, it is still interesting to familiarize yourself with the main characteristics in more detail and understand the specifics of this technique. Therefore, we will consider in detail what a wall washing machine is.
Features of the wall washing machine
Looking ahead, it can be noted that it differs somewhat from the operation of a standard automatic machine. That is, we are talking about the ability to perform basic functions.
Let's highlight those main features inherent in a hanging washing machine.
- In terms of washing volume, it is designed for a modest load of up to 3 kg. That is, for a large seven, this is not the best option, however, sufficient for a bachelor house or, for example, for a guest apartment.
- Its advantage is its surprisingly light weight, which makes it possible to actually mount the unit on the wall. She weighs seventeen kilograms, which allows her to be fastened without fear. Although usually the type of wall is also worth paying attention to. Better when it is not a plasterboard partition. The parameters are also rather modest - 55x29x60, and this allows it to be placed on the wall without creating discomfort.
- Medium spin is acceptable, however. Of course, this is not a super dryer, but still what you can want from a wall device. The machine's revolutions are 700 per minute. At the same time, things come out of it with moderate moisture, but definitely do not need to be manually squeezed.
- Lack of drain pump. Another feature of this technique. The water comes out of the machine using a valve that opens at the right time and releases water directly into the sewer according to the principle of unauthorized release.
- There are six programs for different types of fabrics. Moreover, they are all rather short in time. If we talk about the average operating time, then this is half an hour per cycle.
- Quiet operation of the device, for this it is equipped with a special multi-layer gasket and therefore does not cause vibration. Thus, its work is almost imperceptible, except perhaps during spinning and stacking.
- It is characterized by a level of washing class B, which does not guarantee a brilliant result for washing white items. However, it is sufficient for daily / occasional washing of moderately soiled items.
- High price. The general parameters of the washing machine do not see any extraordinary functionality for that kind of money. However, it is clear that in this case the cost is justified by another, namely its exclusivity.
- The unique version of the washing machine is also characterized by an energy-saving mode of operation. During operation, it can be classified as class A.

Installation and connection
Despite the specifics of the technique, its installation requires all the same connections as the standard:
In principle, the machine is equipped with everything you need, but just this should be checked when buying. For correct installation the kit should include:
- Branch pipe and cord for power supply.
- Two hoses: one for intake, the other for draining water.
- Hose connection.
- Water filter.
- Special fasteners, anchor bolts.
Installation recommendations
