What to consider when buying an integrated washing machine
- Measuring up before buying any home appliance is key, but you've got to be particularly careful with integrated appliances as you're dealing with a particularly tight space - no room for mistakes! And make sure to check there's enough space for the pipes too so your washing machine fits perfectly into place once all connected.
- Check the door hinge position correctly aligns with your kitchen layout. Some integrated washing machines will only work with either right or left-hinged doors, so it's important to check the washing machine you've chosen works with the rest of your kitchen's layout.
- Look out for noise reduction features as integrated washing machines are typically placed in kitchens, the sociable hub of the home.
