Choosing a place for your washing machine? Consider the following points.
Where should the washing machine be located?
5 benefits of placing your washing machine in your kitchen:
- less dampness and moisture than in the bathroom, so the metal structures of the unit are less susceptible to corrosion;
- the kitchen area is larger than the bathroom. Intensive air flow improves air circulation. The machine cools down faster during operation;
- it is more convenient to work with linen in the kitchen if the bathroom is very small. When installing the washing machine in a tiny room, the free area will become even smaller. Therefore, it will not be comfortable at all to lay the wash or take out the laundry;
- when installing a washing machine in the kitchen, you do not depend on the moment when the bathroom is occupied by someone from your family and cannot be used;
- By concentrating household appliances in one place, you do not need to run around the apartment to redo your homework. This is especially true for parents with small children or the elderly. This advantage is not available in the bathroom.

4 advantages for installing a washing machine in the bathroom:
- for many users, dirty linen and detergents in the kitchen cause unpleasant associations, so they prefer to install a washing machine in the bathroom;
- good ventilation easily eliminates dampness in the room, thereby preventing corrosion of the washing machine;
- not every user is pleased to dine and contemplate the work of a spinning drum with loaded laundry;
- it is not convenient to soak the laundry (with additional processing before washing) in the bathroom, and then carry it to the kitchen to put the wash in the machine.

When choosing a place for your washing machine, consider 5 important points:
- floor covering... It is better to install the washer on a concrete surface or on a tile with a rough surface. Installed on smooth tiles, parquet, laminate or linoleum, the machine is prone to vibration and movement on the floor;
- consider the distance to the sewer, since the length of the drain hose is 1.5 meters;
- correctly calculate the distance between the machine and the outlet... The standard length of the appliance cord is only 1.5 meters. It is undesirable to use extension cords in order to prevent a short circuit;
- consider the free space for opening the hatch (70-80 cm) if you have a front-loading machine;
- leave a gap when installing 5-10 cm, so that under the influence of vibration the machine does not come into contact with the wall and does not break from constant shock.
