AI-generated from this discussion

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

No washer-dryer recommendation available for width under 500 mm

The problem
The user wanted a washer-dryer no wider than 500 mm and asked for suitable models.
Likely cause
According to the accepted reply, washer-dryers this narrow are generally not available because there is not enough space to fit the necessary components inside. Older slimline front-loading washing machines existed, but had smaller drum capacities and were not common.
What fixed it
No specific appliance was recommended. The accepted advice was that a washer-dryer under 500 mm wide is not realistically available, and even previous slimline washing machines were limited and short-lived in the market.
Checks to try
  • Requested maximum width of 500 mm
  • Accepted reply stated no suitable washer-dryer was known to exist under that width

Hello. There isn't one as far as I'm aware. No one can produce an appliance that's much smaller than everyone else's because they wouldn't be able to fit all the parts inside - especially with a washer dryer. Historically there have been the odd "slimline" front loading washing machines that were a lot less wide but they never last long (not enough demand) and they always had greatly reduced wash load capacity as they had to have much smaller drums. I have an article about Washing machines and associated problems with sizes which explains it all.
