Washing Machine Depth
Hi, I'm trying to find a list of washing machines by depth. My kitchen space can take a standard width (600) and height (850) but when it comes to depth it can only take 570.
The previous washing machine was an Hotpoint and had a depth of 580 but the floor plinth didn't fit correctly. It now needs replacing after 11 years of perfect service I want to get one that fits and looks right. Budget of £750 but it's the depth that's the stumbling point.
Ideally I'd like a site that can list all makes by depth and then i can order it by price. Forgot to say - for all you who dislike Hotpoint mines worked without fault for 11 years and gets used at least every other day.
Many thanks
Steve

Query about washing machine depth limits for a 570mm space
- The problem
- The user needed a replacement washing machine to fit a kitchen space limited to 600mm width, 850mm height and 570mm depth. Their previous Hotpoint was 580mm deep and did not fit the floor plinth correctly, so they wanted a shallower model and asked for a way to compare machines by depth within a budget of £750.
- Likely cause
- No appliance fault was discussed. The main issue identified was that many modern washing machines are now deeper than older models because increased drum capacity has largely been achieved by increasing drum depth.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to look at washing machines with smaller drum sizes, as these are more likely to meet the 570mm depth restriction. No specific model list or comparison site was provided.
- Checks to try
- Available installation space stated as 600mm width, 850mm height and 570mm depth
- Previous machine depth stated as 580mm and did not fit the plinth correctly
- Budget stated as £750

Unfortunately most washing machines are deeper now than ever before because a lot of the increase in drum capacity has been made possible by increasing the depth of the drum. You may need to be looking at smaller drum sizes. Washing machines and associated problems with sizes
