Hanging washing machine. Wall-mounted washing machine: features of models, installation possibilities (20 photos)
The recipe for success is to do what you love, investing maximum time and effort into it. At the same time, you need to be in shape: rest well, take care of yourself, dress neatly. There is not enough energy for household chores, and household appliances come to the rescue. A new product on the market is a wall-mounted washing machine that can solve problems associated with washing clothes.
Let’s figure out what’s good about this model and who it’s suitable for, what are the features of installing and operating ultra-compact equipment. We have compiled a rating of the best wall-mounted washing machines, indicated their operating parameters and provided user reviews. A review of the models will help you decide on the choice of a home assistant.
Wall-mounted household appliances are convenient, and many manufacturers have probably thought about creating such washing machines. However, only a few companies have so far managed to implement the project and launch operating models on the market. Daewoo is rightfully considered the market leader; it was the Korean brand that created the first mounted unit.
Miniature wall-mounted machines are available for sale. They can be found in large shopping centers and ordered from some online stores. However, such offers come across rarely. Not every store where a wall-mounted washing machine is listed in the catalog has it in stock.
There is a huge variety of washing machine models. Each of them is good in its own way, but they all have one common characteristic - the floor installation method. Mounted units are fundamentally different - they are mounted on the wall
Not many of our compatriots have decided to buy a unique washing machine, but there are still enough of them that you can familiarize yourself with the results of test drives, user reviews and draw your own conclusions. Like any household appliance, wall-mounted units have their own disadvantages, limitations and operating features.
To make a sober decision about the feasibility of a purchase, it makes sense to compare the model with other types of washing machines:

Over time, Daewoo has diversified the range of wall-mounted units, the quality of washing has improved, the design has changed slightly, and options for delaying start and hygienic cleaning of the drum have been added. The features of different models, their functionality and user reviews are displayed in the rating of wall-mounted washing machines.
Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV703W
Quiet and hard-working little thing with a set of practical washing programs
The Korean-assembled mini-machine is a typical representative of wall-mounted units. Compact dimensions allow you to install the washing machine in a bathroom of any size; the design of the washing machine is universal, so it will fit perfectly into the interior of different styles.
Despite its modest size, the manufacturer managed to implement a number of useful technologies in the DWD-CV703W model. The machine has an inverter motor, which guarantees long service life and quiet operation. An interesting development is a star-shaped drum with small holes for water supply. The design of the tub prevents laundry from getting stuck and getting snagged.
Technical specifications:
- capacity – 3 kg;
- energy consumption/efficiency classes of washing and spinning – A/A and E;
- programs – 6;
- options – child lock, display, drum balancing/foam control, timer, tank cleaning option, super rinse;
- weight – 17.3 kg;
- Dimensions – 55x32x60 cm.
The unit operates quite quietly. The noise level declared by the manufacturer does not exceed 54 dB during washing mode, and 64 dB during spinning. The DWD-CV703W washing machine can be placed not only in the bathroom, but also in the kitchen - it will not distract you with loud operation.
Loading laundry into the machine is very convenient; the hatch size is 26 cm. The selected washing parameters are displayed on a small display.
The model is praised for its beautiful design, ease of use, and the ability to quickly and efficiently wash clothes. However, some buyers note the difficulty of installation - the unit must be fixed only to a strong, flat wall. No anchors included.
Advantages
- Has a super rinse function
- Tank cleaning option
- Availability of fast mode - 29 minutes
- Low noise level
- Good quality of washing clothes
Flaws
- No protection against leaks
- Installation requirements
- No pump - drain by gravity
Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV702W
Wall-mounted washing machine is an excellent solution if there is not enough space in the apartment
The model is not much different from its brother – the DWD-CV703W washing machine. Its capacity is also 3 kg, the user can choose from 6 washing programs, there is a delay start, a functional display indicating the remaining time and a child lock.
Distinctive features: the presence of partial protection against leaks and increased speed in the spin mode.
Technical specifications:
- capacity – 3 kg;
- energy consumption/efficiency classes of washing and spinning – A/B and D;
- drum rotation intensity – 800 rpm;
- programs – 6;
- options – child lock, display, drum balancing/foam control, timer, body leakage protection, super rinse;
- weight – 16.5 kg;
- Dimensions – 55x29x60 cm.
Almost all buyers speak positively about the operation of the wall-mounted washing machine. I'm pleased with the opportunity to save space in a small bathroom, beautiful design and a sufficient range of washing modes. The noise level during operation is low, however, if the installation is poor and the fixation is weak, the unit can vibrate strongly during the spin cycle.
DWD-CV702W will be a good solution for smart apartments where one or two people live. To serve a larger number of users, it is better to look at an alternative option, for example, with a load of 4-5 kg.
Advantages
- There is a signal about the end of the wash
- Beautiful design
- Quiet operation
- Express wash mode available
- Housing leak protection
Flaws
- Complaints about vibration during spin cycles
- Labor intensity of installation
- Water drains by gravity
Xiaomi MiniJ Wall-Mounted White
A teardrop machine with advanced functionality and the ability to control from a smartphone
A high-tech new product from the Chinese brand Xiaomi attracts attention with its unusual design - the body is made in the form of an inverted drop. The device control is located on the door, made of black tempered anti-reflective glass. When turned off, the display does not light up, only the power button is visible.
The model is equipped with a quiet motor, the door seal is made of antibacterial material, preventing the growth of bacteria. There is a hygienic drum cleaning mode, a high temperature washing program (+95°C), and separate cycles for silk items, underwear and shirts.
Technical specifications:

- Dimensions – 58x35x67 cm.
An important competitive advantage is the ability to control from your phone. The user will be able to remotely set the start time, receive information about the end of the wash, and view statistics on water and electricity consumption.
It is too early to talk about the performance of the MiniJ Wall-Mounted White unit. The model recently entered the consumer market, and due to its high cost and shortage in the retail network, the demand for a “smart” washing machine is limited.
Advantages
- Heating water up to 95°C
- Smartphone control
- Drum hygienic cleaning mode
- Setting the beep volume
- Display with sleep mode
Flaws
- High price
- Difficult to find in retail outlets
- The smartphone application and display are not Russified
- No protection against leaks
Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701 PC
Top seller - the world's first wall-mounted unit
The world's first wall-mounted washing machine. It was this model that served as the prototype for the creation of subsequent miniature mounted units. The DWD-CV701 PC has a streamlined shape, the color is silver, the control buttons and display are located at the bottom of the front side of the case under the door.
Technical specifications:
- capacity – 3 kg;
- energy consumption/efficiency classes of washing and spinning – A/B/C;
- drum rotation intensity – 700 rpm;
- programs – 6;
- options – button locking, display, foam/imbalance control, partial leakage protection, super-rinse;
- weight – 17 kg;
- Dimensions – 55x29x60 cm.
The washing machine appeared on the market more than seven years ago and has already managed to gain popularity. A large number of user reviews confirm the demand for the ultra-compact format.
Some have adapted the mini-unit for summer use at the dacha - the machine does an excellent job of washing non-bulky items (T-shirts, shorts, T-shirts and underwear).
DWD-CV701 PC works quite quietly and does not “jump” in spin mode, provided that it is installed correctly. Users advise mounting the washing machine with chemical anchors. In addition, when connecting to the water supply, you must take into account that the water hose cannot be pulled out after installation.
Advantages
- Intuitive controls
- There is housing protection against leaks
- Super rinse mode
- Detailed instructions in Russian
- Quiet operation
Flaws
- The fasteners included in the kit do not fit
- No delay start
- After a couple of years, the bearings are likely to fail
Pros and cons of a mounted unit
A mini wall-mounted washing machine has several significant advantages over its floor-standing counterparts:
- Quiet operation. One of the main complaints about washing machines is the loud noise during the spin cycle. The wall-mounted model makes sounds when operating, but they cannot be heard in the next room. You can do laundry at any time of the day without the risk of waking up your family.
- No vibration. Another problem that washing machine owners face is vibration. For a suspended model this would be truly dangerous, because... the structure may simply fall off the wall during the spin cycle. To minimize vibration, the developers of mini-units used special seals.
- Easy to clean. Floor-standing models eliminate the possibility of cleaning underneath them. To clean the floors, I had to move bulky equipment. There are no such difficulties with a suspended structure: nothing interferes with general cleaning.
- Ease of downloading. To put laundry in the machine or get it out after washing, you don’t have to bend over, which is inconvenient, and it’s also painful for older people with bad backs or pregnant women. If you install the mini-machine correctly, you can load things with maximum comfort.
- Economical. Washing programs are reduced, so water and energy consumption is minimal.
- Ergonomic design. The models are compact and stylish looking. The design is designed so that the device does not clutter up the space, and thanks to the rounded corners it is impossible to get hurt on the machine.
The disadvantages include a small drum volume and not the highest quality of washing. Such models are really not suitable for a large family, and they wash and spin sometimes worse than floor-standing machines of class A. But small-format equipment is indispensable if you need to quickly put things in order after a working day.
By and large, the main disadvantage of a wall-mounted washing machine is its high cost. Poor people who don’t have to wash things in large quantities can afford such a purchase.
Installation and connection may be difficult. It is difficult to install a mini-machine yourself, even despite its low weight and the presence of manufacturer’s instructions. There are few specialists with experience in such work, because the model appeared recently and is not particularly popular. This automatically leads to an increase in the cost of the service.
The compact electric assistant is ideal for a bachelor's apartment. Single people who keep their house in order rarely accumulate mountains of laundry. They usually prefer to wash things as they get dirty. The drum volume is sufficient for a set of casual clothes or bed linen.
In small apartments, sometimes there is not a single extra square centimeter, and there is simply nowhere to install a washing machine. A wall model can be a real salvation
The hanging model is indispensable for families with small children, where mothers have to wash soiled things after every walk. However, you can hardly rely solely on the mounted baby. It is advisable to also have a voluminous standard model for washing bedspreads, bed linen, and blankets.
Features of operation and installation rules
A mini hanging washing machine works the same as a standard floor washing machine. The only difference for the user is the location of the device. As a rule, manufacturers include detailed operating instructions with additional installation illustrations.
Manufacturers of household appliances do not often surprise us. No, of course, a new design of refrigerators (with rhinestones, from a famous designer), a third basket for spoons and forks in the “dishwasher”, a vacuum cleaner with a steam generator - this is good. All this will be useful in the national economy. But I really want to be surprised, for real. Something completely unexpected. Especially now, in the spring. ZOOM.CNews found something to surprise its readers - we tested the Daewoo Electronics wall-mounted washing machine recently introduced in Russia.
Washing by hanging. Test drive of Daewoo Electronics wall-mounted washing machine
Have you ever tried sleeping on the ceiling? They say the blanket is falling. How about washing dishes while standing on your head? They haven't said anything about this yet. How about washing on the wall? Stop. But about this, we have something to say. We were the first in the Russian segment of the Internet to wash on the wall - in a Daewoo Electronics wall-mounted washing machine. The washing result and our impressions of this “washing gadget” are before your eyes.
Epigraph
When the wall-mounted washing machine was presented to journalists in Moscow, many of the media representatives, in the language of diplomats, “expressed bewilderment.” Like, well, we haven’t heard anything about Daewoo Electronics (DE) for a long time, and then, suddenly, another arrival with such a controversial product. It is still not clear how successful this project - a wall-mounted washing machine - will be on the Russian market. Although in South Korea, according to DE representatives, such a mini-machine is popular. It has been on sale there for over a year now.
At the presentation of the wall-mounted washing machine from Daewoo Electronics, journalists were made to understand that the new product is taking washing to a new level... ZOOM.CNews decided to take a closer look at the new “washing star”Wonderful miracle
What is the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini washing machine? Actually, this is an ordinary washing machine, only small. It has front loading laundry. There is a plastic tank and a washing drum (the latter is made of stainless steel, with a “honeycomb” structure - for gentle washing). There is a motor - it is brushless, inverter. Transparent glass loading hatch with a diameter of 26 cm. Control panel. Everything is like “adult” washing machines. Just small (dimensions of the machine are in Table 1).
And yet, there are some things about the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini washing machine that are not like its “big sisters”. There is no pump here, a pump that pumps water out of the machine and drains it when the washing cycle algorithm requires it. In fact, everything happens like in a bathroom - the drain hole opens and the water goes down the drain by gravity. The position of the washing machine allows you to get rid of the pump, in the sense that it hangs on the wall, above the level of the sewer pipes. This means the water will flow down. The solution is as simple as three rubles. Or rather, like three won (the product is Korean). Whether it works, we'll see.
Table 1. Some characteristics of the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini wall-mounted washing machine
indescribable beauty
No, it’s quite “descriptable”, but still definitely beautiful - the car really looks great, modern. This cannot be taken away from her. It will look great in the kitchen, bathroom, or anywhere. But especially, it seems to us, in modern apartments, for example, in apartments with a minimalist design, with a design with hi-tech elements. The cubic shape of the car, the silver front panel, the glass round hatch... “Cosmic music floats into our business conversation...” Yes, the South Korean manufacturer did everything right with the appearance of the product.
Installation issue
Mounting the machine (hanging it) on the wall is not difficult. The instructions tell you everything about this. But if you doubt your installation abilities, specially trained people will hang it for you (Daewoo Electronics says that the service personnel of the stores where these machines are sold have undergone special training). I must say that the installation instructions are very detailed, with explanations and photographs - I think there should be no problems.
Please note that the mini washing machine should only be hung on a load-bearing wall (monolithic or brick walls without voids). No plasterboard partitions or other “fake” walls. The manufacturer insists on this - he knows better. The reasons are, in general, clear. The machine itself weighs 16.5 kg. Plus laundry (3 kg), plus water. Add to this the washing process itself, which, especially during spinning, gives rise to vibration (although the manufacturer claims that it is minimal and almost imperceptible - let’s check). All this, you see, somewhat limits the user - it turns out that you can’t hang this beautiful thing wherever you want, but only where there is a permanent wall. In addition, there should be no problems with communications (we remember that used water flows out of the machine by gravity, which means there should be as few obstacles as possible on its way to the sewer pipe - bends, turns, height differences). In general, all these points should be taken into account - a little extra “headache” for the user.
Why is all this needed?
Then. The manufacturer would like to respond. But this won’t work with us - we are corrosive. So, a wall-mounted washing machine has several purposes. Or rather, the main thing is to wash it well. But there are related issues and questions. Who and what, for example, will wash in this small machine with a load of up to 3 kg of laundry? Whatever you say, our people most often wash a lot of things at once, because they don’t want to “idle” a washing machine with a load of, for example, 6-8 kg (after all, not everyone has “smart” models that can weigh laundry and, depending on the degree of contamination, use the right amount of water, detergent, and use electricity optimally).
The answers to the indicated questions offered by the manufacturer are as follows. Firstly, Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC comes in handy as an auxiliary machine. For example, wash socks, underwear, some favorite sweater or jeans. I see, right? There is a main machine - for mountains of bed linen, blankets, other large laundry, and there is an auxiliary one, for some everyday “laundries”. Secondly,-Kids' things. It is assumed that young parents can buy the machine in order to wash diapers and baby vests separately from other things - it seems to be safer this way. Okay, accepted. Although, as it seems to us, it’s quite normal for all this to be washed in a regular machine. Or are there any problems? You can answer in the comments to the text. Finally, thirdly, the little Daewoo Electronics is positioned as a washing machine for bachelors. Supposedly, if a bachelor washes everything as it gets dirty, rather than accumulating it, it will be convenient. As for bachelor bedding, that will fit too. All at once, because the weight of a cotton bedding set (pillowcase, sheet, duvet cover) does not exceed 2 kg. Another kilo in reserve.
Software and more
Before we start washing, let's talk about what the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC can do. How she does laundry. And like this. There are several washing programs: “Cold water” (wash without heating, lasts only 29 minutes), “Cotton 40°C” (a classic washing program suitable for many things), “Cotton 60°C” (another classic of the genre), “ Delicate wash" (actually, for delicate items), "Children's clothing 80°C", "Spin", "Rinse+Spin" (without washing). In our opinion, all the “main” programs that are most often needed by the “eraser” are here.
Note that the manufacturer does not hide the washing class of the Daewoo Electronics machine - it is B (washing classes are assigned to washing machines after special tests, which always pass according to an algorithm approved for these purposes). Is this scary (which is not A, but B)? Not at all. If we talk about people with one hundred percent vision, of whom there are not so many, then in 95% of cases such a person simply will not see the difference between washing class A and B - it is so small. In any case, the machine will be tested to see if it can wash.
Spin. Here it is class C - 700 rpm. The user cannot change the intensity, but it is different for each program. The instruction manual contains information about this. For example, the “Cold Water” cycle implies the most intense spin (700 rpm), and the “Delicate Wash” - medium intensity (400 rpm). The energy efficiency class of the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini washing machine is A.
Wall tests
It's time to get down to business. First, we stain our clothes with ketchup. Lightly rub the ketchup over the clothes, let them sit for an hour, “sweat”, waiting for their time - the hour of wall washing. It is important that the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC washes everything - this is its main purpose. Ketchup is a very possible way to contaminate everyday clothes. At the same time, it is rarely ground or rubbed into clothes. So we made things more difficult for our mini-test subject.
They stained it, rubbed it in, dried it, and put it in the washing machine. We wash three things: a small terry towel and two cotton T-shirts. The machine is not fully loaded - there is no more than a kilogram of laundry in it. But this is a completely real-life story - several things got dirty by accident and were “thrown in the wash.” This washing machine, by the way, is just for such situations too.
Next, you need to “use” the detergent - washing powder. In this sense, the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC is very convenient and well thought out. The containers for powder and conditioner are removable and shaped like spoons. It is convenient to scoop up a little powder with one of them, and pour conditioner into the other. The containers are easily returned to their place and locked by turning them clockwise (there are arrows on the body to help the user navigate).
Close the door and select a washing program. Perhaps it will be washed at a water temperature of 60°C - the ketchup should be washed off from cotton items. The washing process takes 65 minutes (without additional rinses, which can be added if desired - there is a special button for this, the maximum number is five). Okay, let's turn on the washing machine and go have some tea. Although no, first let’s listen to it a little - let’s enjoy the sounds of washing. I must say that I had to listen closely - it washes very quietly, except that splashes and overflows of water give away our little one. But this is a wash, let’s listen to it during the spin cycle.
The main thing is not to miss this moment, the moment when our beautiful Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini washing machine starts spinning. And we didn't miss it. There are three minutes until the end of the wash - the spin cycle is in full swing. The moment of truth, one might say. The entire Russian representative office of Daewoo Electronics gathered in the room where the test took place! What can we tell you? The car behaved with dignity. Firstly, it did not press loudly - it was completely within 60 dB (measurements were made with a household sound level meter ATT-9080, error - ± 3 dB, measurement conditions were working - during the test, in a non-soundproof room). As for the vibration, while the baby was doing push-ups, we touched her sides and top with our hands, and even touched her cheek. They put keys and keychains on it, but they didn’t just put a vase of flowers on it. The conclusion is that there is no strong vibration. The machine is securely attached to the wall using four anchors, and there are anti-vibration pads. No, we wouldn’t put a vase of flowers on it, but the neighbors behind the wall, that’s for sure, won’t have their dishes fall out of the cupboard because of the spin of the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC. Vibration is minimal and, so to speak, balanced (in the sense that during the spin cycle the machine only vibrates slightly evenly). We believe that the Daewoo Electronics mini wall-mounted washing machine passed the spin test with flying colors.>
Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC. Spin fragment. If you listen closely, you can hear a comment from one of the manufacturer’s technical specialists in the video. The specialist says that “it makes no louder noise than the indoor unit of the air conditioner.” This is a disclaimer. Everything is good, but not that good. I meant, of course, the outdoor unit
Next is monitoring the washing result. We take the laundry out of the washing machine and study it. There are no questions - all the ketchup was washed off in an hour of washing at a temperature of 60°C. Moreover, there were not even any “reminders” of it left, in the form of, for example, pale redness on the fabric. No, nothing - things are clean. Let us refrain from overly lofty epithets (“pristinely pure”!), but all things are pure. The mini car did it. I washed light-colored clothes stained with natural (according to the manufacturer) ketchup. Even though the washing class here, let us remind you, is B. Well done.
Epilogue
So, the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini wall-mounted washing machine. After we tried it at work, our skepticism about this product decreased. That's for sure. Firstly, no problems with the actual washing - the machine washed everything. Secondly, it is easy to use - there were no difficulties, inconsistencies, or inconveniences in the process of “communicating” with it. Thirdly, it is quiet and vibrates little during the spin cycle - neighbors behind the wall will not sue you.
As for the need of our citizens for a similar format of washing (it is not a “mountain” of things that are washed, but some, perhaps frequently used things, as they become dirty) - it is more complicated. Of course, there will be people, and probably not too few, who will like this kind of washing - in small volumes. But it definitely won’t become a mass phenomenon, I think. So little Daewoo Electronics is, perhaps, a must have (obligatory purchase) for a gadget lover, a sort of “fashionable thing” in the apartment of a fashionable city slicker (like the light music in the Russian film “Crew”)... Yes, undoubtedly, the car will find demand among young people parents who are inclined to take a special approach to raising their offspring (the majority will continue to wash children’s clothes in a “regular” washing machine - there is little doubt), and who also have a little “extra” money. Among bachelors, owners of small apartments (all sorts of “small families”) - the car may also gain popularity.
After all, the smallest forms of “regular” washing machines (compact), for example, Candy Aquamatic, Zanussi FCS, Eurosoba, also hold 3-3.5 kg of clothes. And nothing. People do their laundry in them and are often quite happy with the results. But not everyone has the space to install these compact models (even though there is an option to install them under the bathroom sink, for example). And here is Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC. The loading is the same, the dimensions are smaller, it doesn’t take up space on the floor, and it’s also unusual and beautiful... Why not, why not Daewoo? Moreover, in terms of price, all these machines - our heroine and her compact competitors of the classic form factor - are quite comparable. And Eurosoba is noticeably more expensive...
4636
The final conclusion is clear. The Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini washing machine is an interesting, useful product, which, without a doubt, will be useful to many and will help solve the “washing issue” or (as, for example, an auxiliary machine) will make washing a more comfortable, economical, thoughtful process. High-quality washing on the wall is possible! Verified by ZOOM.CNews.

Table 4. The main pros and cons of the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC mini wall-mounted washing machine. According to ZOOM.CNews
* - All prices in the material are indicated based on the results of monitoring of Russian online stores. As of March 2013. Depending on the region, the cost of equipment may vary.
Every year, household appliances are becoming more and more refined and improved, which makes it possible to select the required model by design, size, color, and technical characteristics. Especially for owners of apartments with small bathrooms, Daewoo has released a fundamentally new and modern wall-mounted washing machine, characterized by its small size and ease of use.
The wall-mounted washing machine from Daewoo has been very popular in Korea for quite some time. This is the most common front-loading automatic washing machine, small in size, which can be very easily mounted on the wall and thereby significantly save space in the bathroom.
The device kit consists of:
- Plastic tank;
- Drum made of stainless steel;
- Electric motor.
Structurally, such a machine differs from standard dimensional models in the absence of a pump that pumps out and drains waste water if this is provided for in the washing program. Since the wall-mounted machine is located on the wall above the level of the sewer pipes, this means that the water can drain on its own and does not need to be specially pumped out of the tank.
However, its only drawback is that the maximum weight of a load of laundry is only 3 kg.
Thanks to the spin speed of 700 rpm, the laundry is almost dry after washing. The washing machine has 6 washing programs, which is why you can easily wash an item made from any fabric. The maximum possible washing temperature is 60 ᵒC. It has a washing class B, however, despite this, it copes well with heavy soiling, and can also remove old and greasy stains.
When testing a wall-mounted washing machine, the result impressed the experts, as the device copes with its task well and easily washes even the most difficult stains. In addition, a big advantage is that there is virtually no noise or vibration during its operation, with the exception of spinning and draining water. However, these processes do not cause any discomfort at all.
Advantages of the Daewoo wall-mounted washing machine
The Daewoo wall-hung washing machine, despite its small dimensions and minimal laundry capacity, has gained great popularity since its introduction. The wall-mounted washing machine from Daewoo has certain advantages and some disadvantages.
Among the main advantages of this device are the following:
- Small dimensions;
- Stylish appearance;
- Possibility of quick washing;
- Quiet operation;
- Economical;
- Good quality.
A wall-mounted washing machine fits very well into the design of a bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, or pantry. Such units do not have a pump that can pump out and drain water into the sewer. That is why the washing machine needs a direct connection to the communications located under the device.
Pipes for supplying and draining water must be straight; it is unacceptable to have a large number of bends.
Installation cannot be performed on foam blocks, drywall, or plastic. Installing a wall-mounted washing machine is a rather complicated process, which is why it is important to strictly follow the instructions. To be absolutely sure that the device is installed correctly, it is advisable to contact a specialist.
Disadvantages of Daewoo wall-mounted washing machine
When installing a wall-mounted washing machine, you need to remember that only strong, load-bearing walls, load-bearing or monolithic, are suitable for this. It is important to take care of the strength of the wall in advance, as this will allow you to avoid damage in the future if the device falls. Despite all the advantages of a wall-mounted washing machine from Daewoo, users still highlight certain disadvantages.
In particular, such as:
- The equipment cannot cope with large volumes of laundry;
- The spin function is weaker compared to other types of machines;
- Installation may cause certain difficulties;
- The cost is quite high.
The appearance of such a washing machine is simply amazing and impresses with its sophistication. Thanks to its stylish design, such a device can easily fit into the interior of every ultra-modern apartment, which is made with high-tech elements.
The silver front panel with a round glass hatch can become a real decoration for absolutely any bathroom, regardless of its stylistic decision.
This type of washing machine is chosen by practical people who can tastefully furnish even a small apartment and are accustomed to appreciating free space. It is better to hang it at or slightly above eye level. It is very convenient to load laundry into such a washing machine and distribute it inside the drum.
Installation of a wall-mounted washing machine
A special requirement for mounting a washing machine on a wall is a solid wall without internal voids, which can easily withstand the load and the presence of nearby sewer pipes. According to the manufacturer itself, it can be used as an additional washing machine, for washing children’s clothes, as a device for single people, for quickly cleaning the necessary things.
Wall-mounted models are mounted using additional parts, namely, such as:
- Drain hose;
- Anchor bolts;
- Power cable;
- Water filter;
- Water intake hose;
- Pipe branch;
- Outlet fitting.
The principle of installing a wall-mounted washing machine is similar to connecting standard appliances. The device is fastened to a strong and reliable wall using 4 anchors. A drain and water intake, as well as a fitting, will be required to connect the machine to the water supply.
It is important to prepare in advance the most suitable place for installation, to check the functionality of the water supply, as this will avoid leaks.
The drain hose as standard is not very long, which is why it is necessary to provide all the main nuances to ensure easy access to the sewer. Difficulties in installing a wall-mounted washing machine may be due to the fact that many craftsmen have not encountered installing such devices. However, the instructions are quite simple and accessible.

The Daewoo wall-mounted washing machine is a fairly good and functional device, easy to use and guarantees high quality washing of products made from absolutely any fabric.
Every year, household appliances are improved and improved, allowing you to choose a model for different purposes of use and different rooms. Especially for owners of bathrooms with a small area, washing machines with compact sizes are produced. One of the options for such equipment with small dimensions is a wall-mounted washing machine. So far, the range of wall-mounted models is small and the only machine of this type is offered by Daewoo.
Characteristics
- The machine's capacity is up to 3 kilograms of laundry per load. This volume is not suitable for a large family, but it will suit one person.
- The spin in the wall-mounted model from Daewoo is class C and is 700 rpm.
- There is no drain pump in this technique, so when installed on the wall, the water will be drained by gravity.
- There are not many washing programs in this machine (only six), but you can wash most types of clothes. There are separate programs for washing cotton items with heating up to +600C, for delicate washing and for children's clothing.
- Washing using this technique belongs to class B, that is, the machine will cope well with light soiling.
- For greater operational safety, it is possible to lock the device from children.
- The wall-mounted model weighs 16.5 kg and its dimensions are 55 by 29 by 60 cm.
pros
- The dimensions of this washing machine are small, so it is suitable for even the tiniest bathroom.
- The machine does not need to be installed on the floor, which frees up bathroom space.
- Loading laundry into such a machine is very convenient, since you do not need to bend over.
- The unit has an attractive appearance due to its fashionable high-tech design. Rounded corners, silver color, round glass hatch - everything looks very elegant.
- Thanks to short washing programs, the machine will wash dirty clothes quite quickly.
- The symbols and numbers on the display are large and therefore clearly visible.
- The device operates very quietly.
- This technique is very economical and has low consumption of electricity, water and washing powder.
- The quality of the machine is very high, since it is produced and assembled in Korea.
Minuses
- In such a machine it will not be possible to wash a large volume of laundry.
- When installing a wall-mounted model, difficulties may arise related to both the installation location and the work of the technician.
- The spin in a wall-mounted machine is much weaker than in a standard technique. The same can be said about the quality of washing.
- The price for the wall-mounted model is quite high.
Testing
When wall-mounted machines from Daewoo went on sale, they were tested. The results of test washes showed that the machine does its job well. Of course, if you compare the quality of washing in a wall-mounted machine with any machine with washing class A, it will be lower. If you compare the Daewoo unit with other washing machines of the same class, the quality will be the same, and other parameters will make the wall-mounted model preferable.
Separately, during testing, it was determined that the machine practically does not vibrate. In addition, its operation is almost silent, unless you take into account the spin and drain cycle. Check this out by watching the video below.
Prices
If we compare the cost of wall-mounted washing machines with standard devices with similar parameters, then Daewoo models cost users more. The average price for such a machine is 16-23 thousand rubles.
Installation Features
Such equipment can only be installed on a solid solid wall that has no internal voids. This can be done not only in the bathroom, but also in the kitchen, laundry room, toilet, pantry or hallway.
Since there is no drain pump in the device, and the drainage is similar to draining water from a bathroom, installation requires finding a suitable location near the sewer pipes. There should be no obstacles for water to exit into the sewer.
The difficulty of installation may also lie in the fact that many craftsmen do not know how to install it due to lack of experience. However, the instructions for the device indicate all the steps, so installation can be done by yourself. And we, in turn, suggest watching a short installation video guide.
Frontal, vertical, small and roomy, with a water tank, under the sink - what kind of washing machines do manufacturers produce in the race for consumer interest! But there is a special type of SMA - wall structures. Our review includes all the models that are on the Russian market today - we will tell you everything we know about them. It is very interesting!
Who might be interested in a wall-mounted washing machine?
Here are a few cases in which a wall-mounted washing machine is useful:
- In an apartment that is for rent- often it doesn’t make sense to buy a full-size expensive machine for such housing, but a small wall-mounted washing machine will come in handy.
- The apartment is a la “studio”. When space is so limited that you can’t fit all the household appliances, the best option is a suspended structure: it won’t take up much space and won’t spoil the design of the room.
- As an additional technique. If you see that one SMA is not coping with the tasks, then replace a good machine with a device with two drums not practical, you can add a wall-mounted version to your machine.
- For those who move frequently. Changes apartments like gloves? In this case, a small machine weighing a couple of kilograms is what you need. It is easy to pack and transport to a new location.
What brands of wall mounted machines are there in the market?
Washing machine on the wall? Yes, nonsense, many will say. That's why almost no one produces them. Perhaps the most technologically advanced corporation in South Korea, Daewoo, shouldered the heavy burden of designing and producing such equipment.
Probably, the developers of the most popular cars in the post-Soviet space decided: “Why should we build a house?” - and collected this miracle Yudo.
On the Russian market you will find only 6 models - but this is a fairly wide range for such a curiosity. All models are made in different designs and colors.
Daewoo suspended automatic machine - what is it?
This unit can only surprise the user with its design - its body resembles an astronaut’s spacesuit or an incomprehensible suitcase with a porthole from science fiction films. The characteristics, of course, are weaker than those of conventional devices:
- Spin speed. The suspended Daewoo can only spin at speeds of 700 or 800 rpm - it is not capable of more. This is not surprising - if the device accelerates more, it will fall off the wall.
- Drying. It would seem, where to shove the dryer here? But it still fit in one model - and it’s wonderful: it hangs on the wall, washes, and also dries, miracles, and that’s all!
- Control. Not only their design is modern, but also their controls - just electronics. In some versions, the buttons and display are traditionally located on the body, and in some models the controls are placed directly on the hatch door - very stylish and convenient.
Advantages and disadvantages
The baby has many advantages:
- Very light. It usually weighs between 16–20 kg, so ensuring that the machine is securely attached to the wall is not difficult - sometimes kitchen cabinets weigh much more.
- Korean production. All crumbs are produced directly in the country where the brand is registered - South Korea, so there is no doubt about the quality.
- Roomy. Do you think that a drum that can hold up to 3 kg is not enough? Look at the machine itself - it itself is like a drum in size, so it can hold a lot in relation to the space it takes up.
- Economical- most models have a confident energy efficiency class A. It saves not only space, but also electricity.
- Star drum- there are small holes in such a drum, so the risk of snags on things is minimal. A kind of analogue of a honeycomb drum.
- Very convenient detergent receptacles- made in the shape of a spoon for precise dosage and separated from each other to avoid mixing the powder (gel) with the conditioner.
- Silence and the absence of vibrations are achieved due to the inverter motor and special rubber gaskets.
Are there any disadvantages? If you delve into the ins and outs, omit the promises of marketers and take a sober look at things, then there are disadvantages:
- Few programs. Usually these are 6 main modes - do not overclock. But if you take the washing machine as an additional one, then this will be enough.
- Requires site preparation for installation. In order for the SMA to look harmonious in the interior, before hanging the washing machine on the wall, you need to hide all communications and drill reliable holes in the wall. By the way, not just any wall is suitable - you only need to choose a load-bearing wall, but a thin one will not work.
You may find useful information from the user on installing the device yourself:
- Difficult to get. On the Internet you can find such models in DNS or M.Video, but offline you will have to work hard to find a store where such a design is available in order to touch it and see with your own eyes whether such SMA is suitable for you or not.
- Installation of the device requires skills and tools.
