Want a new washing machine, but don't have a lot of space? A shallow washing machine is a good choice. These washing machines have a depth of 55cm or less, so they easily fit in a small bathroom or laundry room. Do note that stacking kits don't fit on a shallow washing machine. This means you can't put the dryer on the washing machine. Often wash larger loads of bedding? Choose a model with an 8 or 9kg load capacity.
