Washing machine door size

When buying a new "home assistant," you need to evaluate a variety of characteristics. The obvious ones include cost, drum capacity, cabinet dimensions, software, and energy consumption. Many people forget to check the size of their washing machine's door, which then leads to inconvenience during operation.

Why is the door diameter such an important factor? Firstly, loading bulky items through a narrow opening is difficult. Removing the laundry will also be difficult. Secondly, if the space in front of the washing machine is limited, the door may not open fully, which can also cause some discomfort.

How big are the hatches of different cars?

Manufacturers usually indicate the size of the washing machine door in the model description. You can check the diameter of the loading hatch in advance on the seller's website. The only problem is that sometimes the catalog information differs from the actual size by 1-2 cm. Therefore, if a difference of a couple of centimeters is critical for you, it's best to take your own measurements right in the store before purchasing.

As an example, let's look at the door dimensions of washing machines from the most popular brands. We'll start with machines from the Turkish brand Beko. We'll include not only the door diameter but also the dimensions of the washing machine body—this will make it easier to estimate the overall depth of the machine.
