How much does an Ariston washing machine weigh?

Before purchasing a washing machine, people typically check the features list, verify the dimensions, and read customer reviews. However, few people bother to find out how much it weighs. Most buyers believe that knowing the weight of an Ariston washing machine is unnecessary because it's meaningless. However, the weight can provide clues about the best way to transport the machine and how stable it will be during operation. Therefore, it's much better to research the weight characteristics beforehand, and we'll help you with that.

How to get information without weighing the equipment?

You can easily find out the weight of a washing machine even without using a special scale, which might not be available at the supermarket. It's much easier and quicker to consult the device's technical data sheet, which lists all the important specifications. Many people throw away the data sheet or simply lose it after purchasing a washing machine, so it's not always possible to check the weight at home. Furthermore, the technical data sheet sometimes lists data for several models at once, making it impossible to know the specific specifications of your home appliance.

In addition to the technical data sheet, you can also look at the manufacturer's instructions, which often also indicate the weight of the Ariston washing machine.

If you don't have the documents at hand, you can look online. Any search engine will quickly reveal the necessary information—just look at the manufacturer's official website, where companies post electronic copies of the instructions. However, finding the technical data sheet can be difficult.

In such a situation, it is worth turning to online stores where you can find your specific sample through a search. Most often, sellers post detailed information on the product page, including the weight of the equipment. However, no one guarantees that the information published there is 100% accurate, as the data may be indicative.

Choose a heavier CM?

It's a common misconception that the more compact a washing machine is, the better it is, as it takes up less space in the home and is easier to transport. However, if you compare any two identical models with equal power and features, the heavier model will be superior. This is because during operation, the washing machine drum creates centrifugal force, which attempts to push items out of the drum. High motor speeds increase the load on the machine's frame, increase vibration, and cause the machine to bounce, which is detrimental to both the machine itself and the surface it rests on. And if you add an extra 5 kg, the increased weight of the washing machine will protect it from surges. Therefore, heavy-duty Ariston machines have great advantages.

• They can operate quieter than lightweight models.
• The cars hardly vibrate, which means they stand stable and do not jump.
• They have more capacity and rich functionality.

Choose heavy machines if you want the device to operate quietly and not bounce around the apartment.

It's also worth knowing the weight of the Ariston washing machine if it will be built into a cabinet or kitchen unit. This information will help you calculate the load capacity so that the furniture can support the heavy appliance.

Finally, it's important to consider other factors. For example, narrow washing machines always weigh a few kilograms more because their support surface is smaller, so manufacturers intentionally add weight to correct the imbalance. If you are planning to move in the foreseeable future, then a lightweight car will be much easier to transport. Otherwise, it is better to opt for the heaviest models to ensure stability and safety.

Which model is the heaviest?

So how much do standard Ariston washing machines weigh? On average, they range from 57 to 65 kg. This isn't the heaviest on the market, so these models aren't considered particularly heavy. They also have a fairly narrow weight range, so you won't be able to choose a very light or very heavy version. As an example, here are the five most popular models that customers choose.
