How much does an Indesit washing machine weigh?

Before purchasing a new "home assistant," consider not only its capacity, price, and features, but also the price. As a rule, few buyers immediately check the weight of an Indesit washing machine, considering this parameter unimportant and uninformative. However, knowing the machine's weight can help predict its future stability and transport difficulties. We encourage you to take a closer look and find out the average weight of Indesit appliances and other related specifications.

How to find out the weight?

To find out how much a washing machine weighs, there's no need to scale it. It's much more convenient and civilized to find out the weight of an Indesit from the technical data sheet, which always lists all operating specifications. However, consulting the user manual isn't always possible: sometimes the document simply gets lost, or the information provided is incorrect, as it covers multiple models.

The weight of the washing machine must be specified in the technical data sheet and factory instructions.

If you can't find the dimensions the easy way, get creative. Open a search engine and search for your washing machine model online. Many manufacturers post electronic copies of instructions on their official websites, making life easier for buyers.. True, it is almost impossible to find technical data sheets of old cars online.

Another option is to search for a washing machine in popular online stores. Open the Eldorado, M.Video, or Yandex.Market websites and search for a similar product. Sellers almost always provide all the technical specifications of their machines, including weight. However, there's no 100% guarantee that this information is accurate—it's purely indicative.

Why does the manufacturer add weight?

In pursuit of a compact washing machine, buyers often choose smaller models, unaware of the advantages of "heavy" ones. However, if you compare two machines with absolutely identical capabilities, power, and functionality, differing only in weight by 5 kg, the "lighter" option wins. The fact is that during the wash cycle, the rotating drum generates centrifugal force, which attempts to push the items out of the drum. The higher the motor speed, the greater the load on the housing, the greater the vibration, and the more unstable the machine. It's logical that its weight prevents the machine from bouncing around the apartment. It's easy to conclude that heavy machines have several undeniable advantages:

• they work quieter;
• practically do not vibrate;
• stand more stable;
• have greater capacity and functionality.

The more the machine weighs, the more stable and quiet it is.

Knowing the weight of the washing machine is especially important if you plan to install it in a cabinet or kitchen unit. In this case, the dimensions of the appliance and the cabinet must be matched, otherwise the cabinet will not support the weight and collapse.

When choosing a washing machine, it's also worth considering other factors. For example, a narrow model will always weigh 2-3 kg more, as the support surface of such machines is smaller, and manufacturers try to smooth out any potential imbalance. If you are planning to move soon, it is better to give preference to light equipment. For those who have settled in an apartment for a long time, it is recommended to choose the heaviest machine.

Parameters of individual models

If we generalize all Indesit washing machines, their average weight ranges from 30 to 70 kg. The range is significant, as much depends on the specific model. As a clear example, we provide a weight breakdown of the most popular machines from this manufacturer.

Indesit washing machines weigh between 30 and 70 kg, depending on their size, capacity, and power.

• The Indesit IWUB 4085 is part of the "standard" model line and is very popular with customers. It weighs approximately 66 kg and measures 60 cm wide, 33 cm deep, and 85 cm high.
• The Indesit BWUA 51051 L B is among the most expensive machines, boasting expanded functionality and improved technical specifications. Its dimensions are 57.5 kg and 60 x 35 x 85 cm.
• The Indesit BTW A is a vertical model and one of the lightest of Indesit's machines. It weighs approximately 56 kg and measures 40 cm wide and 60 cm deep.
• Indesit EWSD 51031 BK. A full-size front-loading dishwasher with a removable lid for built-in installation and weighing approximately 63 kg.
• The Indesit BWSE 81082 L B is rightfully considered the heaviest in our "rating," weighing in at over 67 kg. This "heaviness" stems from its increased capacity of 8 kg and its 54 cm depth.

It's easy to see that the weight of Indesit washing machines varies greatly. Often, the difference can reach up to 10 kg, which is extremely significant during transportation and operation. Therefore, we strongly recommend paying attention to the model's weight specifications.
