When comparing washing machines, I notice that the measurement given for ‘depth’ varies quite a bit. I need to replace mine, preferably with one slightly less deep, so I went to measure it – but can’t work out if I should be measuring the physical ‘front to back’ of the box, or including the bits and pieces on the back which prevent it going right back to the wall. Can anyone tell me how the manufacturers measure the depth? Thank you! ❓
You will need to measure the total depth of the machine including any lumps which may protrude from the back of the machine or if the lid overhangs. In the main most machines are 60cm deep.
However some manufacturers produce slightly narrower ones and Bosch have a slimline one at only 40cm deep. So whatever the measurement, you will be able to replace it with no problem at all.
