Testing
When the wall-mounted machines from Daewoo appeared on the market, they were tested. The results of the test washes showed that the machine does its job well. Of course, if you compare the quality of washing in the wall-mounted machine with any machine with washing class A, it will be less. If we compare the unit from Daewoo with other washing machines of the same class, the quality will be the same, and other parameters will make the wall-mounted model preferable.
Separately, during testing, it was determined that the machine practically does not vibrate. In addition, its operation is almost silent, if you do not take into account the spin and drain cycle. See for yourself by watching the video below.
Prices
If you compare the cost of wall-mounted washing machines with standard machines with similar parameters, the Daewoo models cost users more. The average price for such a machine is 16-23 thousand rubles.
Features of installation
It is possible to install such a technique only on a solid solid solid wall, in which there are no internal voids. You can do this not only in the bathroom, but also in the kitchen, laundry room, toilet, pantry or corridor.
Since there is no drain pump in the unit, and the drain is the same as the bathroom drain, you need to find a suitable place for installation near the sewage pipes. The water should not have any obstacles to the exit to the sewer.
The difficulty of installation may also be that many craftsmen do not know how to install it due to lack of experience. However, the instructions to the device specifies all the steps, so the installation can be carried out with your own hands. And we, in turn, offer to watch a small video guide on installation.
