Can a freestanding machine be hidden inside a standard kitchen cupboard?
With washing machines "integrated" basically means hidden in a cupboard. It's not like a fridge or a dishwasher where the unit door forms part of appliance door.

Integrated washing machines are shite. We had a Bosch that rattled the door fixed to it so much it would swing around during the spin cycle.
Normal machines are 600mm wide, so you’ll need a gap >620mm, which means a non standard wide door. They’re also much deeper than integrated so you’d need a 700mm worktop if it’s going under one. Depending on who’s making your kitchen that’ll either be fine or impossible.
This is my new solution, wide unit with the bum sticking out the back into our “service core”. Works well. Nice to be able to plug in and plumb from behind.

Washing machines: ours has just died, and I need to buy a replacement.
We're going to do a kitchen extension shortly, hoping to hide the washing machine in a cupboard. Choice of 'integrated' machines is shockingly low; what do people do? Have laundry rooms with freestanding machines?
Can a freestanding machine be hidden inside a standard kitchen cupboard? Which bloody machine should I buy (under £800)? Do I have to spend the next week of my life obsessively websurfing over frikkin white goods?
