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.
How much do your door handles stick out? I've bought some similar ones - they look good, but seem a bit impractical, like maybe I will constantly be scratching the cupboards as I try to fit my meaty fingers into the tiny gap between handle and door.
19mm from cupboard front to inside of handle. They’re actually the OG handles from the existing bit of 1949 kitchen before we did the work. Sanded off 70 years of paint and some chrome and they’re solid brass. Lovely.
