My new apartment has small doors with width of around 52 cm so I need to get a small washing machine, and it seems like there aren’t any good washer/dryer of that size. Do you have any recommendation for a small washing machine or a dryer?
I believe there are single machines in Japan that do both. Not sure about the size. Toshiba makes one, but is expensive, 300K.
It’s probably easiest to go to a big box electronics store and talk to a salesman. I thought Kakaku might have a size filter but it doesn’t appear to. Just don’t get pressured into buying something – tell them you’ll think about it.
Go to Biccamera or Yodobashi and ask the staff for home measurement service. It’s free and they do this exactly for your situation, especially for refrigerator and washing machine.
Someone will come to your house and measure the door, the hallway and the setup place. Then they will give a measurement result and you can bring this to any store and ask around for the size that fit. (If you can get a couple of pamphlet beforehand you can show the person when they’re measuring and they can give advice)
I’ve done this for my fridge and washing machine. It’s really a good service.
