Household appliances are evaluated not only by technical parameters and build quality, but also by appearance. A silver washing machine looks especially stylish in the interior of a kitchen or bathroom. Let’s see which brands offer silver washing machines, which models are available and what users say about their work.
Overview of silver washing machines and reviews about them
The main competitor of white in the market of automatic washing machines (SMA) is silver. Silver-colored cars look stylish and modern, they are especially appropriate in the kitchen, in combination with chrome fittings. In the interior of the bathroom, white appliances look better – there silver washers are installed less often.
Manufacturers, satisfying the demand of consumers, offer a huge number of CMA models in silver and steel colors. Some brands, such as Samsung or LG, offer dozens of silver color options.

Some users are delighted with this Samsung, others believe that it was possible to buy a cheaper device.
