Question from Harry Escott: Asked on 06/03/2025 What is the exact height of this Indesit BWE 81496X WV UK machine please- the manufacturer states 845 mm but your website states 850 mm, presumably as you have 2 other drum size options to choose, which are both 850 mm high on the same webpage?
We have a restricted counter height, so 845 mm is OK but not 850 mm, so please confirm that 845 mm is the correct height and then we can order it from you.
Great question! The Indesit BWE 81496X WV UK washing machine has a height of 84.5 cm, as specified by the manufacturer.
However, some retailers list the height as 85 cm.

Recommendation: To ensure compatibility with your space, we recommend measuring your counter height accurately and considering the adjustable feet's range. If your counter height is exactly 84.5 cm, this model should fit, but any slight variations should be accounted for.??
