Interior construction varies by model. Many compact washers use stainless‑steel drums, while at least one unit lists components made from PP (polypropylene) and aluminum.

Water‑level options vary by model, typically from 3 up to 5 selectable levels (some listings show specific liter steps). Timer options include short spin timers (examples: 3, 5, 10 minutes) and, on certain models, longer timers such as a 24‑hour delay.
