How precise are washing machine width measurements?

I have a Bosch WFLI440GB which is listed as having width of 60cm. However, when I measure it, it seems closer to 59.2cm.

I am asking as it fits snugly in the gap in my kitchen and I need a new one as it is broken. Most washing machines are listed as size 60cm. But if I buy one that is exactly 60cm it won't fit in the gap I have. So I am a bit confused as to what to do.

They'll all go in a 60cm gap, I don't know if you'll get any more accurate than that off the internet. Go in a shop & measure them.

They usually are a little smaller than the 60cm but to be sure most manufacturers (bosch for sure) have installation documents you can find online that show drawings with the dimensions to the nearest mm.

I recently installed a bosch dishwasher into a space that was 2mm too small as the gap was not 60cm dead but had been built around an indesit. That was fun. I had a lot of jiggling to do.
