Anyone have Maytag Performance Series Front Load Washer/Dryer?
Comments (2)HI atct86, I have the performance 300 washer and drier since April and I am very happy with them. Nice solid machines that clean clothes very well. Did not go with the steam option so I can not help with that. Bought mine at Home Depot and they delivered and set up machines at no charge....See Moreanyone with washer-dryer stack in narrow hallway? what doors?
Comments (3)I once had a laundry closet in a room that was also used as a study. There was no room for doors of any kind. So I had a custom pleated shade made in colors to match the room. It could be pulled up completely out of the way when needed. It could be lowered most of the way to provide both screening and airflow. The shade was in a subtle stripe pattern that matched the surrounding trim and wall colors. It was somewhat translucent, so I could leave the closet light on behind it for a kind of cool effect. Such shades come in all kinds of weights and textures -- I suppose you could even have a roman style shade that fit over the outer frame of the door. I know mine got lots of complements....See MoreAnyone have a Washer and Dryer across from each other
Comments (8)have known a few people who hae had awsher & dryer across from each other in laundry area.. One was where the utility room was also t he back entrance to the house from the driveway and garage. Fortunately anyone could see through the door window if I was in the utility room switching laundry between washer & dryer. It was between 3 & 4 feet distance between them. I got pretty good at throwing a bundle from where I was standing into the dryer without much hitting the floor....See MoreDoes anyone have front load washer/dryer up on built in pedestals?
Comments (18)The manufacturer pedestals all are meant to be bolted to the machine, so you can slide the entire unit out if needed to service or access the back. Basic pedestals have large drawers where you can store supplies, or even use as hampers. Fancier pedestals can include another washing machine (see LG sidekicks). Whether on pedestals or not, I find almost all front loaders too tall to fold laundry on top, but you could still use a shelf above for more storage if you wanted. With your own built pedestals you would still want to bolt the machines onto the pedestals as a safety issue (and to protect your machines and floors from the machine smashing down). So you would want to make sure they can take the shaking and flex, and you would need to unbolt to move them and it would be even more work to take them off. I have seen them done many times, but just things to be aware of. Oh, and the times I have seen them done they were more solid boxes - I’d be concerned about the durability of “open” pedestals, or if it would affect the machine warranties since it is not a solid platform. But for space savings stackables are nice. I have a laundry room with side by side washer and dryer on the manufacturers matching pedestals on my second floor (no problem reaching controls or soap trays from standing) but I put stackables in my mudroom to have a second laundry on main floor near kitchen and garage entry. I am 5’4” and don’t have difficulty reaching into the dryer tub on top without a stool - and the tub lights up and it is not that deep that things go missing in there :) i would not put cabinet in between machines. Far less convenient to move set laundry to the dryer, and exposes the cabinet to more moisture....See Moresandy808
