Under cabinet washer/dryer, need short model recomendation
Comments (7)I think the Asko is 2.7. It supposedly holds more than it appears to, but I have never used it and really don't know if it would meet your needs. If you're planning to sell a six bedroom house, I doubt it would be a good selling feature. Maybe someone who has it will see your post and reply. BTW, it requires 220 service. It hooks up to the cold water line only and the washer plugs into the dryer. The internal heater can heat the water up to 205 degrees. You could bring a set of sheets to a store near you to check out the capacity (if you can find a store that has it on display.)...See MoreWasher/Dryers under kitchen counters
Comments (11)I don't think so. DW uses much hotter water than washer. Even when I used my WD combo( the ventless one), there was no moisture to be felt around. The unit felt warm (enough to dry towel over it) on drying cycle but my dishwasher puts out more heat- it is old piece of wonder, fixed manytimes. Besides look at the build in ovens, even thou they vent up front, I'm sure there must be some heat in between cabinets. I wouldn't worry as long there is no water drip when draining. In europe we use appliances build in the kitchen for years....See MoreWasher / Dryer Cabinet
Comments (3)greenfingernail, is that a Miele 3033 in your photos? Can you provide more details describing the cabinets that your washer and dryer are sitting upon? You don't have any vibration problems with this setup? Doesn't that Miele washer weigh a LOT--like 200 pounds? Did you get the Miele installers to hoist it up there for you? Thanks in advance for any info!...See MoreAnyone done this? Cabinet doors in front of washer and dryer?
Comments (15)Do you have to leave the doors open to let the machines "breathe" while they are on? I think that might be a good reason for the curtained look..... My machines run often and so we'd need to not block them off in a small cabinet for hours at a time. I bought large LG front loaders that were meant to stack and will move them up into our main level when we extend and will finally stack them as intended. They are currently in our bsmt in a laundry room with low ceilings and pipes. The controls for the dryer can be used in the top of the front when not stacked and move to the bottom when they are stacked so there will be no awkward reach. If you did a configuration like that, then you could have more room for storage down low. We will house them in a large walk in type hall closet with a barn door that will slide out of the way when we access the room. It should be easier construction than a pocket door and easier to slide open or closed. Just a side note, but a friend and I were talking about folding laundry yesterday and she and I both could not understand folding laundry in a laundry room. I usually fold mine in the living room while watching tv and use the coffee table, couch and loveseat as my surfaces. I sometimes switch to the master bedroom to watch tv and then fold on the bed. It forces you to put laundry right away and you are entertained while doing a tedious chore. When we add on our den, I will make sure to get an even larger coffee table which would be better for folding ;) With 2 sons and a husband who is active in sports, we go through a lot of laundry and I'd feel like I was in a prison cell if I was stuck in a small spaces for the time it would take to fold. I also have lots of room to spread out and fold into categories for everyone's clothes.......See MoreDevin Darnell
