You can get a front-loader that delivers top-notch cleaning. But in the past several years manufacturers have introduced models that are priced to compete with top-loaders. Manufacturers continue to add colors to their washer lineups.
And all major manufacturers offer dark gray laundry appliances, a nod to the stainless steel look. Want your old washer hauled away? Be prepared to pay a fee for that, too. Many washers are wider, deeper, or taller than washers made a decade ago. Allow for at least 6 inches behind the washer for water hookups, and an inch between the washer and dryer. Also, be sure to measure doorways and hallways to see whether your new washer can fit through them.
You can see the dimensions of each washer that Consumer Reports tests in our washing machine ratings. We also note which front-loaders can be stacked with their matching dryers. When installing a front-loading washer next to a dryer, having doors that open in opposite directions makes it easier to transfer laundry. For stacked front-loaders, having the doors open in the same direction is ideal.
Considering buying a front-loader? The tub may be deeper than you think. CR members can read on for ratings and reviews of six washers, including front-loaders, HE top-loaders the kind without a center post agitator , and agitator top-loaders. Some are CR Best Buys, delivering impressive performance at an appealing price.
Daniel Bortz is a freelance writer in Arlington, Va. I'm buying a front load washer and dryer for my new home which has an 8x8 laundry room. Should I get a pedestal drawer or not? Seems like it would be convenient not to have to bend over but then I lose the space for folding on top or hanging clother over. Also, I've heard that the pedestal makes them noisier. I take it you're not used to front loaders? It's really hard for someone to suggest whether someone else should or should not get pedestals without knowing more.
Any health issues that would impact? I'd suggest going to a store on a day you're rather tired, maybe after a long day, bring a basket full of clothes and put them in a machine on the floor. Then remove them as you normally would, including folding. Then go to a machine with pedestals and do the same thing. Are you able to reach the back as already mentioned?
Just because one person isn't bothered and thinks it's good for them doesn't mean it won't bother you and be good for you. I put my front load dryer on a pedestal this last time I bought one and I wish I had done that 20 years ago. Especially with this one being a larger capacity. It has a hamper door so I have a built in folding stand that I can use standing up and not stressing or hurting myself. If I buy a front loader I would look at pedestals but would probably build or have built, a platform because I made it a bit higher.
BTW, I use the top of my dryer for holding clothes and for folding too so this myth that you can't use the top of the units with pedestals is more misinformation. It really depends on the person, their size, needs and preferences. I got the LG washer and dryer,. They will be delieverd this saturday. I did get the pedestal's. I wanted the advantage as you said of not having to bend over.
I hope I dont have any problems with noise. I just got a new ge frontloader and we went with the pedestal. I have not had any problems with stability. I did pay extra to have the store install the pedestal.
Should I put a washer and dryer in a new Master Bedroom Closet? Advice- should I move my front loader Washer and Dryer upstairs? Maybe ignorance is bliss, but I don't feel the need for one with my Samsung FL.
Personal preference I guess. I love it - no more back pain while doing laundry! There's plenty of space on top still to store laundry baskets and store folded clothes e. And they're very quiet. I did not get them and have been getting along just fine for six years without them. I figured dryers have been front loading all my life and I never had a pedestal for my dryer. Why do I suddenly need pedestals now that my washing machine is a front loader.
Pedestals in my opinion are just marketing genius. Bending over is good for me. I'm going to keep doing it as long as I'm physically able to - which will hopefully be all my life if I keep doing it on a regular basis.
Since I am not quite 5 feet tall, I did not buy the pedestals 5 years ago when I bought my whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer since the washer and dryer would both be too tall to fold clothes on top like I do now. If I was taller, I would have bought the pedestals since I like the way they look and I would have liked more storage options.
I vote no pedestal. You can always use chair to sit if when you need to. Thanks for all your responses. I'm inclined to go without the pedestals unless I get lucky like smabe and get them for free. I have pedestals for my front loading machines. I bought them because I didn't want to bend over. Sure I have some misc. I have cabinets in my laundry room for that.
In my old house I had a shelf above them that held my detergents. The house we are renting has front load machines without pedestals. I'm looking forward to try it out. Right now if I were to buy new machines I would not get the pedestals. Too much money for something I never use. Although I will soon find out if I think it's worth it for height only.
I replaced my old front loaders with new ones this year. And I bought the pedestals. It does make the units appear huge. But one thing to remember is most of the newer units are deeper. Therefore, you may be literally standing on your head to retreive something out of the back of a unit. So go back to the display and pretend to reach for something, like a wet sock, in the very back, stuck to the wall.
If it isn't a problem, then don't buy the pedestals. I was thinking about having the cabinet guy build me a "pedestal" drawer. I had seriously thought of just building my own pedestals.
The only thing is you would need to secure them to the floor. You also want the washer side to be reinforced as most units weigh around pounds. The pedestals attach to the units so they essentially become one unit.
By building your own you would need to make the pedestal as stable as the floor.
