Re: [DIY] Washer/dryer PICS Combo Unit

By odd coincidence, I was in Home Depot yesterday, & they
want to unload one of these. $1500 down to $1100.

You can put this into a closet and a clothes rack above it?
Width is standard, whereas a washer dryer stack, can be smaller,
but slimmer.

I took pics -

I made EVERYONE an APPLIANCE Folder, in PHOTOS & within it,
one for Washers & Dryers. Other folks can make 1 for Stoves,
etc, as need be.

I put 3 pics.

You can research LG for a model numbers, then a manual & specs.

Best Buy may have these, and are in dire straights for money.
Maybe work a deal. Others may order one, then refuse it... and
along comes cousin Ralph, who then gets a deal on stuff they
don't want, that costs them floorage. White saved us $300 over
a pretty cherry red color on our 2 units. In a garage, white
can be better. I'm happy to have the drawer set that goes under,
but a few items still don't fit. Keeps dryer sheets & some soaps
outta the way, however. Gotta bend over... But not a lot of
cabinetry expense for storing all your crap, and less bending
for the washer dryer loading and unloading...

But yes, it is very expensive, and yes, if something goes wrong with it, I suppose the whole shebang stops working, more or less. Who knows? But then I thought, what about a washer/dryer stacked? And they are selling them refurbished cheaper around here in Florida refurbished with a 90-day warranty, there is a company that does that. And THEN, and THEN -- I thought about the chance that maybe I could just plunk a dryer on top of a washing machine. That is my last and real question. So I am told that the knobs, etc., will be on top of washing machine probably and therefore i cannot put a dryer conveniently on top of it. OK. Maybe I can, though. The trailer already has a washing machine in it, but the owner is taking the dryer. That is why I'm looking for a dryer to
