Measure your house...
I am sharing a funny post from David O'Doherty a real estate agent in North Carolina about the new washers and dryers.
Call me if you want to buy a new house for your new gigantic washer and dryer....
Thanks to David for allowing the Re-Blog!
Before You Buy The New Gigantic Washer and Dryer, Measure Your House!
I write this post after coming from a walk through of a house where the home owner purchased a matching set of a washer and dryer only to get home and find out they don't fit in the utility room! So where did they have to put them...in the basement.
I have clients who just bought a house and their new washer and dryer will not fit, they will be ok they just won't be able to use the stands they bought with the monsters. Or they could raise the cabinets!
Another complaint with these behomets is when they do fit, in most homes even ones built last year, the cabinets above the machines were designed to be used with a standard size machine. Now the machine is so wide you can't reach the shelves.
I showed a house recently where the couple had bought the units, lugged them upstairs to the space with the folding doors only to find out the doors were in the way, solution, remove the doors and attach them to the outside of the trim.....this did not look good and the doors still hit the front of the washer, and they apparently couldn't reach the shelves as all the laundry stuff was on top of the machines!
Next up is the utility room that did not think it was ever going to have something this big....so the door won't open all the way. In fact in order to do laundry you have to go in the room, close the door, open the door of the washer, squeeze the clothes in, close the door, then open the utility room door and back out dragging the basket horizontally!
Good Luck!
