![]() ![]() Way quicker than our previous set, efficient and while the drum is REALLY big, it’s actually easier to access than my former washing machine that I could barely reach the bottom. We’ve had the units in full use now for two months and so far, I love them. Once again, while I considered a front-loader for a moment, I decided the last thing I needed was another door opening outward in this tight space. *We ordered via Costco but we actually went with THESE units, based on customer ratings and seeming to have everything I needed. A repairman determined it was done done so I scrambled to do some quick research and get another set ordered. Coincidentally (if you follow me on Instagram stories, you probably saw this), our washing machine bit the dust in March. While this project actually started just before Eliza arrived, I only finished it about a month ago. ![]() Due to lack of storage space, I actually had TWO separate accidents where bottles of detergent fell off the dryer during extra “active” cycles. I wanted storage for the surmounting boxes that didn’t close and various heavy bottles and all the cardboard and plastic that seemed to constantly remain in disarray.You don’t even want to see the door magic that has to happen to get that thing unfolded haha. Our attic access is in the laundry room, via pull-down door and stairs.We are solely confined to working within the 33″ of depth in the space where the units are. There is no forgiveness and not even an inch to spare for hooks or a slender shelf. Our laundry room is a pass-through with the door frames butting up against the wall, opposite the machines.But, especially with the swing-out dryer door, it’s always been a challenge getting dirty laundry into the room and taking the clean laundry out while managing to open and close doors to shimmy through. At one point, I wanted to look into adding a barn door or pocket door to our bedroom door to keep it from opening into the bathroom and blocking the laundry room, but it hasn’t been as much of a budgetary priority as other projects. Between our bathroom (which connects to the laundry room), bedroom, hallway and laundry room, we have an insane number of doors - all that open into each other. ![]() There was tons of wasted space above and below and the shelf was so shallow, I could barely stand on my tippy toes to reach anything. What I hadn’t taken into consideration was that a top loader would also essentially abolish the possibility of adding a countertop at a later date, if we chose.
