This will come in handy as I’m gunna be stacking some tumble dryers ontop of my washing machines

Extremely helpful!  I'm in the US so bigger machines, and different stacking kits, more like overpriced brackets.  The use of a ratcheting strap is an excellent idea!  Keeps it very well attached.

Great idea!  I've shared this with my decluttering Facebook page.

is a little vibration/shake of the dryer normal when the bottom washer is gaining speed to spin? once its found its center balance, dryer doesnt move. dryer vibrates when its tossing clothes. normal? no major movement. nothing seems weird. just wondering whats expected.

Can you stack a smaller tumble dryer on top of the washing machine or does it have to be the same width?

[stupmylumpy]

do you only mount machines from the same manufacturer to prevent cross breeding ?

Love your videos. What happens if my washer is one of the newer 40cm depth machines? Can I still put a 60cm depth dryer on top, or will the rear overhang cause a problem?

Would stacking a front-loading washer on top of a drier be an issue? If so, why please? Thanks.

Why do you recommend that the two machines be from the same company or company group? I have my eye on a dryer which is a different make than my washing machine. Will that cause me headaches?

For the second kit shown, is it also universal? From the looks of it, the second kit's size is fixed, it does not look like it can adjust around a a variety of sized machines.

Hi, that is a very helpful video. I am shortly moving to a house where they currently stack their machines of the same make. However we have a Panasonic w/m and a Miele t/d.
We can't decide whether to invest in a stacking kit which may not suit the w/m or ask someone to try to fit a shelf instead. Any thought would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are all laundry pairs able to stack if you have the kit? I have a front load Samsung Pair (Washer/Dryer) with identical dimensions.

Hi, Can I use this on a Candy Evo4 W 2643 D model? It is 60 cm. in width, but only 45 cm. in depth...so a kind of a "slim" model

I'm in the US. Where can I find the universal stacking kit with the strap and ratchet because it's not on the eSpares website.

Can I stack an LG 24" "compact" dryer on top of an LG 27" "fullsize" washer? 3" width difference means 1.5 inches on each side. Looks like stacking kit that the guy in video used MIGHT work.

[alexandracarswellengle]

I'm in the US and my GE washer/dryer set is 685mm, will the universal staking kit work on these?

[sdeee]

I find the ratchet strap an eye sore. Is there an alternative ?

[mahmouddyy]

hi
if the dryer is LG direct drive 9kg front load
and the washing machine is LG direct drive front load also but 7kg

do you recommend to put the washing machine over the dryer?
does this kit fit 2 different load weight machines like the case above?

thanks

[dahonmendoza]
