Washer & Dryer Pedestals

Washer and Dryer Pedestals

Laundry appliances are keeping pace to reflect the evolving needs of consumers. Many models offer innovative features such as energy-saving functions, automatic dispensing and even WiFi connectivity for remote access. When it comes to your family's laundry, washing and drying machines are a modern marvel. However, your laundry day can be made much easier using a pedestal for the washer and dryer.

Upgrade Your Pedestal for the Washer and Dryer

Washer and dryer pedestals are metal platforms placed beneath your washer and dryer to increase the height by 10 inches to 16 inches. This brings the door closer to your chest and makes laundry much more accessible. If you go through loads of clothing for your entire family, you may feel a lot of strain from bending.

With the platform, however, you don't have to bend over and strain your back when loading and unloading clothes and bedding. You can get a pedestal for the washer and dryer to keep both appliances at the same height which makes it easier to transfer clothes from one machine to the next.

Give Yourself Extra Space

Although convenience is a huge factor, perhaps the best feature of the platforms is the storage capacity. Some models feature a large storage drawer to store detergent and fabric softeners.

For those with a small space for their laundry appliances, these platforms are a great way to add extra storage without taking up extra square footage. Simply install one under each of your devices. Also, you can store your laundry items in one place and have your laundry space organized. Keep small items like dryer sheets, fabric softeners and detergents organized and tucked away for a tidy look. Many platforms will have dividers to help you declutter and organize your storage.

Load Delicates Separately

Sometimes you have only a small load to clean or need to clean some clothes separate from others. Rather than waiting for the first load to finish, a pedestal for the washer and dryer has a small built-in compartment to let you clean a few items separately from your main load. Now you can essentially launder two different loads at once. That's a huge time-saver. Some may even use Smart Motion technology for customized care for intimates, activewear and delicate fabrics. Like a normal machine, the platform may have multiple spin and rinse settings along with varying levels of water temperature to clean clothes.

Depending on the density and type of your laundry appliance, it may be noisy. This could lead to plenty of distractions and disturb your neighbors. Devices mounted on top of the platform help keep the noise level to a minimum.
