Re: Home and garden projects
They're less than 28" wide, and stackable (washer has a flat top, and I believe there is a "kit" to secure the dryer in position).

It's the height that's the main problem. Getting the dryer into the cupboard to sit on top of the washer.

Re: Home and garden projects
I have the same problem. Currently I have an a GE Spacemaker similar to the one pictured below and the full sized front loads are too wide and too deep but height wasn't a problem to fit in the cabinet. So I decided to buy a front load Samsung 3.6 cubic foot washer with matching dryer with free install which just barley fit with the minimum clearance on the sides and back but when the installers came out, they discovered there was only a 220V outlet (washer needs 110v) and said the drain was on the wrong side and the hose wasn't long enough and the drain would need to be re-plumbed (the current units has the drain on the back right and all front loads have the drain on the back left). I said I'll get an electrician to install both 110v as well as 220 V outlets and I'll buy a longer universal drain hose (10' instead of 7') and have them come back to install the units and they said they can't change the hose and I'll have to hire an independent installer. I said I'll put the hose on the washer (it only takes a minute) and they said they are not allowed to install it with the longer hose.
Finally I decided to not purchase the units.

Re: Home and garden projects
My vent goes to the 8' ceiling so that isn't an issue. Many in my condo have installed the small front load units after having a 120v outlet installed.

Re: Home and garden projects
Er yeah, I know. Perhaps my adding a "" instead of a "" confused you. ...... Among the unspecified problems are the fact that the washer weighs 240lb and doesn't slide easily, and that sliding the washer in would be massively complicated by the length of the washer hoses, which would have to be connected first, but then the washer would be in the way of picking up the dryer, ...... and hoisting the dryer 36" into the air to slide a washer under it would be challenging even in the middle of a wide open space.

Re: Home and garden projects
The real problem is that my husband is trying to avoid working at his job (he works from home). The current project is proving to be a difficult one involving lots of moaning and cursing.

Maybe you could encourage him to take up a hobby that involves "moaning" and "cursing".

Re: Home and garden projects
The only other solution would be to lock him in his office

Re: Home and garden projects
Some of those boxes have moved with us 4 times and are 30 years old! And the attic is poorly insulated, which we need to remedy at some point.... (Making another job, but not for the summer that one.)
