The Performance Series dryer vents to the back, bottom and side. The back vent worked just fine.
Where we almost ran into problems is when my house was originally built in 1935 the basement was only a cellar. The wash area probably wasn't that much of an issue as they didn't have automatics, but the sewer pipe is about five feet above the basement floor. Then in the 70's they dug out the cellar and finished it to make it a basement, but the sewer is still above the floor, so they built a concrete pad about six inches above floor level so the washer drain would reach the sewer pipe. When they added a bathroom they added the ejection pump that pumps everything to the sewer and the pad was kept as a nice level place for the washer and dryer to sit. It is this pad that you can almost see in the pictures that the twins almost didn't fit on. The salesperson said that they wouldn't have any problems fitting on the same footprint. We measured etc. But they are kind of like buying a Christmas tree out in the open and then trying to get it in your house. They are a whole lot bigger when you get them in the space they belong. I like the added height. Start with a six inch base, then add the 15 inch pedistals then add the machines themselves and the controls are right at eye level. I just have to get on a step stool to dust the tops.
