Which washer and dryer you you own?

[mielabor]

Erik, the platforms are homemade. I made the one under the dryer more than 20 years ago to support a stacked set of a Miele washer and the dryer in the picture. My initial idea was to leave the platform standing on it's wheels but this proved to be too unstable and so I added the wooden supports. In that configuration I had no problems till the washer died. When I bought a new washer earlier this year I made a second platform. As the wooden supports were already planned here from the beginning I placed the wheels such that the supports would fit better under the platform. When I want to move the machines around, I use a small jack to lift the platform, remove the supports and lower the platform on it's wheels.

Hey Theo,
Thanks for the pic. Very well put together. Those blocks even look sanded on the edges. Your system of adding wheels is well thought out. It also saves on wear and tear on the machines themselves when they get moved as you don't have to shove and yank the machine, taking a chance of damaging or denting.

I like the clean geometric styling of your appliances. So reminescent of styles we had here in the late 70s and 80s.

Another question for you. In your first pic there appears to be a basin between the washer and dryer picture and on top, what are the bars and the blue form fitting piece on that? looks interesting.

CHUFFED?

Please elaborate.

 

[mielabor]

No detail goes unnoticed...

Erik, the blue thing is a drying rack that can be hung on doors etc. For a neat result when sawing timber I can recommend the Japanese saws. I have used the one pictured here for making the wooden supports.

Dyson

Hi Folks,
I am the proud owner of two TOL Dyson washers the first is my CR01 Memory the second is my CR02 2 Drums Allergy. You could say they are modern classics as sadly they are no longer made. I just love my Dysons; the CR01 Memory the older of the two is my daily driver and has completed more than 6000 cycles to date.

Re: Chuffed

Chuffed is just another way of saying i'm pleased! I use it all too often.

Nuttin' fancy . . .

GE gas dryer (FriGEMore), Frigidaire Affinity LTF6000ES washer (Lowe's exclusive)

They're backwards (washer on the right of the dryer) because our 1970s tract house is from the mirror-image floorplan era.

Washer is a Frigidaire GLTF1670AS0, vintage 2002.
Dryer is an electric Whirlpool "Imperial" series,(LE9200XW) circa 1990. Sucker refuses to die! I can't imagine what I will eventually replace it with..don't want to think about it.

I saw my identical pictured above GE Filter Flo at the Habitat Restore today for $40 I believe. Can't have two now. I was there to pick up a Maytag vertical a/c for my sister, near new for $50
