Wanna stack your washer and dryer to free up some space? Sure you do! I don’t know why but I’ve always loved these stacking kits. I think it’s the idea that something so simple and relatively inexpensive is just so darn helpful! A ‘Little Engine That Could’ perhaps type scenario. Some people will stack their machines without using a kit. However, this can prove somewhat treacherous as it puts the dryer at risk of being shaken from atop the washing machine. It can also be dangerous if you have children who might be inclined to reach up and open the dryer door, pulling the machine down. If you decide that you’d like to go the ‘stacking route’ there are just a few key things to keep in mind.

1) Most fundamental thing to remember is that the tumble dryer will sit atop the washing machine.

2) Look for a genuine stacking kit that’s made specifically for your make of washer and dryer as this will ensure the most snug fit. If the washer and dryer are same make there should be a specific stacking kit for them.

3) If your washer and dryer are different brands you probably will look to get a universal stacking kit. This is absolutely acceptable but make sure to take note of your appliance’s dimensions to be sure you get one that fits properly.
