If you’re stuck for space in your kitchen or utility room, why not rearrange by investing in a stacking tumble dryer and washing machine?
Side by side laundry appliances are great under counters as they provide an extra work surface (somewhere to balance the washing basket), but if its floor space you’re lacking – try stacking.
Almost any washing machine and tumble dryers can be stacked as long as they are front loading like the Hotpoint Ultima TCD970P condenser tumble dryer. Top loaders have obvious drawbacks when it comes to stacking tumble dryers and washing machines!!
How to: stacking tumble dryers
Hotpoint offers a stacking kit to securely fix your tumble dryer above the washing machine. The Hotpoint kit even has a useful pull out shelf for you to balance your laundry basket on, so you can move clothes between the two machines with minimum effort. For further information on where to buy a stacking kit, call Hotpoint on 08448 22 52 25.
If you’re looking to stack your current tumble dryer and washing machine, it is wise to ensure your appliances are the same width and depth before stacking. Also, make sure you have an extra pair of (very strong) arms, as tumble dryers and washing machines can be incredibly heavy.
