We have finally reached the point where we no longer have enough space to dry our clothes indoors, and will need to invest in a dryer.

We have a washing machine in our bathroom (also small) so the dryer would ideally go under/over that.

Does anyone have experience building or buying an appropriate stand? The dryer and washing machine will likely weigh about 50-60kgs each.

    Stay away from the combo units. They are shit. And the reduced throughput is a major issue.

    A tower design has to have the washer below the dryer, as the washer is creating more vibrations and simply weighs more.

    Not all manufacturers allow a dryer to be placed upon their washers and not all washers have a big enough top.

    Some (Bosch-Siemens-Appliances does i.e.) do offer specialised “tops” that you can use and that are working quite well. (Example

    Personally I would put another lashing strap around the combination, though,just to be extra safe, especially if you have children or pets.

    Other than that the combination works without a problem,we have been using that for around 15 years by now, only interrupted by our experiments with combo machines.
