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.

    You can also get all in one’s that both wash and dry in a single unit if space is a concern. They tend to be a bit pricier because it’s literally two functions in one item but not terrible.

      I looked at those and figured the additional cost, plus only one load being washed at a time may be a bit annoying… But realistically, I’ll have to see if one load per day is enough. Thanks!

        You already do only one load at a time. Just because you’re doing 1/2 in the wash and 1/2 in the dryer simultaneously doesn’t change the math.

        In any case, I happen to sell appliances. If you can get your hands on one of the 2-in-1s with an inverter heat pump, they seem to be pretty popular and have good reviews. And the cost can be offset by the energy savings as they’re very energy efficient compared to a standard washer/dryer pair.

        I recommend the LG or GE model. Avoid Samsung.
