Stackable Washer / Dryer Upstairs

5023 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Quadfam4
I'm on the second floor of a condo that has very limited storage space, so I'd like to sell my washer and dryer and replace them with a full size stackable front loading unit. The condo complex isn't known for being well constructed, so my concern is if I have the washer and dryer both completely full, am I going to end up giving my downstairs neighbors a new washer, dryer, and skylight?

I think samsung has a self leveling machine that doesnt shake as much.
I would say put some plywood down and put some peel and stick tile on the plywood so it doesnt look so bad. Dryers arent all that heavy so its not going to put much more weight on that spot. Put something level and hardy under the washer and you shouldnt have much of a problem. Front load washers have shocks (some more than others) and dont tend to shake as much as a top load washer would. I know that my duet has four shocks and it works to level itself if its not level it stops tosses the clothes more and starts again in a spin and even in the high speed spin it doesnt shake as much as my top loader did.
