Typical sizes and weights
| Type | Size | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Standard washer | 60cm wide, 55 to 65cm deep, 85cm tall | 60 to 85kg |
| Washer dryer | 60cm wide, 55 to 65cm deep, 85cm tall | 70 to 90kg |
| Tumble dryer | 60cm wide, 60 to 65cm deep, 85cm tall | 30 to 50kg |
Typical ranges, not manufacturer figures. Measure yours if it is going to be close, and check it against the door and stair measurements.
Will it fit?
Will it fit through the door?
Yes, a 60cm appliance clears any standard door. The problems are the weight on stairs and getting it out of a tight space between kitchen units without damaging the worktop.
Is it too heavy for the stairs?
It is a two-person carry or a sack truck job on stairs, strapped so the weight cannot shift. In upstairs flats with no lift, that is part of the plan.
How we move it
- Check the transit bolts are fitted before it is moved
- Ease it out from the units without scraping the floor
- Move it upright on a sack truck, strapped
- Stand it in place ready for plumbing in
Before we arrive
- Refit the transit bolts, which you may have kept in a drawer or taped to the back
- Turn off the water, disconnect the hoses and drain the filter
- Leave the door open for a day so the drum dries
- If the bolts are lost, tell us: replacements are cheap and worth buying
Plumbing in at the other end
We move the machine and stand it where you want it. Connecting it to the water and waste at the new house is quick when the fittings are already there, and a job for a plumber when they are not, so check before the day.
