In the past I have used a sack truck, or just opened w/m door and hauled

The only snag, is that lino, or kitchen covering is sometimes caught,
causing a tear and making the w/m even more difficult to extract.

Is there a better way?


I find they come out quite easily. (you're pulling upwards) A little
washing up liquid as a lubricant gets them in, sometimes I sit on the
floor and push with my feet.

Washing up liguid!! Then the machine slides around on its spin cycle. I
believe the feet are deliberately a tacky grade of rubber to prevent them
moving.
