"Gramps' shop" was heard to mutter:
The boss has asked me to build a riser for the front-loading washer and dryer. Easy. But how do I get the machines up on the platform? There’s gotta be a trick that one of you guys can share.

I've seen these in a several places. I'm not trying to poke fun or be
negative, but what purpose do these serve? Is this all about being
vertically challenged?

My mother wanted to raise hers and she's 5'3" no problem loading or
unloading. The installers put the front loaders in a position where
the two open doors are back to back forcing you to pull out and go
around the doors to load the dryer. I went to get a door switch kit,
but you can only do that on a dryer. I'm not able to move these units
around, and the last time a paid guy did, they ripped up the new floor
and it had to be replaced.

Seems we keep making them bigger and with more stuff to simply make
more money and have more breakage. I had a new neighbor replace a set
only one year old because they didn't like the new front loaders. They
thought they took too lond to wash and dry. They threw them away.
