Am I too short for stacked W/D?

16 years ago

In our new build, I had them vent and put in the plumbing for a stacked W/D as that is what I would like in my new laundry room. I am about 5'2" and now am wondering if I am too short to comfortably use the dryer (I'm also 64 and this is our retirement home so will only be getting older...LOL). Anyone here about my height and comfortable using their stacked W/D? I don't want the smaller size. Even though it is just my husband and I, the kids and grandkids visit often and we have a pool..so lots of towels.

You can still buy the LG w/adaptable control panel, which can be put on the bottom of the dryer so if it sits on top of the washer those two control panels are above each other just in front of you.It is LG DLE 9577. I have this set for over 2 years and I love it. It can also be set side by side and the dryer door is reversible. I'm not sure if stores still carries this model but it is on line so go check it out.

Go to www.homeeverything.com
They have the set for about 2000 dollars, no tax and free shipping. Either in white or titanium.
Check you local repair shops to find out if they will service it in case something goes wrong.

O.K.,I have to apologize, the web site popped older page and the dryer is no longer available but I did check internet and there are few sites still selling this model. Just type the model number in your search and see what comes out.

Thanks, czechchick2 and regas_patoff. We are rural and live quite a ways from a major appliance dealer, but I think I will finaly make the trip and just stand in front of them and see if I'm tall enough.
