Customer review insights: Choosing the best washing machine cabinet for your needs

At Washtower, we work very closely with our customers when they purchase our washing machine cabinets to best understand their requirements. As a family-owned business, we know that this diligent approach to customer service is important to you.

So, the first insight we want to share with you is about getting your washing machine cabinet installation off to the best start. 

Based on our customer conversations along with our industry expertise, we recommend prioritising the following before purchasing a washing machine cabinet:  

• Connection to utilities (i.e. plumbing, drainage and electricity) 
• Available physical space in the room to install units
• Ease of access to allow for machine ventilation and repairs
• Compliance with building regulations 
• Ergonomic and practical laundry setup  
• Visual appeal

By ensuring that everything that matters to ensure your safety and comfort has been taken care of, you can gain long-term satisfaction from your purchase. 

As we’ve just hinted at, another thing that’s important to our customers is user-friendliness. 

Given the repetitive nature of loading and unloading the washer and dryer, you want to be sure that your laundry cabinets help rather than hinder the process. 

The configuration of your appliances can make a world of difference here. In recent years, our customers have increasingly opted to stack their washers and dryers. Not only does this design save space, but it can also reduce the strain on the body by making the transfer of clothes into the dryer easier to complete. 

If a stacked washer and dryer isn’t right for you, then we have plenty of other options to choose from. 

For example, one of our customers created a fantastic laundry setup in a mudroom. From the second image on the page, you can see the design features a side-by-side appliance configuration along with tall cabinets. 

Overall, this design worked as the customer was able to contain all of their family’s dirty shoes and laundry in one space, thus preventing any mud or dirt from moving through the rest of the home. 

Whatever factors matter to you and your family, our washing machine cabinets can absolutely be tailored to suit your needs.

So that your laundry isn’t more difficult than it needs to be, achieving a good workflow here is key. 

Space permitting, you can add far more than just a washing machine cabinet, including a complete cabinet wall. 

Ensuring everything you need to do the laundry is in close reach can dramatically cut the time and energy involved in doing the laundry. 

Aesthetics wise, our customers also love how sleek these walls of cabinets look. In particular, the choice of white or black units gives neutral-toned options that can work with practically any colour scheme. 

Over time, you can then update your kitchen with new paint or tiles, yet the cabinets will always look fresh. Crucially, the cabinets will continue to provide all the functionality you need to make the laundry a breeze.
