Your washer can sit right on the floor however if you had a pedestal you can store items in it and it makes washing and drying a lot easlier by not having to bend over.
Do front load washers need pedestals.
You do not need a pedastal.
There are two main benefits to using a laundry pedestal.
A laundry pedestal is an accessory that goes underneath your front load washer or dryer.
Pedestals in my opinion are just marketing genius.
Why do i suddenly need pedestals now that my washing machine is a front loader.
They are pricey though.
Bending over is good for me.
We are building a house and need to decide before the sheetrock goes up whether or not to have pedestals for our front load washer and dryer so they can be flush against the wall.
We haven t had front load before.
I did not get them and have been getting along just fine for six years without them.
