“Planning to install this in the kitchen of a small cabin. Can this be installed under a countertop? How much clearance space in the back is needed for hoses? How much space on the sides is needed? It would be going in between 2 cabinets. Thanks.”

I have mine installed in the kitchen of my apartment under a countertop in a space about 24.75" W x 25" D x 34.75" H. I can tell you that it's recommended with more clearance space, but I haven't had any issues. This was a replacement of a previous, similarly sized machine. I WOULD MAKE TWO NOTES: 1.) The machine sticks out from the space about 3" at it's furthest point which is the door front (the actual top of the machine sticks out about 1" in the front from this space.) and 2.) You will need to purchase alternate intake water hoses with a 90º connection to the machine. The machine does come with two 5-ft hoses but they do not have that 90º connection needed for close quarters. I'd also recommend getting the woven steel covered hoses to resist kinking -- your number 1 enemy when attempting close quarter installation of washing machines.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think it can be installed under a countertop. The top or sides are free from any functions and I would give myself about 3 to 4 inches in the back for hose clearance.
