Is the pedestal drawer tall enough? to hold detergent bottles up right?

Question

CozPop · Accepted Answer

NO it is not. Contrary to LG's official response, "Yes, detergent bottles are about 9" to 10" tall. The LG Pedestal Height is 13 3/5”." A standard bottle is about 11.5 inches tall with the lid on, and while the pedestal unit itself is 13 3/5 high top to bottom, the internal storage space is only 10.5 inches. You lose space due to the bottom of the drawer, plus there is a cross frame that drops down on the front of the unit that costs you another inch or so.

This device has one job, to store laundry supplies and it cannot do it properly. Storing liquids on their side is not an ideal solution. Clearly the engineers are not in tune with the US market place. It does look nice, but overall - FAIL

Other poster is correct. Bad design....only small bottles fit. Standard 96 load Tide bottles are to tall. Wish i had known this before buying.

A Persil ProClean Stain Fighter bottle will fit upright. For what its worth, the product is tied with Tide for the best laundry detergent so no harm in switching. If for nothing else, it is convenient to have the detergent stashed away. The previous poster is correct. Tide does not fit.

I found it a bit shorter than my previous one and some of the bottles don't fit upright.

Answer

I agree the pedestal has one job - to store (what would make sense) laundry supplies. I gave away all my pods when I got the new washer and purchased the liquid (Tide) for HE machines. It does not fit, and it is just the average-size bottle, not the huge one with the spout but also not the smallest size. I bought the washer first, then added the pedestal, wish I had read these questions first. Very disappointed.
