I love this stand! It lifts the washer from the floor, making it easier to access the water dispenser, which you have to drain at least once a month. I know this product has another stand that acts as a drawer to hide your detergent and fabric softener.

Love this pedestal!! My GE profile was already tall compared to previous Samsung heat pump. With this, there’s no bending over required! Great on my back. Easy to install. Color matches the unit perfectly!

I purched a set of 7" Laundry Risers. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome! It's made a great improvement on the Wife's life. Just the right height to operate and still have access over top of the machines. We didn't have the new laundry appliances very long and knew that we had to do something. I encourage anyone to take a look. It may help out, it did for us. Happy Wife = Yes Honey, I'll get right to it! ;)

Pretty base for our new washer/dryer.
Lift our new appliances by 7”. Saves a lot of stress on our back. No more bending to add or remove clothes! A definite must have.

I purchased this item to raise my washer and dryer. However, I wish I had purchased the drawer instead. I didn’t realize I would have enough space for the drawer. However, this product does exactly what it should.

Works great for GE Profile products. We're using it with the GE Profile Washer/Heat Pump Dryer all-in-one. It's not too heavy yet very strong and sturdy and is great to get the washer/dryer to a better level so you don't have to bend over so far putting clothes in or taking them out. Definitely a great asset and glad that BestBuy had it available.

I'm glad I splurged and bought the 7" pedestal when I purchased the machine. While I could've gone bigger, the smaller version raises the unit just enough so I'm not stooping too much during loading and unloading.
There was some slight wobbling during the first few uses, but it fixed itself and has been behaving ever since.

This pedestal is the perfect addition to the GE washer and dryer. They aren’t that tall, but it is enough so you don’t feel like sitting on the floor when pulling your laundry out.

This platform for my GE profile washer/dryer combo is a perfect fit and adds to the aesthetic of the unit. Best Buy also had the best deal.

It's fine for what we needed. Ordered online pickup at the store & the box was all ripped up & there are dents in the pedistal. The best buy person at the pick up counter ignored the box so we didn't know it was damaged until we got home.

Causes vibration and was suggested to remove by Best Buy installation guys. What a waste of money for $299.
We're sorry to hear that things did not go as expected. If you still have the pedestal, ensuring that it is completely secure and balanced can help make things better. It is also important to check that the pedestal is compatible with your model. We hope that you still have an amazing wash/dry experience and that our suggestions help your pedestal work with your unit. All the best.- Kianna@GEAppliances

This is just a very basic solid pedestal that is 7 in high to elevate your washer and dryer.
I'm a little dismayed at how they can charge as much as they do for this piece, but we are pretty glad we got them anyway.
They offer these pedestals in 7 in and then also a 16 inch that has a drawer.
The 7-in pedestal elevates the washer and dryer to a perfect height for the average size person.
I feel like the 16-in would be way too tall and would make the top of the washer and dryer be too high to use for setting baskets on or anything else.
I also think the 16-inch pedestals would cause the washer and dryer to potentially not fit underneath overhead cabinets that are hung at a standard height.
So when deciding between the 7 inch and 16-in pedestals make sure you do your measuring correctly for the space you have to put these in.
The pedestals themselves are a little bit of a pain in the rear to put on. If you are doing these yourself just be aware that the time to put these on is when you first get the machines.
Make sure you leave the shipping bolts in the washing machine to flip it on its side.
I'm not sure if there's an advantage in the 16 inch models having a drawer, because if you were trying to elevate your washer so that you don't have to bend over as much to get clothing out, I'm not really sure why you would want to bend all the way to the floor to get laundry items out of a drawer?
Despite the added cost we are really glad that we got these.
