Customer Ratings & Reviews

These pedestals are the perfect accompaniment to the Samsung washer and dryer. They put both at an excellent height for loading and unloading. The storage drawers are also generous in space, and slide in and out effortlessly.

These bases are totally overpriced, but the machine openings are too close to the floor without one, so people buy them anyway to save their backs. You can put four carpet gliders under the feet to let one person move the very heavy machine and base away from the wall for access to the plumbing. We have not put anything in the drawer yet, but will probably find something appropriate eventually. The drawer is 11 inches deep, too shallow for a big Tide jug, but OK for gallon water jugs and spray bottles. There is a weight limit of 26 pounds for the drawer contents, so three gallons of water or bleach and a spray bottle is about the limit..

This Pedestal is awesome and worth the extra cost. It is so convenient to have my Washer and Dryer at a higher height - No more bending over! I love it and the extra storage.

The pedestal makes a humongous difference to the look and use of the washer and dryer. It also has storage area which can be used to keep laundry detergent.

As I can not bend well, helps a lot getting things out of washer & dryer. I was using a back scratcher to reach things.

Matches the platinum washer and dryer great no more bending over looking in the drum reaching way in the back.

We purchased and had this washer delivered and installed along with its pedestal this past Summer (2016) to replace our old Kenmore Elite (top-loading washer and dryer) units; and, I waited to post a review to make sure that we experienced their features and operation enough to post a useful review. All-in-all, we could not have imagined a better purchase after a month of on-and-off research of online reviews and customer feedback of its specifications and features. It was a close call between these matching units and their comparable LG units in this price range. We targeted the models a next level up from the base “economy” units; but, not the highest-end versions. These units have all of the practical options that you would get in the base models, plus some enhanced features found in the higher-end models. We’d say that these units are more than just a good compromise on some added features. There are so many types of wash/dry cycles, AND you have the “luxury” options of prewash, steam, etc. that the higher models have. Plus, you’re able to customize any combination of wash settings to your preference (steam, prewash, temperature, extra rinse, extra spin, economy mode, duration of cycle, yada yada yada & etc etc etc). The capacity is generous and you can do all of your bedding items together instead of MAYBE one at a time like in the top-loaders. I’d imagine that the stainless steel drums for BOTH the washer, as well as, the dryer, (not only the washer) will probably last a very long time (even beyond porcelain) compared to coated/powder/painted steel. The ability to pause the wash cycle and add a garment midway in the wash rather than waiting until the end is awesomely convenient. I can’t imagine having to wait as we’ve always had top-loaders in the past that by design have this feature. Dax and Kristen weren’t kidding about the convenience on those SamSung commercials for these types of units, haha! The economy of using less electricity and water is environmentally friendly and the technology still gets our toughest wine, grass and mud stains out completely (well, we wash these stains right away and prewash separately as needed … albeit, we’ve never brave enough to have tried just “going for it” and putting that untreated or old stain directly into the wash. The dryer has the ability of simply undoing the bolts and catch and rotating them around the drum opening 180 degrees to open in the other direction. This came in very handy as our laundry room is relatively narrow so the direction of door opening is critical to our maneuverability within the room and quick transfers of the wash from the laundry to the dryer. This probably is a common feature to front-loading dryers; but, a good one to mention! We also had the SamSung side vent kit installed so the exhaust can neatly be discharged out the side and allow for the units to be pushed essentially flush back against the wall. This is an absolute must if your laundry room is narrow. Cost of the kit isn’t overly bad: about $50 or so, plus shipping if needed. The controls are attractive and very easy to use and read. Lights clearly indicate the settings. Operation of both the washer and dryer are very quiet and many times we need to go into the laundry room to ensure that we indeed had turned them on! We added the Bluetooth adapter (which is a bit too pricey we feel directly from the SamSung website) to each unit; but, it’s a simple plug-in to a small plastic-covered compartment, and after downloading the smartphone app, can monitor and even control our washes while away at the office! Neat-o! Now, we just need a remotely-controlled robot to conveniently add more dirty laundry to the washer or transfer completed washes to the dryer, haha! Yes, I’ve seen some reviews that the musical jingle at the end of the loads could be irritating. But hey, you’re able to turn them off or set them to that old-school BUZZZZZZZ!!! if you prefer, so really it’s not a big deal or even an issue at all! Just an added option to make the finish-cycle notification a bit more palatable or pleasant. The only perhaps drawback when compared to the LG models is its footprint and depth. For the same capacity, these SamSung units are a few inches deeper, which makes a noticeable difference in our narrow room. The side vent kit negated out this concern; however, of course its purchase and installation by a professional technician needs to be considered, as applicable. Lastly, if aesthetics is important to you, and the color would adhere to your laundry room setting, I recommend opting for the black stainless finish if you don’t mind spending $50-$100 per unit more for this appearance. We’re completely happy with the white finish; however, smudges, temporary stains and scratches/dings are relatively evident on the white units. I’d imagine that they’d be much less noticeable on the black stainless finish; but, we opted to save some money on the pair (plus their pedestals sold separately) and truly focus on the performance and operation of the units, which of course are independent of the finish. As a final note, we couldn’t be more relieved to have decided to purchase the pedestals and have them delivered and installed along with the units instead of later adding them in and having to disconnect all the piping and ductwork, then reinstalling everything (spray Windex on the tile/vinyl or concrete flooring to make sliding of the units easier and height adjustment of the screw footings at the 4 corners). The added height really saves you a lot of bending over too far and being able to place a laundry basket right below the doors and simply scoop out the laundry rather than picking everything up and lifting them into the basket or directly into the dryer is a godsend. Plus, the pedestals are just the right height to not make the overall finished units too high to make viewing and operation of the control panel a challenge if you’re average height (of course, apparently not a big deal if you’re over 6’ tall, haha!). Don’t hesitate on acquiring these units if the price is right (time the sales well, primarily holding out to about the Independence Day Weekend if possible, as this appears to the best time of the year to get washers and dryers due to all of the competitive pricing that develops by other big box stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.), as well as, even the smaller local outfits. Plus, you get the “backing” of probably better service and warranty coverages by the larger stores and the peace of mind should the smaller local store unfortunately (God forbid) go out of business at some point after your purchase. If you spent the time to read this entire lengthy review, kudos to you! We are quite passionate and happy with our purchase; and, I truly hope that you found my review of them at least a bit helpful! :)

Samsung washer weight is ~200 lb.Are those plastic clamps are supposed to keep it in place during spinning cycle? Shame on your designers and engineers, Samsung

The drawer should have been deep enough for a large soap bottle, but the drawer is actually 10.9" deep, and the bottle is a bit bigger. That was the one major disappointment when we first got these drawers. The height is great, no more bending to load and unload clothes. The drawer opens smoothly. Your best bet is to order them at the time that you buy the washer and dryer so that the installer will install the drawers for you. Not holding the big soap bottle is a major mistake when these were designed. Again, hard to install yourself, it takes two strong people, and a plan.

These are kind of expensive, but they look nice, they raise the washer and dryer up to a better height, and they have some storage that is useful.

The pedestals do a great job and are a back saver . Had a problem getting them installed as Best Buy refused to do the installation even the Geek Squad . Tried Samsung the same problem they only sell them but don't install them .So if you buy the washer and dryer buy the pedestals at the same time .It's certainly not a job you can do alone. I also found them overpriced for what they give you .

The pedestals for me were essential to bring the font loading washer and dryer up to a height where I would not have to be stooping over to get at the laundry. They definitely command a premium price, but, are worth it in the end for sure. I would not have a front loading set of machines without them.

I always thought it would be a waste of money to purchase these, but tried a washer without it struggled to be able to get the clothes out. This is perfect height for not only myself, but still easy for all the kids to get their clothes in and out of the washer. Storage was a huge plus also

We all know these are overpriced for what they are, but the extra height for the W/D is worth it if you can afford it. But this is made of really flimsy metal, and the drawer is plastic. Our installers put them on before carrying the W/D upstairs to the laundry room, and when they got to the top, they rested it on the top stair. The weight of the washer crumpled the sides of the pedestal! It was easy to bend it back in shape with bare hands, but there's creases in the sides now. for what they charge for these, at least they could be sturdier.

I didn't get these during purchase of W&D a while back. Saw them go on sale for $50 off and figured why not. They look great, were easy to install with the type of latch system it uses. Now we don't have to bend down so far to get things out of them, plus who can't use extra storage? Still think they should be cheaper priced.

It is nice to have this to put the washer and dryer up in the air more to make it easier to see into the back without having to bend over so much. It feels very sturdy and the drawer opens and closes very easily.

I'm loving the way it lifts the washer and dryer and keeps me from bending at waist. - I love the storage underneath. I am using one of them for all my washing products and using the other for extra household cleaning products. Leaving me with extra shelf storage where I used to keep the products. They really are nice. Cost isn't cheap and eventually they will probably be less, but if you can when you purchase your front load, just purchase these. They are helpful. Enjoy!

These pedestals are a must have for me as I am over 6 feet tall. They save my back from having to bend over each time a load is done. The storage space is more than adequate for all of our detergents. Great buy!

Use for storage of hangers, dryer sheets, and cleaning towels. The door opens very easily with two fingers. It elevates the washer so you can easily see all the clothes to be removed. I could not be without it.

I am so glad I bought this pedestal. Glad for the storage, although more importantly for me, I do not have to bend down as far as I would have without it.
