We have front load Bosch washer and dryer that came with the house, wish we had pedestals. The people we bought the house from had just done a major remodel of the entire house, and they bought Bosch products. Yay!
We use those miracle cloth synthetic dusting cloths, and always have one or two hanging around the laundry room. Bigdog had the idea to carefully stuff one of those into the bottom of the rubber door seal after each use to absorb the extra moisture at the bottom of the seal. That seems to eliminate the stale water smell. We do leave an end hanging out of the not-quite-closed dryer door to remind us to not start a wash cycle with the dust rag inside the seal.
Oh, and the previous owner also had a pocket door put in to conceal the messy laundry room, even though the laundry room is not visible from any major room.
Sea, that could an answer for you with the kitty litter, just leave a kitty-wide space open. And nowadays they are doing barn doors, which are way less expensive than pocket doors.

I had no idea we have a washer and dryer thread here.
I bet there is a whole lot more stuff here than we know of.
Where is Twinkie when we need her? (She is deceased, young), and I STILL miss her. She was a brilliant hoot and a half. And she knew how to get the best price on absolutely everything.

Mack is the one with kitty litterbox in the laundry.
My cat has no reason to go into the laundry room. Her litterbox, food all upstairs and she has a water fountain upstairs and a second water fountain in the kitchen.
When I went to buy, I did go to Best Buy, where I got my TV and other items over the years. The sales person was totally uninterested, so I left.
Home Depot was allowing ICE to harass employees, but we also have Lowe's, where I bought my new ceiling fan, washer, dryer and refrigerator. And get the Sapphire blue color that makes me happy. I swore I would never buy a front loader... But I did. I do leave the door ajar, and I have a Swedish cloth that I use under the rubber gasket.

Oh and after being out of my home for A year due to water damage, I have water sensors by each shower, each toilet, each sink, the washer and the water heater.
Highly recommended.

We had pedestals with the old set and got them again with the new. While the extra storage is nice we really get them to save on our backs.

I should have gotten the pedestals. I have resorted to one of those gripper sticks.

Oh, heck, I had forgotten about the pedestals also being storage.

You can still get pedestals and have them installed. The washer and dryer just sit on them some as long as the dimensions haven’t change you should be able to get them.

I should have. And retrofitting would be a huge deal because the space is so tight. I am short, and can reach. And I have grabbers too, but haven't used them for laundry so far.

New washer and dryer delivered and installed! No dings, dents, or scratches. Running a wash of towels that we used as there was some water that leaked from the washer hose attachments. Easy trial run. First impression is the washer is extremely quiet. Carey is really happy with the sleeker look. 👍👍👍

Used the dryer and equally surprised and happy with it. We need to get the instruction manual out and see how to adjust things like soil level, water temp, drying temp, etc., but we’ll figure it out.

Starting to get acquainted with the new washer and dryer. Almost too many wash options. There are something like 26 preprogrammed wash options and you can modify those. I’m an old guy and thought it was pretty cool you had regular, perma-press, delicates, and cold wash. Thought I’d made “high cotton” when our last set had a whites wash option. Now we have delicates, really delicates, and extremely delicates. Oh yes and a separate wash option for jeans. It goes on and on. Besides that the washer and the dryer communicate with one another. You wash delicates and the washer tells the dryer to get ready to dry delicates and the dryer sets itself up. Geez…I used a wringer washer when I was a married college student and hung the clothes on a clothes line outside. 😬😳😁

Did a full laundry day yesterday. Used four or five different wash options. Couldn’t be happier. LG, at least this model, has an improved wash action, really a big difference from our old Samsungs and seems to address the knock on many front load washers. The “turbo wash” option not only washes better it also takes less time. For instance the towel wash option on the Samsung took almost 1 1/2 hours whereas the LG took 50 minutes. Dryer also was way better though we suspect the old Samsung had lost one of its two heat coils. We had gotten in the habit with the Samsung to run a 10-20 minute extra cycle to get our laundry dry. With the LG every dryer load dried in one cycle regardless of the cycle.
