Customer review insights: Choosing the best washing machine cabinet for your needs

Published on: 4/03/2025 Author: Babette

Renovating your laundry space can be an exciting prospect, especially as it gives you the chance to address anything that doesn’t work with your current setup.

That said, it can also be stressful to make decisions, especially if you are unsure of the full range of possibilities.

Something that can make the process of choosing a washing machine cabinet much easier, not to mention more enjoyable, is to learn from others who have been there before you.

In today’s post, we’re here to inspire you with some Washtower customer insights.

Discover these unmissable tips from our customers to help you choose a washing machine cabinet that will best meet your needs.

Washing machine cabinet—Key considerations

At Washtower, we work very closely with our customers when they purchase our washing machine cabinets to best understand their requirements. As a family-owned business, we know that this diligent approach to customer service is important to you.

So, the first insight we want to share with you is about getting your washing machine cabinet installation off to the best start.

Based on our customer conversations along with our industry expertise, we recommend prioritising the following before purchasing a washing machine cabinet:

Connection to utilities (i.e. plumbing, drainage and electricity)
Available physical space in the room to install units
Ease of access to allow for machine ventilation and repairs
Compliance with building regulations
Ergonomic and practical laundry setup
Visual appeal

By ensuring that everything that matters to ensure your safety and comfort has been taken care of, you can gain long-term satisfaction from your purchase.

Where will your washing machine be installed?

The biggest factor that will impact installing a washing machine cabinet is what is possible in your home.

As our customers have demonstrated, there is certainly room for innovation here! This is especially the case if you want to move away from the traditional setup of having the washing machine in the kitchen.

In general, the main choices include:

Keeping the washing machine in the same location
Moving the washing machine to another part of the room
Relocating the washing machine to another room

Before you purchase your unit, it’s always wise to consult the relevant tradespeople for advice. They will be able to give you the best ideas depending on your preferences and budget.

Once you have an idea of what’s doable, it’s time to get creative! Our customers enjoy the process of using our configurator tool to help them visualise what’s possible.

Based on your room dimensions, you may also be able add features beyond a washing machine cabinet. We have lots of options to explore, such as clothes storage or handy accessories such as a pull-out shelf.

Overall, we’ve designed our products to be incredibly versatile so that there’s a way to maximise space and efficiency for every laundry setup.

Ensuring ease of use

As we’ve just hinted at, another thing that’s important to our customers is user-friendliness.

Given the repetitive nature of loading and unloading the washer and dryer, you want to be sure that your laundry cabinets help rather than hinder the process.

The configuration of your appliances can make a world of difference here. In recent years, our customers have increasingly opted to stack their washers and dryers. Not only does this design save space, but it can also reduce the strain on the body by making the transfer of clothes into the dryer easier to complete.

If a stacked washer and dryer isn’t right for you, then we have plenty of other options to choose from.

For example, one of our customers created a fantastic laundry setup in a mudroom. From the second image on the page, you can see the design features a side-by-side appliance configuration along with tall cabinets.

Overall, this design worked as the customer was able to contain all of their family’s dirty shoes and laundry in one space, thus preventing any mud or dirt from moving through the rest of the home.

Whatever factors matter to you and your family, our washing machine cabinets can absolutely be tailored to suit your needs.

“It makes my washing so much easier!”—Take the opportunity to maximise convenience

Another aspect that delights our customers is that we really do think about the laundry process as a whole when designing our cabinets.

After all, it’s common to think of washing machines as single entities. In reality, the process of getting the laundry done involves many steps:

Separating laundry into their respective piles
Storing dirty laundry while waiting to be washed
Removing wet laundry and transferring it to a tumble dryer or washing line
Placing delicates in a safe space to dry
Transferring clean laundry on hangers
Putting clean laundry back in the wardrobe
Keeping the laundry area clean and detergents safely stored away

So that your laundry isn’t more difficult than it needs to be, achieving a good workflow here is key.

Space permitting, you can add far more than just a washing machine cabinet, including a complete cabinet wall.

Ensuring everything you need to do the laundry is in close reach can dramatically cut the time and energy involved in doing the laundry.

Aesthetics wise, our customers also love how sleek these walls of cabinets look. In particular, the choice of white or black units gives neutral-toned options that can work with practically any colour scheme.

Over time, you can then update your kitchen with new paint or tiles, yet the cabinets will always look fresh. Crucially, the cabinets will continue to provide all the functionality you need to make the laundry a breeze.
