Stacking kit for washing machine and tumble dryer

[JamesJames]

I'm looking to buy a stacking kit for my washing machine and tumble dryer.

My washing machine is a Miele WED025 WCS 8kg, and my tumble dryer is a Bosch WTH85223GB. Will most stacking kits work with both? Or do I need to check for compatibility?

I've looked at these ones for example:

Or would I be better off getting a Bosch stacking kit? Am I correct in understanding that it's the make of the dryer (which goes on top) which matters more than the make of the washing machine...?

You need a universal kit from what I can see online. Presumably it's more adjustable. Failing that, I'd suggest Bosch as the kit clicks around the feet of the dryer.

We have one of the universal stacking kits. It's essentially a plastic tray (with pull out drawer) that goes between them and then a strap that goes over the top to stop it moving.
In hindsight I wouldn't have had them stacked and I wish we had them installed under the worktop. Our dryer weighs so much and I wouldn't have a chance of getting it back off without DH

Thank you both for your thoughts.

Having researched it more, I've decided to go for the Bosch kit which fits the tumble dryer, as it seems that the screw fitting on to the top of the washing machine are fairly universal whereas the fittings around the dryer feet can differ quite a bit.

You can get one that is a big metal frame. Basically a table that you slide the washer underneath, and put the dryer on top. Looks a lot more substantial and less precarious than the ones where you balance the dryer on top of the washing machine.

We built a timber frame, and did essentially this. Works a treat.
