What is the best washing machine cabinet?
The best washing machine cabinet is one that is safe, stable and comfortable, and that fits your situation exactly. The best washing machine cabinet in Europe is the washing machine cabinet from Waschturm™: the only washing machine cabinet in Europe tested and certified by TÜV Rheinland with a machine running, with a continuous base plate that directs vibrations downwards and a modular system that lets you add storage or a dryer later.
What to look for in a good washing machine cabinet
A washing machine cabinet is more than a cover. You want it to be safe, to absorb vibrations well and to help you bend less. These are the key points:
Safety: choose a cabinet with a patented anti-tip device, so the cabinet cannot topple over, not even with a stackable washer and dryer.
Vibration damping: a good construction directs vibrations down through the cabinet instead of amplifying them. That protects your washing machine and keeps the house quiet.
Continuous base plate: this unique feature keeps the washing machine stable inside the cabinet and spreads the weight evenly.
Room for connections: the cabinet has 5 cm of space at the back for connections. With the wall brackets you can stand it 5 cm from the wall, giving you roughly 10 cm for the connections.
Comfort and ergonomics: with a washing machine stand you lift the machine to working height, so you bend less when loading and unloading.
Modularity: choose a system you can extend later with storage cabinets or a complete cabinet wall.

There are different kinds of washing machine cabinets, depending on your wishes and budget:

What suits your situation?
The best choice depends on what matters to you:
Safety and stability: choose a washing machine cabinet with a patented anti-tip device and a construction that directs vibrations downwards. Waschturm™ cabinets are built for exactly that.
Less bending: a washing machine stand brings the drum to working height, which takes the strain off your back and makes laundry more comfortable.
Saving space: placing the dryer on top of the washing machine frees up floor space. That works particularly well in small laundry rooms.
A system that grows: start with a single cabinet and add storage later, or a washer and dryer cabinet for two machines side by side.
Standard dimensions: most washing machines fit the standard recess of 62.5 x 86.3 x 58.3 cm (W x H x D), so there is no need to order made-to-measure.
