The installation instructions say to put it 15 feet from appliances. Does anyone know why? I would need to put it close to a washing machine.

I have mine installed next to an upright freezer in the garage and no problems here.

Only thing I can think of is the possible concern of the controller getting a signal from an appliance to activate the wireless "rain sensor"feature. I see this as extremely rare, but manufacturers want to be covered. I have a 9 station in my garage, and a four station in myoutdoor patio and love them both--simple to install, simple to program

I have recently installed this immediately behind a washing machine as I didn't notice that in the directions. It's been operating perfectly for about a month now.

I see absolutely no reason to do this. Mine is mounted in a utility room, on a wall about 3 feet from washer, no problem.

There is nothing in the Instruction Manual that says anything about the height of the Washer related to the sink, so I'm assuming that it wouldn't be considered as a problem. A pump does pump out the used water after each cycle, so with only a 4 foot set of hoses, I doubt the height of the Washer would be an issue. It would of course be wise to go on-line to Danby and check with them. The Danby countertop Washers are great when you don't have the room for a full sized Washer. This is the 3rd one I've had as they do have a life span of only 2 to 3 years, but for the price, replacing them isn't all that bad.

I read that other reviewers said it could be placed 30 to 40 feet away. I have not tried that yet.

The shelf is mounted on top of the control panel of a washer or dryer as seen on the picture.If your appliance doesn't have that top control panel, the shelf will have no support to keep it in place.

Washer goes on under assy. On top of nut underneith sink Not in the sink. You can use plumber putty in sink.

You need at least the minimum and you had better have more. It has to breathe and if it ever needs service the repairman needs to get around the unit. If its not accessible you have to make it accessible. Moving the unit is not included in the warranty. I have 18" on the two wall sides.

I did a little test to find the low spot that water will flow to around my washing machine and hot water heater by pouring a little water in the area where they are located. The water will pool in that low spot and that is where I placed the sensor. I just have it sitting on the floor in these low spots. I know it works because my wife was doing some hand wash in the sink which is right next to the washer and some water spilled on the floor. She was on the phone to me asking "how do I shut this thing off???". They work. Hope this help.

I am not quite sure I understand the question. Generally speaking my answer to ANY question pertaining to this model is A) RETURN IT NOW!!!! If it is less than 30 days old, or whatever window from the place of purchase. I wish dearly someone had given me that advice when I made the HORRID mistake of purchasing this worthless machine. B) Buy another washing machine that is NOT LG. I had to buy a GE about 6 months after I purchased this model BRAND NEW. but FINALLY i have clean clothes!!!! When I was using this NIGHTMARE machine, I would have to set it on "Bulky bedding" setting in order to get enough water in the drum to actually get the clothes wet enough to get clean. So yes, you have to set it to "bulky / bedding", stand over the machine for however long it takes to fill, then pause it, power off, then power back on and then chose the appropriate wash setting. WAY TO GO LG!!!!!!!! Congratulations on making the WORST most useless washing machine EVER!!!!

The measurements in the other answers are accurate but if you have a really tight space situation, be sure to allow at least 30" for the height (more if you want to take full advantage of the top shelf) and allow 22" for the depth as the handles curve outward. Mine fits very well between the washer and dryer.

There is a washer that is goes underneath the sink. It has to be "threaded with all thd hoses, slid up against the unerneat side of the sink and secured. I don't remember just how. Your instructions should show this. It's been some time since it was installed and my memory fades a little quicker these days. Lot's of luck. Joe

You should put the heater near the foot of the bed, maybe six inches to a foot from the end... You can place it anywhere there, but I've read that you should put it within the same distance from a side, so that if you need to move it, it's easier to access...

L think it would be too large. Also any vibration from the washer would be greatly magnified by the metal frame.

I am not sure that this size unit would work well with a washing machine. You may need a larger unit. I would pose this question to Eco Smart at their website.

But-of-course, you'll have to supply the Charles De Gaulle accent locally :-)). You have almost described my installation less the 15' form dryer part. I have discovered that there is a sensitivity to gusts of wind that don't seem to be adjustable. :-(, or the wind has a better path for my installation. Not too much bother, BUT, not perfect. According to instruction I believe you have better than 25' + whatever the Ls add as leeway.

Mine is installed in a 30" base. It is installed in my laundry room and is wonderful for washing my small dogs, farm boots and laundry items. It is exactly what I was looking for. It is beautiful with my white, grey, silver Cambria Quartz counter tops.

My husband installed ours, and he said he doesn't see why the unit couldn't be mounted in the basement. Ours is not installed under the sink (which I think is the norm), but about approx. 20 feet from kitchen sink. The only thing is that it would require longer lines. We love ours!

not a good idea to let it any piece of equipment get wet.even a power washer shouldn't be in the spray area.usually you can set it under the lee of the house or stretch a tarp over it or something.it just makes sense to protect the electrical components.some gennys have covers over the outlets but it makes sense to cover the whole thing.on the good side,i am very happy with mine. starts very easily and runs strong.good value in my opinion.you could do worse.
