Default There are problems

I worked at large mansion where the owner stacked 4 sets of washer dryer combos.The housekeepers didn't like it because the dryer was to high or they were to short. The machine seemed to vibrate more, serviceing was a pain because now your pulling both machines out from the wall to get to them, if there's tile on the floor it gets scratched, vinyl gets torn your probably looking at close to 400 lbs. If you decide to do this make sure you invest in the new burst proof braided hoses with the automatic shut off built in, ( home depot sells them) in the event of a line break because chances are you won't be able to easily reach the water shut off. Just my opinion, having had to install and service these machine I wouldn't do it.
