We had a stacked Samsung at our last house. Loved it! It reduces the amount of bending you will need to do. It also frees up space.

You will not need to move the vent pipe. However, I’d recommend buying a rigid vent pipe that has a dedicated 90 degree angle vs. a bend. think I got it on Amazon, it’s designed specifically for minimum space behind unit. I’d also recommend stainless steel hoses vs rubber.

The distance should not be an issue if you have good water pressure, which you should have. I’d also recommend cleaning out your dryer exhaust vent (leaf blower or brush) while you have easy access to that area.
