We are remodeling a house and I am planning a laundry room. I currently have the big Miele's on pedestals. I am not super happy with the machines so I am open to replacing them at some point if I am convinced something else would be better (right now I am not :)

I will go thru and look at the specs for several models currently out there to compare sizes but generally speaking are washers and dryers just in a couple of basic sizes so swapping them out is no big deal?

I am attaching pics...is it hard to install/uninstall W/D with all that cabinetry around them? I have never had cabinetry or a folding shelf surrounding my laundry appliances so I am a little clueless about this :)

I picked these pictures because they looked like the most restrictive cabinetry configurations as far as W/D replacement, not because those are the layouts I am necessarily considering :)
