Pedastal Installation for Maytag Model MHW5500FW0 washer
We had to replace a Maytag 3000 series washer. I was hoping the old pedestal would work on the new one but it didn't fit the new one. I ordered this one and when I received it, it has almost the same dimensions as the old one. When this one is mounted, it does not fit perfectly like the old washer. The old brand was flush in the back. The back of the new washer has a two inch overhang over the pedestal. The front however does match up with the front of the washer. I thought I would have to return it because it was two inches shorter in depth but it does work.

Maytag Pedestal Drawers
I ordered 2 Laundry 12315 in. Laundry Pedestal with Storage Drawer in Granite and love them! They arrived when expected and in good condition. My husband and brother-in-law installed both pedestals in about an hour.
Definitely would recommend getting the pedestals because the washer/dryer is way too low and you will have back and knee problems if you don't install the pedestals!

Great Pedestal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pedestal is wonderful for storage, and I like how it adds extra height to the washer.

A must have
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t completely sure about the pedestal when I bought it. But it is a must have. It has a large draw for storing cleaning supplies, laundry detergent etc…and is designed specifically to fit even large containers. Also, it raises the washing machine to the perfect height, so it’s easy to load and unload. Pedestal is made of sturdy material and supports and stabilizes washing machine perfectly.

Good Pedestal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great but make sure the install attaches it correctly, using all the screws and levels the washer/dryer using a level

So far so good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had the washer and dryer for about a month and they both work great. Had to wait an extra week and a half for the pedestals, but they were worth the wait!

Whirlpool Pedestal
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this so we would not have to bend so far to access our laundry.
We purchased a Whirlpool but it shows up as Maytag?????

Doesn’t fit washer
The new model washer is deeper than pedestal so it doesn’t fit. The new model washer and dryer doesn’t have the connection so can’t attach them. Maytag needs to make pedestals that fit new models!

MUST BE WELL BALANCED
this is a really big machine- I didn't realize just how deep it was until my first load and trying to get out that last sock! I have a couple issues; first I have a pair of black jeans and no matter how I add the soap, I get lines on my pants. Second- the machine must be well balanced or your laundry will go off center and you will need to rearrange it. Third- I had really old Maytag machines before and they did not have anything fancy- hot, medium, cold- regular or permanent press. My old machine seemed to take less time.

Super addition to washer/dryer
We have had our pedestals for 8 years. They are terrific. They place the units at a comfortable height and the drawers are perfect for storing laundry-related stuff.

Does Not Fit but Works
Bought brand new Maytag washer and these pedestals.Dryer fits, front to back, but washer is 2" deeper and so hangs over the back of the pedestal by 2".Seems to work and I cannot find another Maytag pedestal with deeper dimension so I guess I will keep and hope it does not cause any imbalance in washer action.
