You can add these to your order during checkout.

Install washing machine at desired location

If we install your washing machine at the desired location, our installers will do the following for you:

  • Place the washing machine at the desired location.
  • Level the appliance.
  • Connect it to the water supply and drain.
  • Take the old washing machine with us.

We recommend connecting the washing machine to a grounded socket.

Place dryer on top of the washing machine

If you want to place your dryer on top of your washing machine, this works best with a stacking kit. A stacking kit makes sure your dryer is stable on the washing machine. This means you don't have to worry about it falling off during the cycle. If you buy a washing machine or dryer with a stacking kit, we'll install the appliances in your home.

Prepare for our delivery drivers

Prepare a few things if you choose our installation service.

  • Make sure the drain pipe for your appliance is at least 15cm.
  • Check the width of the doorposts, hallways, and stairwells that our delivery drivers have to go through. This way you're sure that we can position the appliance in the best possible way.
  • Do we take your old appliance with us? Disconnect it from the connectors.

We won't install your new appliance, but we'll take your old appliance with us. Place it unplugged at the front door.

Note: changing the door direction isn't possible

There's no installation service for changing the door direction of the washing machine. We don't adjust the standard door direction. This prevents the appliance from leaking. Some washing machines also have sensors in the door connection. Changing the door direction then causes problems. Check the door direction and whether it suits your circumstances before you buy. For example, if you put your dryer on top of or next to your washing machine.
