I got the 10" pedestals for my Duet pair and am glad I did even though they don't have storage. 15" would have been too high. I didn't want to do all the stooping necessary without the pedestals. The machines to stick out further from the wall and with pedestals the top surfaces are 10" higher than your standard washer & dryer so if you're used to using those surfaces when you pre-treat or process laundry like folding etc, you'll lose that option if you get the pedestals. I'm generally happy with my Duet washer but FL's do take longer to run through a cycle than your average TL. I'm used to it now and the shorter drying time as a result of high speed spin tends to even things out. My experience purchasing from Lowe's could not have been more different than yours at HD. I simply avoid HD if at all possible after being there on a recent Saturday morning and they only had 3 checkstands open. I'll check at my local ACE Hardware or at OSH before resorting to HD. Lowe's is still too far from me to just hop in and buzz over. |

Could you post pics of the machine? How about VIDS?! I have always wanted to see a Duet run a full cycle. |

The Duet will not be delivered until Monday November 12th. By then maybe I will have figured out how to post a video on YouTube. Still pictures will be no problem! |

To post videos on Youtube: Make separate 9-minute videos with a camcorder. Upload them To your computer. Make a new Youtube Account. Upload each video. |

Funguy, have you posted any videos of machines? Seems half of what you post is asking for videos! |

No, but once I get a camcorder that can transfer to a computer easy, a Youtube account and a good magnet to disable the lid lock on my Kenmore Oasis, I will do a full cycle vid with the lid up. |

Time for pics and vids. Or at least just pics. |
