usually a side opening lid will open taller than a front to back design....
those DirectDrive Kenmores are still plentiful as used machines...... even if you found a front to back opening lid one, you could always flip the top, or whole cabinet to the base to make it fit your needs... my brother had a front to back Kenmore with a cabinet above it, he made a flip down piece out of wood that hid under the cabinet to hold the lid open as needed.... | ||

Size I think maybe the more unique thing about this washer (it's a Kenmore) is the height. It is 36" tall where most of the washers I've been looking at are 42"+ | ||

curious what sort of TL machine has a 43" tall cabinet?
give or take the adjustment of the leveling legs.... most standard TL machines, like you have pictured, are around 35 inches tall, that's just the cabinet, not including the control panel... if you have cabinets to clear for the lid to open, you need to open the lid to its highest point and measure from there..... for example.... Kenmore with rear opening lid......53" Kenmore with side opening lid......51" Frigidaire 1-18....................54" Speed Queen ST.....................52" Cabrio.............................58" your other option is a FL....and possible to install a base to raise it to the bottom of the cabinets....either way, you wouldn't lose storage.... there are also a few HE TL machines that offer a lid that folds in half when open a side note.....a strong hidden magnet tucked under the cabinet could also hold the lid open for you... | ||
