I need a washing machine which allows the waste water from the machine to be connected to a spigot on the waste water pipes under the laundry tub which is at 50cms. I would prefer a top loader but it seems that this will not be possible, however, does anyone know of a top loader which will allow me to connect to waste water at 50cms. If not, then I will need a front loader with the same needs. Re the front loader, can anyone recommend one with, if not a soak cycle, at least one which can take white loads including nappy san (ie, won't damage the drum) and do a long wash which might be enough. I want a machine which will take at least 2 queen size sheets and a duvet cover at the same time. I have also been wondering whether if I put a washing machine on a stand to raise it up whether that would be acceptable to then connect the waste water hose to the waste water pipe...

Thanks bigreader, I will post when finished, I'am hoping for a soft look in an 80's tiled and timber open plan laundry which is full of sun and looks out over the pool and deck. I have some white end panels that match our kitchen to help build it in, our new $50 front loading washer which my son and husband found at a local second hand store, the lock on the door wasn't working so they being the clever guys they are improvised and we now have a very unique handle that I love made from a piece of free form timber. The bench top is only 60cm deep so the machine will protrude a bit, I'am hoping I can get it to work as a wider bench top is a lot more expensive cheers

Hi JE C, You could try baking soda, mix with water and a little detergent, treat area leave about 30 minutes then give a bit of a scrub with broom and rinse off, I use this to remove marks off brick paving, always have baking soda on hand it works amazingly for so many things.
