stackables

Has anyone ever used stackable washers and dryers?

Since it looks like the county will not allow us to build a mudroom off the back of the house, I want to maximize the tiny laundry room and wondered if anyone has ever had stackable units and if so, how you liked them?

I looked at the stackables at Lowe's Home Improvement store and found that they were large enough do do all the washing and drying in my house ... the drawback was that it took height space away.

Since I have to put the washer and dryer in the tiny kitchen that I have I decided to get side-by-side  washers and dryers because it has to go next to refrigerator and with that I have to hide the washer and dryer in the kitchen next to the fridge.

 I don't have anything against stackables after looking but they do have this new kind of washer dryer mixed into one and after research I looked at it   and it seems like there's more problems with those then it's worth so hope that helps.

I would think that you would prefer stackable to side by side, which takes up more actual footprint.

I have a space right between two cabinets where one will fit nicely, and leave me floor space for all my laundry sorters. 

I am considering the front loaders for capacity and reliability.

 I think that the side-by-side washer and dryer would fit better in this kitchen because I really don't want a washer and dryer taller than the fridge or at the same height even if I could close it up and hide it just wouldn't look right.
