                    Hi guys,
I need to get this sorted super quick as money is very tight unfortunately.
My integrated washer has died. Im looking to replace with a freestanding washer (much cheaper) that can be delivered on Saturday (otherwise price goes up if i dont order by midnight) so need a quick answer please 🙏
Current dimensions on the integrated are 81.5cm height plus 6cm legs so 87.5 total height. Depth is 54.5cm and that allows the current door to close. Width is 60cm.
The free standing I'm looking to buy is 60cm wide and 84cm high. It has a depth of 44 cm so 10.5 cm to play with in terms of depth and potentially attaching door to the panel next to it rather than the machine itself given 10cm extra clearance? Would that work?
If not it's not a problem it would just look better. Main priority is to fit it in height wise...
The new washer height is 2.5cm higher as a standalone unit compared to the old one. But the old one has 6 cm legs on it. Does the new one need legs and if so can they be at 3.5cm to equal the height of the old unit and therefore fit in the cabinet?
I know that's a lot of questions but any help would be really appreciated and needed!
Thanks.

            Whats the height of the space it has to fit into, generally a free standing mach has small adjustable legs enough to level a uneven floor.ANURADHA KOIRALA ??? go on throw it in google.0

            87.5cm high space. New machines measurements are 84 cm height.
So that gives 3.5cm clearance for the legs. Would that be enough?0 - 
            does you old machine not sit against a plinth? Possibly allow some space for buttons/dials - or is that included in the size spec?0
