Hi. I need a new washer. The majority state 85cm high. Is that inclusive of the adjustable height nuts(feet?).?
Thanks in advance
Tony

    I'm pretty sure the advertised height is their maximum height with the adjustable feet fully extended.

    I'd be surprised if it doesn't as the feet are integral part of a machine that it cannot work without.
    Mine is almost 86cm high from the floor.

  • Yes 85cm includes the feet. They are only for leveling so not that much thread length as washing machines don't normally go higher than 870mm (height of a base unit)

    85cm is fairly standard but if you have less than 85cm available, you can get a height reduction kit for some machines.
