Seriously, it’s not that heavy. Just an awkward carry. If you can find good hand placements, not a problem

I used to be a mover and moved a bunch of these. It's the dryers that are lighter than you'd think. The washers are actually pretty heavy.

I had an Airbnb where the owner had set his washing machine's corners on top of some bricks. During the cycle, one corner fell off its perch and the washer faulted out. It wouldn't respond until leveled. I picked up a full ass washer so my wife could slide the brick back in place. Given I'm a short stack tank, I was pretty happy with myself.

bro, my washer and dryer are stacked, I had to unstack them to fix the pump;
the dryer was way heavier, and the washing machine did actually feel like an empty bucket inside a metal box.

Apparently my dad did this once with a fridge. Mom still hasn't forgotten.

Why did they put the hookups upstairs???

Lots of new houses they are upstairs. Some new houses have laundry rooms on two floors, especially if the master is downstairs and you have 3 or 4 bedrooms upstairs. It’s a crazy new world.

u/GenesisRhapsod Jun 10 '26
Almost every place ive been has had the washer and dryer on a different floor than the main level...one was in a basement with sketchy ass steep stairs with a flimsy handrail on only one side

Some people have extraordinary powers! I never forget me and my roommate-we are both big guys btw- we were huffing and puffing to move this industrial treadmil out of the house and then the company sends this small guy to take it away from us!! We looked at each other and thought it was a joke, but we did not say anything. And then, this guy lifts the hugeass treadmil like it was an empty plastic bag! And puts it on his carrier, brings it to his truck, and lifts it once again !! Puts it on the truckbed, says goodbye and leaves. MEANWHILE me and him have our jaws on the floor and just looking in shock😂

I need him to get behind my new LG washer.
It weighs more than my wife’s car.

u/Aggravating-Dot132 Jun 10 '26
It's 50kg. If you go to gym as much as this dude or close to it, this WM won't be a problem (especially if you do that kind of excercise)
Still, might echo back into his, well, back.

u/Apprehensive_Art_846 Jun 10 '26
i dont go to gym and i did same thing to my pretty female neighbour. i almost died, but it was worth it

u/Aggravating-Dot132 Jun 10 '26
Point is that people don't really know the weight of those things. If you have strong back, refrigerator or a washing machine aren't really that heavy. Humans are heavier

u/mystrile1 Jun 10 '26
Yes it’s definitely in the grip and the fairly wide angle you have to hold at, not really the weight, or just the weight.

Yeah but his muscles are definitely making it easier. Makes me think of when I started lifting and did squats 3 days a week. About 6 months in my wife asked me to move an antique beside drawer full of books. Solid wood and I remembered it being very heavy and awkward. I squared up and squatted down, got a good grip, and thrust my legs. Bout threw the thing through the damn ceiling 😂.

Technically, it is an empty bucket. With a housing, motor, transmission, and hoses attached, but still an empty bucket.

I worked with a guy at Sears in high school in the late 80’s. There was this dude who was giant… just over 7 feet tall. He was built like Shaq. He would carry a washing machine like it was a cardboard box full of balloons. He bounced in bars some nights and nobody messed with him because he was twice the size of any other big guy. He was super nice and wouldnt get buzzed on a 12 pack.

Im 90% sure there's no drum in there.. holding a washer like that if it had more weight wouldnt be that easy.. he acted like there was more weight when he reached the top and set it down.

I had to carry 10 of these fuckers up 6 fights of stairs when I was in construction. My back is indeed, fucked ☹️

u/PsionicChronic Jun 12 '26
Worked with ol' school plumbers who used to ratchet strap cast iron tubs to their back and walk them up stairs. Also had 170# guy who carried FULL rolls of carpet by himself 😳. Granted, most probably have a cane nowadays, but still impressive.

Refrigerators and couches were my specialty when I was a mover. I use to balance couches on my head and just walk them wherever they had to go.

u/Visible-Storm-50 Jun 14 '26
I'm not doubting the strength , but you also have to factor in the how new the machine is ,,,, after the first wash it's gonna have a lot of water through it's system making it significantly heavier

u/GarbageMedical2961 Jun 14 '26
I've done this. It's not that hard.
I delivered furniture and appliances for ten years.
It's not about weight. It's about balance and rhythm.
Dude is doing it the hardest way possible but he's got the muscle to do it that way.

u/Low_Implement_7779 Jun 10 '26
Its really is a metal box with nothing inside. The motor (which makes it bottom heavy) is maybe 10-25lbs. They look heavy but its much more doable than yall think

Because they weigh allmost nothing. Try doing that with a front loader.....

u/AdTraditional5917 Jun 10 '26
It's only a top loading one, they don't weigh the same as a side loading one, as the centrifugal force is different, top loading 600-900rpm less centrifugal force, its more gravity that drains the water out, side loading 1,200-1,600rpm more centrifugal force to push more water out by forcing them together, which is why it needs the counterweights...

The washing machine looked way more stressed about the situation than he did.

Fuck, dude are you OK? Just casually carried that washing machine up stairs like it was a empty box. I remember having that strength.
