I come from the land down under - its actually the house thats upside down and I rotated the image.

It's so he can reach the controls while it's mounted! I guess anyway - Idk why really.

It's alright, it's in Australia

My first thought as well

It’s Australia and super common in apartments here. INB4 everything up side down, down unda 😉

Yeah, this seems like it would be potentially an issue if the idler wheels aren’t designed to support the drum weight like this.

Edit: looks like there are a couple brands that allow this, Electrolux being one.

Seems like a bad idea, but maybe it's kosher if the manufacturer says so?

Same. Kinda blew my mind

Seems especially crazy since this looks like a gas dryer? How do the burners work?

This is Sylvie

Now this is what the internet is supposed to be for! Cat photos

OP can avert that catastrophe with a covered box

I've got a nice kind that you roll to the side to collect the clumps

Ill update if that happens but I like to think I'm pretty good on the tools to avoid that.

Made for it - comes with a kit to wall mount if required.

Quite common in Australia and New Zealand.

It doesnt really vibrate much, simple belt driven barrel and a heating element.

The thing is 40kg fully loaded so it would take a fair whack for it to come off the mount which is supported across 3 studs.

The wall on the left is out of level by about 15mm bottom to top. However I have a laser level and it makes life very easy when needing to do any of this stuff.

Nothing quite like lining things up with the ceiling, getting out the level, and realizing your house isn't level.

Second vote for a laser level. It’s still miserable, but easier.

Thanks!

Well to try and answer your questions:

• It does work
• Its not really unreadable so its fine
• I think it dries the same, I'd have to ask my other half
• The lint trap still works well because its vented so the air still passes through it

We've been using it the right way up for years so lint had collected in the botton of the actual unit and when I mounted it upside down that all fell through the unit body. It did cause it to smell like burning fabric for the first 30 mins running it upside down down but I just stood next to it with a fire extinguisher until it "burnt off" the smell you could say.

Now been running perfectly with no burning smell for 10ish loads of laundry!

Good ol' vented - didnt know condensing ones existed

You'd find almost the exact same items here in NZ too, though "Omo" detergent is branded "Persil" here.

You must live next door

All from Hammerbarn, I think 20 bucks a shelf I cant remember. Rails were 20 each and the shelf arms were a few bucks each.
