There may occasionally be situations where a washing machine would benefit from being raised off the floor. One such example would be if a washing machine was installed in a basement and was struggling to pump the water up to ground level. I have seen cases where raising the washing machine a foot or so would have made the difference. However, I would expect this accessory to only make a difference in cases where the pump almost drains the water out in time but times out or stalls for the lack of a small amount of extra time. There’s no guarantee this pedestal would fix this problem but it might do.
