I notice that outside the US, you never see washers/dryers anywhere but the bathroom. Of course, outside the US, there's nearly always a floor drain in the bathroom so it's logical in case of overflows. Not sure why we do things so differently here.

Curious about how you access them for repair / service. Does that counter top come apart easily?

The baseboard comes off by undoing a few screws and the appliances can then be slid out.

It has been great! We did this in 2005 and we think it's one of the best things we did to the house. The room also has a glass-enclosed shower.

The two-story units in my development have the original laundry room in the basement.

Older folks rip out the garden bathtub in the master bath to make a "no-step-up" large, walk-in shower, also removing the original freestanding corner shower to place washer/dryer (stacked or side by side) so they can live on one level.

No need to use the stairs.

I had one in my last house. The laundry room was downstairs, bedrooms were all upstairs so I replaced the washer and dryer with a ventless combo. I can't remember the brand but at the time it was one of the few sold in the US. Now many of the major brands offer them.
