Stackable Washing Machine Drain Pan - Great for Apartment-Sized Washers or Stackable Units - Protects Floors from Leaks & Measures 28-Inches x 30-Inches - Crafted of Heavy-Duty Plastic (21006)

Perfect! The Right Choice!

I installed wood floors recently and I already know that my washer leaks, but i wanted to run the wood in the utility room as well. So I purchased this pan to go under the washer and it is working great. It is protecting those floors from that leaky washer. It is sturdy, does not harm the floor, the color works well under the washer. It is thick and the right size for my washer.

My mother needed this for her compact deep freezer and it worked out perfectly. Fit great, look great, it's sturdy, and price wasn't too bad. It seems as though it should work great if her deep freezer should leak etc.

First - note that the dimensions of this pan are top edge to top edge and the sides of the drain pain slope slightly "up and away" from the bottom to the top. Our laundry center measures about 27" side-to-side and 28-1/2" front-to-back and it fit with about 1" on the sides and 1/2" front and back. You can also raise - or shim - the legs on your laundry center to allow the bottom of the machine to clear the top of the drain pain, gaining a little more room if needed (this might make your machine less stable and more prone to vibration on the spin cycle - but most things in life involve tradeoffs). Although raising your machine could place the outside edges of the laundry center enclosure (case) slightly outside the edges of the drain pain, most leaks are going to be inside the laundry center case itself. While the plastic drain pan is flexible plastic, construction seems solid enough for the purpose. I was able to tilt up the back side of the laundry center, slide the drain pan under, then slide the machine back into the pan (helps to brace the back of the pan against something solid so you can push against it). However, it sure would be a lot easier for two (or three) people to put this in place. Our laundry center sits behind a 30" door so I had to cut away a small portion of the door stop to allow the pan to slide in and out. I have moved this set-up several times with only one problem - the drain line. This drain pan comes with a gasketed 1-1/2" PVC fitting (you have to cut a hole in the bottom of the pan to install the drain) which allows the pan to be connected to a drain - the pan itself will only hold about 7 gallons of water and a typical laundry center holds at least twice that much. If all the water leaks out of your laundry center, no drain pan will be able to hold the total amount without an outside drain. Fortunately, we have a 2-1/2" drain centered in the back of our laundry closet. Unfortunately, we had to take off the cover plate for the main drain to allow the pan drain to fit inside. This means we have to tilt the machine forward until the drain line clears the main drain before we can slide the machine out of the closet for service. For most people, this will be a rare occurrence, so shouldn't be too troublesome. I would have preferred that the 1-1/2" pan drain exit flush with the bottom of the drain pan rather than extending below the bottom - I may solve this problem with a hacksaw if and when I have to move the machine again. Hopefully, that won't happen unless the machine overflows again (twice in 13 years - once too often!). Bottom line - I would have awarded 5 stars if the inside dimensions had been shown (or were easy to find on-line) and the pan drain had an option to exit flush with the bottom of the pan.

Full disclosure - I am not using this under a washing machine. After an incident where my air conditioning unit malfunctioned and caused a small flood in the utility closet, I was looking for a waterproof pan or mat to line the bottom of the closet. This product was a perfect fit and was significantly less expensive than other options I was able to find. The raised ridges are not an issue for me, but I could see how they could be a problem if you try to stack certain washers onto this pan. For me though it was an ideal, cost-effective solution.

Works for the washing machine.

A quality made perfect solution to a long standing problem!! My two aging cats are 16 years old and like some, aren't as careful when it comes to using their litterbox as intended: they'd miss their box and 'do it' over the edge instead. I'd put lots of pee pads around, but still it looked sloppy and they weren't always as leak-proof as advertised. After I refinished my floors, I knew I'd have to come up with something better. This pan was the perfect solution! I still line the pan with pee pads but it is so easy to keep clean and no more leaks onto the floor! And the size is perfect - plenty of perimeter around the box to catch any messes they may do. The cats must like it too because since I started using this pan, they have not missed once over the edge of their box. Not sure why, but it works for me! It's also a very sturdy pan - so if you are going to use it as it was intended, it should be great!

I had to return this for a refund. I thought I bought the best one except unfortunately it made the GE Stackable washer/dryer off balance because of the ridges in the tray. So I thought I bought a washer/dryer that didn’t work. It was only the tray making it off balance. Luckily it is working just fine.

Les dimensions sont pour pour l'extérieur. Il faut tenir compte d'un rebord tout le tour d'environ d'un pouce. Il faut le prévoir dans les dimensions avant de passer la commande. Ne fonctionne pas sur ma laveuse.

My use case for this Drain Pan is a little different ... I used it to make a DIY Pee Pad for my dog. Originally I wanted to by a Porch Potty but when I found out is was $259 (USD) I decided to build my own. This drain pan provides ample room for your dog to do his or her business. I bought some good quality artificial turn from my local hardware store and after cutting it to size laid it into the drain pan. The end result was perfect ... a large doggie pee pad for under $75 dollars. My home made pee pad worked perfectly for training our new puppy. We keep the DIY doggie pee pad on our deck and our dog loves to use it ... it really works. Every week we drain it and rinse it off. After 6 months I replaced the carpet but the pan is still intact with no cracks or leaks. It's been outside in the sun, with temperatures as high as 35ºC and as low as -30ºC. On the durability scale I give this pan a 10 Overall I've very please with this drain pan. It's well made, durable and works great as a DIY Doggie pee pad.

Great item fast shipping

Great product but disinterested come with fitting. Got lost maybe???

Smaller than advertised but fit my washer on it. Slides around not sure if the construction guys broke my washer or if it bounces more now because it’s on this thing.
