Whirlpool has added a new accessory to its whitegoods portfolio, in the form of the pedestal – a stand that is designed to alleviate lower-back risk when loading the machine, doubling as a handy storage unit.

The AMC906 pedestal allows the height of the front loader portal to be raised by 310mm to make access to the door and unloading to a basket much easier, says Whirlpool, potentially providing a solution to the bane of front-loading washing machines.

The pedestal attaches to the front load washer’s front feet to avoid the potential for vibration and increase safety.

Whirlpool’s pedestal also provides a drawer to cut down on the clutter of towels, soap powder and cleaning products in the laundry and with a quality finish it integrates perfectly with a Whirlpool laundry.
