Thank you!! My daughter is moving from Kansas City to Columbia this weekend. She was going to sell her washer and dryer, but I convinced her that we could move them in my Honda Odyssey! This video really helps!
For such long distance move it will be hard to keep smooth driving. I advise to fix the washer drum by special bolts... or put something in the gap between drum and housing to prevent its vibrations and shacking during bumpy road.
@@cti-gasdetectionspecialist4153 i sure you can find these bolts online cheap. The something like towels is just my idea and not sure how it will work. I would remove one panel (top for example) and put something in between drum and walls. One more tip: it is hard to remove all water from whasher. To keep your car dry put film and towel under the washer.
I’m going to move an Maytag top loader from the NYC area to my daughter in Philly. The tape measurements say that it will fit in my Chevy Equinox (with the seats down). I hope so. I was just going to stuff the basket with a large blanket to protect it. As for getting the unit in - we have a dog ramp that we bought to help one of our old dogs (she was very big, and infirm in her last year), so I’ll use the ramp. Our current dogs are even bigger, but they’re young!
Videos like this should be millions of views, not some sleezy stripper looking gal. This video helped me today, no need for 2nd person. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you! Check my another video how i moved huge fridge. I have a video where moray eel bite a man. It took it 2+ years to get millions of views. Without direct advertisement only Likes,subscriptions, comments and views promote a video on youtube. It should get attention it deserve in one or two years.
I’m a woman, 43, that lives alone, and I need to move my appliances by myself, and up to my 2nd floor appartement (only stairs). I’m planning on taking them appart, to have lighter parts, and put them back together once upstairs. Sofa is done, next will be my oven. Will update.
moving solo up and down stairs might be tricky. usually i use dolly lifting it with cargo step by step. my friend makes rails from wood and use ropes to move very heavy cargo (i never try this but i saw it).
You seem like a cool dude Rus I think this video has inspired me to start a channel I was checking out your channel. You have some really cool videos, and they have like 50 views and then you have one on moving a washing machine and has 32k views I guess you never know what people are going to watch hell I'm here commenting on your washing machine movement. Great Video though good stuff
Thank you! yea you are right. It hard to predict what people will love the most. The latest my disovery/best seller is a short on how to remove vinyl print from shirt. Another my video (moray eel bite a fisherman) i expected very intersting with millions views in fact got those millions but it tool couple years before it got noticed. The promotion from other channels or youtube recommendation is what makes most of views. i value any amount of like and views because some my videos are complicated and require skills to understand and use. i.e. maybe it is small numbers but they are skilled and smart. Even if it will be only who like and need it then it counts as a win and not a waste.
@@adithyagowda4642 I did it, but I used one piece of solid Plywood, and a Bed spread to protect it. slid in there with no issue, and I strapped it down inside so it would not shift or slide when i was driving.
Well, although he did it the very hard way, he did it. Within about 4 minutes I can load 2 top load washers standing up straight behind the front seats and load 2 dryers laying down sideways. No wood needed. Just tilt it sideways on the back of the van and easily push it up inside. If I wanted to haul front loaders like he has, I could stand all 4 right side up... tilt it to the back bumper, push, stand it up and then do the same thing over. Hell, he even makes the dolly part complicated. Just put the dolly under it and tilt it back. I do it every day delivering washers and dryers and make a profit of between $460-$900 for 2 sets delivered. Guy asks if he wants help and he says he is 'ok'. I don't think so buddy. And for the record... you can drive 200,000 miles with 2 sets in the back of a mini van and it will drive as smooth as a BMW. I know, because I've done it. I was rolling, especially watching you unload. 🤣 Great effort though.
well ... 1) you are obviously stonger than me. i am not doing it on daily basis. 2) you do not care about paint of your car bumper. i do. 3) this video is for those who do not want to pay a $500-$1000 and do not have your strength, skills and care about their car exterior
@@RUS_US I'm 57, you looked as strong or stronger than me. Actually, the part where you got inside the van trying to get it out... I couldn't have done that, way too hard. I never strain 1 muscle in my body. It actually made me tired watching. It takes me right at 4 minutes to load 2 washer, 2 dryers and put my big appliance dolly on top of the van and strap it down. 2. All you had to do was put a blanket over your bumper, that's what I do. 3. I make $100k+ a year doing this so I would be fine if I damaged the paint, but I don't. It's all good buddy, I just thought it was funny that you thought you was saving your bumper when all you had to do was put a blanket over it. Where I load the dryers from the back, the paint looks new on my van and I've used it almost every day for right at 5 years. It's ok though... when I was a kid I let the air out of my bicycle tire to take it across town to my uncle to repair because I thought it was make it lighter if I took the air out 🤣 Have a great week!

it is really cool to do that by one! ! awesome job! love the idea of wood rail! it works even there are more people! one question: washer will be damaged on its back, how about dryers? is there anything to tke.care by moving a dryer? I am thinking to buy a used dryer and that would be my first time to move such applications!
Hi… I'm considering buying a used washer and would like to buy and drive it home about four miles on local streets in my Ford Focus hatchback. But, from what I've been reading, the washer could be damaged buy laying it on its side or back. Do you remembering if you did anything specific beforehand in preparation of the machine being moved? Thank you.
you should drive smoothly like with baby in car then it will be ok. The moovers and trucks are not so gently and for sure they can damage it. To prevent this the special bolts/screw exist to clamp the washer barrel during mooving ... but for sure you do not need it
@@RUS_US Thank you for the quick response! I'm not a mechanical person, so excuse my question, but since it is a used washer, are the "special bolts and screw" still on the back of the machine or would they've been removed?
@@byronfoster1651 it depends on how smooth is the ride. Most probably for any small car driving it will be safe. In a big track it could be rough. Or when a box with washer is moving from track to shop. The moovers think how to move faster but not smoother.

i was i rush, tired to disconnect and get it out from the house + it was a hot day. without the rails it would be much much harder + i would damage my car.

@@RUS_US Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it!
Much appreciated. I see people commenting on potentially damaging the washer this way. Is there any downside to doing this with a dryer?
Dryer drum does not have so much freedom to move. I.e. it is fixed good and should be fine as is
@@RUS_US Thank You!
Wow nice
The more I see videos like this, the less inclined I am to pay nearly 1000 to movers
:D

one question: washer will be damaged on its back, how about dryers? is there anything to tke.care by moving a dryer? I am thinking to buy a used dryer and that would be my first time to move such applications!
Both washer and dryer should by ok if you will drive like with baby in your car. The drier is much more resistable to hits vs washer.
What’s the purpose of the 2x4 when u could just lean then lift it on the van the push it in.
to not scratch car, washer and use smaller push and lift forces.
That does make it easier and safer. But for me personally, it's not that heavy.
when i was younger i did it by simple lifting. Now spline and lower back issues prevents me from doint something similar.
Your heavy breathing was enough to get me to hire a mover! LoL
I was exausted by disconnecting it and moving out of the house. I.e. you should hire maitanance guy too
Haha, bet the guy offering to help was surprised when you hefted that thing up in there
yea he was! 😄 . i felt sorry though that refuse the help 😁 but that day he learned something
Whats the size of the wood bro ? Thanks
2x4 inch x 8feet frome Homedepot ... cost $4 per wood
@@RUS_US Might cost $8 per wood now, but still ... LOL
@@tonychen4589 yea ... i see ... now it is $6.65 before tax in Homedepot in CA ...

These locking nuts /screw come with every washer, pls check with owner of they have it. Local hardware store would also have it.
@@smartsant24 Thank you!
I need a man for this.
What’s the size of the wood?
2x4 inch
Wonder if I can pull off this move with a Honda CRV. Probably if I stick to one at a time.
take a measuring tape and check available space vs items size before try
Are those two wooden beams
yes. 2x4 inch
I like it coz save me lóta ò $ for transport.th as mks
isnt this how they built those pyramids back in the day?
🤣
Lots of heavy breathing in the beginning lol
it was 40min hard work in house and backyard before. and hot day.
Is that true that a washer can be damaged from transporting on its back?
if drive on rough surface then yes. the cylinder should be fixed during moving OR you should drive slow and smooth like you have baby in car
@@RUS_US would a washer that is top-loaded be damaged if transported in a minivan or just a front loader?
@@byronfoster1651 it depends on how smooth is the ride. Most probably for any small car driving it will be safe. In a big track it could be rough. Or when a box with washer is moving from track to shop. The moovers think how to move faster but not smoother.
You pack the drum out with polystyrene or wood. And replace the bolts that go in the back to stop the drum moving. When it’s delivered.
Lol don't listen to him. Top loaders highly unlikely. Front loaders laid on side can have the suspension rod slip apart. No permanent damage.
He is moving one of the lighter washers. Not one of the new LG or Samsung heavyier washers.
check my video with fridge. idea is the same weight does not really matter because it is all on woods
Hahahah
Thanks for littering!
