We bought the pedestals with our washer/dryer (6-series), and love it all.  The pedestal works well, and has lots of storage, so we no longer need a shelf above them for supplies, which is good because it would be hard to reach with the bigger machines.  The pedestals are simple to use, with one adjustable divider to make the large space a little more manageable.  The space is rectangular rather than curved, so there's no wasted space, and we can use smaller boxes inside to organize smaller things.  And the drawers slide ope and closed very quietly and smoothly.

The washer/dryer is especially nice, and so easy to use.  I didn't know much about Electrolux before buying this, but the salesman knew the product well, because he also had this set, so he was able to tell us all about how nice they are.
