      How much space is needed between the wall and washer/dryer? I have a small space and struggling with picking a washer set. I want it to have a larger capacity but fits in a 33″ deep space.

      33″ is tight. Many brands today are 30-32″ deep. Brands ask for 3″ behind for clearance, but you can put them really tight to the wall. The trick is to use right-angled washer hoses, and the dryer duct needs to line up right behind it. You can use 33″, but the installer needs to spec the hookups in a smart spot. I am at 34″, and I got mine to fit with 31″ deep machines. Tight but doable! all in the hookups.
