Camco Washing Machine Drain Pan | 31-inches x 35-inches (OD); 29-inches x 33-inches (ID) | Pewter (20788)

I paid a plumber to place this drip tray on a plywood frame so that a drain could be installed below it to take any water that leaked out of the washing machine straight outside. For some reason, the designers of this product have designed it so that the overflow pipe sticks up approximately a centimetre above the bottom of the tray. Thus, when water is released into the tray it just sits there until it reaches quite a high level and then there is no way to drain it through the drainage pipe. So it gets a star for catching the water and not letting it leak directly on to the floor. If you have a way of sucking up dirty water - other than through a straw - this might be good enough for you. If you're not into that sort of thing or don't own a straw or a water hoover then it will not, I imagine, be of much help to you - if, like me, you want it to drain the water away. Instead, like me, you will have to soak the lot up with a towel or similar and then put the towel in a bucket or similar and then cart it outside and hurl it into the garden in frustration. Yay!! Wine first.
