Hello,
In our rental apartment, we have a washing machine (shown in the picture behind the red line) placed directly next to the bathtub. The problem is that a towel rail (gray line) is positioned just in front of the washing machine. When we moved in, we had to lift the washing machine into the corner—it was very heavy. Now, we plan to move into our house in mid-January and want to take the washing machine with us.
What is the best way to get the washing machine out of the corner?

That's all well and good, but it doesn't always work out. As I mentioned, our washing machine is located in the corner and can only be moved out by lifting it. It would take two strong people—one could stand in front, while the other carefully stands in the bathtub. We'll see how that goes when moving day comes.

If the heated towel rail is electric, I would uninstall it. There are only a handful of screws. But if it’s connected to the water system, I would leave it.In our case, there are exactly 3 screws; anyone should be able to handle that. Otherwise, they will have a serious problem later in their own home if they can’t even loosen 3 screws themselves...
In general, though, with two people, the washing machine should be lifted out over the bathtub.
Typical forum issue – the person asking the question doesn’t receive any useful answers and then doesn’t report back with the solution they finally chose. Paradoxically, further responses are then unwanted.
I found Explosiv’s suggestion really helpful, and in the future, anyone facing similar difficulties can find it through Google or the forum search – even if it no longer helps the original poster.

Since my brother and I planned to do the move together, I explained the issue with the washing machine to him about 6 weeks before the move. We both go to gyms and decided to focus on building strength in our biceps and deadlifts for the following 6 weeks.
On the first attempt, we managed to lift the machine together, one person standing beside the tub and the other in front.
