I am caregiver for mom. We are moving to a high rise. What shall we do with washer dryer portable dishwasher? Can't take it with us.

It will be two bedrooms on 5th floor of a 6 story place. Will the neighbors hear us or us hear them up, down, next door? Thank you.

On hearing neighbors it depends on the noise level that is generated. Also if there is carpeting or rugs which reduce alot of noise.

I don't know how populated the area you are in is but appliances may sell well if you advertise the sale of them.

Caregiver00, regarding noise by you or Mom, or by the neighbors, it all depends on how the apartment building was built. I have found the older the building, the quieter it will be. If the floors in the new apartment are not wall-to-wall carpeting, you can purchase 8x10 area rugs to help muffling the noise.

I assume you and Mom were renting at your previous place, right? Ask the landlord if he/she would like to purchase at a discount the washer and dryer. Or try to sell it on Craigslist, or place a note on the community bulletin-board.

As for the portable dishwasher, to be honest I didn't think anyone made those anymore. It might be best to donate it.

Hope your move goes smoothly :)
