Abstract

A laundry center may include a washing machine appliance, a dryer appliance, and a dispensing assembly. The dryer appliance may be vertically-aligned with the washing machine appliance. The dispensing assembly may be disposed between the washing machine appliance and the dryer appliance. The dispensing assembly may include a flexible hose and a dispensing nozzle. The flexible hose may extend between a water supply and a region above the washing machine appliance. The flexible hose may be movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The dispensing nozzle may be fluidly coupled to the flexible hose for selectively dispensing water from the water supply.
