Ideaworks Washing Machine - Anti Vibration Pads - No noisier, Walking washers - Set of 8, Black

I was a little skeptical how well this would work considering the price…boy was I wrong. I have a small double stack washer and dryer on second floor of my townhome. Anytime we used it you can feel it shaking the floor anywhere upstairs. It would also slide and make a lot of noise when vibrating. After putting pads on, it no longer slides or vibrates the floor. It still vibrates very slightly when it first begins to spin which I think is normal. Couldn’t ask for much more at this value!

Works good if I turn my spin cycle down to low. That’s fine with me. Anything to keep my new strong washer from running away!

We have our Maytag Neptune front load washer/dryer on the second floor of our home. This means they sit on a plywood/joist floor base. This also means there is some give when compared to resting on a ground floor concrete slab. With that said, almost everyone I know has experience of vibration noise with their washer/dryers when on the second floor as well. Our washer would tend to walk quite a bit when washing jeans or towels. Sometimes moving as much as 6 inches! Recommendation - make sure your appliances are leveled!You came here to read about these pads not where my appliances are right? These pads felt sturdy in my hand but when you flip them over, the underside is semi hollow. There are criss-cross rubber channels the serve the provide support to the upper cup and keep the sides from crushing. There appears to be other pads that are fully solid in construction but these being hollow didn't appear to crush much under the weight of the washer. Being hollow may actually aid in the vibration reduction as it allows some flexing whereas a solid one will may just transfer the shakes to the floor. I guess that also depends on what is made of.The round washer/dryer foot fit perfectly inside the cup and only raised the height about half an inch. It did a good job of reducing the felt vibration during the washer use. Whereas prior to installing these pads, the whole house would sing in concert with the spin cycle, worse when it full of jeans or towels. The washer still did tend to walk when I washed a comforter and sheets as a test. I will be looking for a different washer solution.PROS: cost, this is one of the least expensive anti-vibration pads available here on Amazon. Fitment was spot on and did not raise the appliance too much. Did reduce the vibration, if I had to put a number on it, I would estimate it to be 75% reduction in perceived vibration. We should have looked into these years ago!CONS: the rubber did compress a bit after installation. Understandable as it is hollow underneath but my concerns is over time the rubber will take a set and become less flexible thus negating its ability to absorb vibrations. Because the bottom has cut outs, there is less surface to floor contact area, this is why my washer still walked around on the spin cycle.OVERALL: I would recommend these pads especially if your goal is to reduce vibration and washer walking isn't the main problem. If trying to solve washer walking I would keep looking for other answers.

I can’t say enough good things about these little cushions! Our Samsung front loading washing machine used to sit on a pedestal and worked fine for a while however I started noticing the spin cycle was slowly getting louder and louder until finally one day I heard a nasty thumping then finally a banging sound during the spin cycle. The washer had moved so much that it started hitting our cabinets and it even bent one of the screw in adjuster feet at the bottom of the pedestal. I called a repair guy and he said it was done with and I should buy a new washing machine. I was sad because all though I bought it second hand I hadn’t owned it that long. I didn’t feel right about getting rid of my washing machine at that point either. I decided to take the pedestal off to lower the washers center of gravity and use these as a sort of raiser so the washer wouldn’t be too low to the ground. I tightened all the washer legs and slightly adjusted them to where the machine was level. Then I simple placed these under the washer feet. It took maybe 10 cycles but each cycle got lower and lower with the vibrations. Now I can barely hear any knocking or thumping even when washing large blankets and the machine actually cleans our clothes better. I don’t use the pedestal anymore but that’s alright. These are worth every penny! Most of my family ordered some for themselves because they seen how effective they are. Highly recommend! Great product that will save you from major repairs!

These didn't fit my Maytag Bravos washer so I can't say how effective they'd be if they fit right. I tried them under the feet but the washer was a bit uneven with the feet not fitting.

I used these for a mini fridge that was annoyingly buzzy and it killed the sound immediately. Relatively easy to install and they stay in place good. Seems to be durable and a quality material.

I now have a few dozen of these pads strictly for home audio use. These pads are very effective at decoupling subwoofers from a bare floor. They are also great used as supports under audio components such as receivers and amplifiers, not only for vibration but also for separating components for better airflow and cooling. The price is right too. Highly recommended.

Just what I needed I have tried everything to keep my washing machine in place every time I did a load of laundry it continue to move across the floor we adjusted the legs tried other products that said it would take the vibration out and none of them worked I purchased this and I saw the entire problem if you have a washing machine or dryer that is running across the floor I would definitely recommend using I have heavy loads that I use in my front lawn with a lot of heavy jeans and this works perfectly the washing machine has not moved at all since this has been installed

I stacked a ventless dryer on a full size washer with these installed on the dryer. The dryer doesn't move at all. Even with aggressive spinning by the washing machine.

very good

La verdad yo las quería para ponerlas en las patas de mi mueble de baño y quedaron perfectas así si cae agua no se echa a perder la madera , me encantaron y cumplió su proposito

Work great

I was skeptic while orderig this imported rubber pad. This is my first international order, I must say it was very well packed, original item just like on US amazon website.Does what it says, reduces vibration and stops the machine from walking most of the time, even when it moves its only by few cms.Note: Stand for washer/dryer washing machines are not easily available in India, most of them arw built for only washer washing machine this is the budget friendly option if you've a washer/dryer.
