Used for New washer and dryer

Washer on spin cycle was making it feel like an earthquake in my house before installing these. It doesn't completely eliminate the vibration, but I'd say it's 50% better.

When they first arrived I was sceptical. The rubber pads seem flimsy and thin, but WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Our washer is on the second floor of a small townhouse, so spinning cycle caused vibrations feltat the floor and the room adjacent to the wash room. We had a black rubber squares before and: 1) washer kept shaking and shifting, and 2) falling off the pads, 3) they did not absorb vibrations well at all. Once we replaced squares with those pads: washer stayed put and I cannot feel vibrations even standing right in front of the washer! Amazing little things! You need to give them a try.

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.

Put these under the washer and no more walking,shaking or rattling!
