Tools and Hardware Reviews of Silent Feet - Anti-vibration Pads for Washing Machines and Dryers (Gen 2)
Customer Review: Let your washer go into hyperspace and don't take you with it
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether or not these pads work for you seems to depend on your specific washer model and floor situation, so I'm giving you my setup: I have an LG washer/dyer combo unit in a pre- war Manhattan walkup. I did not have tremendous vibration problems to begin with, as the washer sits close to a load- bearing wall and I wouldn't dare let it spin on High. Still, on Medium the floor would vibrate and the items in the fridge next to it would rattle. I figured that couldn't be good for the building or my neighborly relations.
Enter the Silent Feet. I didn't expect much after reading another reviewer's verdict with his LG combo unit. But, in my case, the appropriate word is "wow". The vibrations are gone! Everything is serene in the fridge again and if I close my eyes and stand next to the washer, I can barely tell that it's spinning. The machine is just shaking away by itself (a lot more so than before since it's no longer connected to the floor) and it actually becomes blurry at 1200 rpm (20Hz), like in a SciFi movie before things disappear into subspace.
Oh, and forty bucks - it seems a lot for some rubber pads, but since the product worked so well for me and they give 10 years warranty, I think it's fair. Also I had looked into an industrial solution before, but dropped it after I realized that those pads or mounts easily go for $400 - a piece!
Customer Review: Performs Exactly As Promised
Summary: 5 Stars
Prior to buying this product, we experienced the same vibration and "walking" problems described in other reviews. It was so bad that we talked to a contractor about ways to anchor/contain the washer to prevent most of the movement. He quoted a couple of expensive options, then suggested that we check the Internet for other solutions.
I found Silent Feet on this site and decided to give them a try based on the good reviews and reasonable price. I wasn't disappointed. They have eliminated almost all of the vibration and noise from our front loading washer - to the extent that we can even use the faster spin cycles without fear of the thing taking flight across the room. When I installed them, I outlined the pads with a marker to see how much the machine moved on the tile floor. They have been in place since April and the washer hasn't moved a hair.
Silent Feet are absolutely worth the money. And the installation (hate to even use that word since there really isn't any) couldn't be easier.
Customer Review: Outstanding Product

I don't usually write reviews on products that I purchase online. I had to make an exception for these Anti-vibration pads. They have more than exceeded my expectations!! Our LG washer is just over a couple of years old and was starting to make alot of racket, we bought this new front loader to get away from our old style, noisy washing machine. I thought I had wasted money getting a front load washer and was seriously considering buying something else. I called LG trying to find out why I was experiencing so much vibration. They asked if I had the washer on any type of pad and I said no. I checked Amazon and found these with a quick search. I hesitated at first due to the price but thought if they worked it would be alot cheaper than a new washer. Boy am I glad that I tried these pads. Now we can barely hear the washer and it stays put now as well. They were easy to install and the results are simply amazing. If your washer is giving you the shake, rattle and roll give it some "Silent Feet", you won't be sorry.Customer Review: Why didn't I know about these sooner?

Our laundry room is located on the first floor of our house between the kitchen and the garage. Our front load LG washer has ALWAYS shaken the house on a spin cycle. We had the repairman out who gave the line about how front load machines are supposed to be on concrete floors. Well that wasn't going to happen. So we've been enduring the house shaking for 3 years now until I did a quick Google search on the problem. After reading about anti-vibration pads, I decided to try these and they work incredibly well.
I like this set because it comes with two pads for the back that can slide on the floor and two that are sticky for the front to keep the washer in place. Installation was easy and the difference is huge. The washer itself still shakes, but the vibration and reduced noise stays in the laundry room where it belongs. I'm very happy I bought these.
Customer Review: Works Very Well

We have front-load washer and dryer on the second floor of our town home. Before installing the anti-vibration pads, the washer would shake the whole house, sometimes sounding like an aircraft was about to take off. It was unbearable, and we couldn't run loads of laundry when our son was sleeping for fear of waking him up.
I thought the price tag was a little pricey, but bought two sets -- one for the washer, which REALLY needed something, and one set for the dryer, simply because I'm anal like that. They have made a world of difference! You can barely hear them running now, and they even improved the dryer too, so I'm glad I bought both sets.
My only complaint is: now that my machines don't make noise, I can never tell when the load is done. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
Highly recommended.
