Vibration Solution Pads

I just ran across this company today looking for some machinery mounting pads. My first thought was that they looked a little over hyped but who knows.

Has anyone ever used or had experience with their absorbent foot pads?

Yes...

Not worth your trouble.
Yes, they may help isolate the machine vibration from the rest of your house, but your machine may end up shaking itself to an early death.

Thanks Malcolm,

I figured that might be the case, there is just no magic bullet other then mass.

My appliances are in the basement on concrete so I'm not too worried.

On tile here.

I switched to these as a cheap substution under my Speed Queens when I discovered at least one rubber foot pad had become cracked, losing its grip and causing the occasional walking condition. It didn't take long to decide these were not the answer and I ended up ordering eight new feet from Alliance. Problem solved.

We recently got a new whirlpool duet front loader and in all honesty it hardly vibrates....even if the load is slightly off balance. Our laundry room is on the second floor and the machine sits on cermic tile. We even noticed that our dryer doesn't vibrate as much as it did when our old washer was here. Never had an issue with walking so far. It stays in place since the day it was installed.
