Floordirekt Premium anti-vibration mat 60 x 60 cm, made in Germany, for washing machine, dryer, etc., can be cut to size, available in 4 thicknesses (60 x 60 x 2 cm)

We bought this for two reasons. One to reduce noise on a fast spin washing machine. Two to stop the washing machine moving on a wood floor. It works in both respects. We went for the thicker mat (20mm) as others had found thinner versions were less effective. I think this was good decision as the 20mm mat is very substantial and simply works. Top tips: 1. If your washing machine is plumbed in under a worktop, make sure you have the required extra 20mm headroom above the machine once the mat is installed. If you have less than 20mm, obviously order a mat which is less than your gap. 2. It is very difficult to lift the washing machine onto the mat and then expect to move it back into position. So we overcame this by cutting the square 60cm x 60cm mat exactly in half with a straight edge and a Stanley knife. You can then leave the washing machine in position and gently raise the right half of the machine and slide the right half of the mat into place under it. Then do exactly the same with the left so that the base mat fits against itself to reform the perfect square. I really recommend this Anti Vibration mat. The quality is very good and although it's relatively expensive, it does the job well.

TIP: let the mat air before use (strong rubbery smell). This mat diminishes the transfer of vibrations (sounds) to (via) the surface that equipment that vibrates is standing on. It obviously cannot stop something from vibrating internally and certainly cannot fix a washing machine with internal balance problems. That's physically impossible. The mat contains the vibrations, but larger equipment movements may now be bigger as the equipment can no longer slide a little. I have read some of the other comments, obviously. I wonder if this mat could benefit from having a smooth surface on which the vibrating equipment has to be placed. It would allow the equipment to retain some of its flexibility. Consumers often mistakenly think that less flexibility means a smaller chance that something breaks, but you actually need flexibility to accommodate vibrations (small movements). (This is also how earthquake-proof buildings are created.) I bought the mat because I was not sure that anti-vibration feet would be suitable for my purpose. It's possible that feet allow more movement, that their tops are more flexible than the bottom of the feet, but I've never purchased and looked at such feet.

Passt gut unter die Waschmaschine und gleich deutlich ruhiger
