Can't you just level it with 'legs' underneath the machine?

I imagine it would help vibration a lot though.

We used to live in a very old house with uneven floors and the washing machine would walk across the kitchen every time we used it. Once it shook itself halfway across the kitchen then stopped and spat the glass door onto the floor like Evil Edna from Willo’ the Wisp. The new one lives in the garage and isn’t half so entertaining.

How do you get the washing machine on top of it?

@tothelefttotheleft
it was a new delivery so it was in place ,it would be difficult in an existing machine, as they are exceptionally heavy

Do they make it very difficult to move the machine in and out? Or does it just slide across the floor when you need to pull the machine out?

@EggBlanket again I don’t know but yes probably as I think the machine will ‘sink’ into it but I’ve never had to pull a machine out personally
