Not Your Grandparent’s Washer Pads

Monday, January 24th, 2011

The technology of washing machines is advancing at a lightning pace.  Just a few years ago a

Stack of 4 Ant-Walk Silent Feet washer pads

The competition's cheap Chinese neoprene washer pads just don't stack up against the amazing results of Silent Feet washer pads.

washing machine was no more than a big metal box with a metal laundry tub and a timer on it (there may have been a few other electronic bits too).  Overall, all the washer did was fill itself with water, spin a bit, drain, rinse and spin dry.  It had little to no care in the world for what you were trying to wash, how balanced your load was or for how you managed to get a spaghetti stain on your sock.  These days your washing machine likely has more computer processing power than the Apollo lunar lander did.  Washers have digital displays that make George Lucas’s original Star Wars series look a bit ancient and you washer now knows exactly how heavy, balanced and dirty your clothes are at all times.  Kenmore has even introduced a new feature called Kenmore Connect where their washers can communicate their exact mechanical problems with technicians using your cell phone.

Samsung washers now include their outstanding Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT) where a series of large ball bearings spin counter to the off-balanced load of clothing to reduce vibration.  LG  TrueBalance anti-vibration system takes advantage of direct drive motors and counter balance weights to make their washers suitable for installation anywhere including on the second floor.  GE washers use ultra complex suspension systems that rival the suspension in modern luxury cars.

Despite the rapid advances in washing machine technology, most washer pads have not kept pace.  Just walk into any Lowe’s, Home Depot, Sears or Best Buy and you will find average, hard, neoprene rubber washer pads.  These simple pads are really glorified paper weights.  If you put them under your washing machine chances are that all you will gain is an inch of height on the washer.  Compare any washer pad to Silent Feet anti-vibration pads and the difference is clear.  Instead of cheap Chinese neoprene, Silent Feet use ultra high tech Sorbothane urethane.  Sorbothane’s unique carbon urethane properties actually convert vibration energy into heat effectively absorbing it before it can become annoying noise and vibration.  Anti-Walk Silent Feet washer pads use the same Sorbothane rubber but also lock your washer and dryer in place preventing walking and unwanted movement.  Don’t settle for cheap off the shelf washer pads, buy high quality, American made, Silent Feet washer pads to compliment your high tech front-loading washing machine.

The Next Generation of Anti-Vibration Pads for Washing Machines are Coming

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

For years Silent Feet and Anti-Walk Silent Feet have dominated the appliance anti-vibration pad market. No other company has been able to match their level of effectiveness. But that didn’t mean that our engineers got a break. Nope, they have been hard at work for the past two years developing the next generation of anti-vibration pads. In just a few days, these new pads will be officially released to the world.

The next generation of washing machine ant-vibration pads will feature a dual rubber construction for two layers of isolation. This a change from our current model which features only one layer of isolation. We have been able to make this significant improvement by using a stiff but still flexible rubber top layer on all Silent Feet. This new top layer does double duty. While being flexible enough to absorb vibration, it also conforms to the shape and weight of your appliance to help lock it in place. This makes installation even easier and protects against appliance walking.

Check back soon for more updates and the official release of the next generation of Silent Feet Anti-Vibration pads.

Silent Feet Are the Best Washing Machine Accessories on Market

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Ever think you need a leash for your washing machine? Appliances can shake so much that they literally walk across the room. Sometimes it seems like you have to muscle rough it back into the corner every time you washed a load.

You can try your own solutions out for size. Pillows, rags, foam pads usually get ripped to shreds pretty quick, however. Plus, they soak up moisture and start to smell. These solutions usually warrant plenty of dirty looks from a spouse who is ready for you to clean up the mess and find a real solution.

If you’ve ever tried several washing machine accessories at the hardware store, you’ll find them cheap, but for a good reason. Made out of cheap plastic, these rinky dink noise softening devices will also shred quickly. Not only didn’t they muffle the noise, they’ll be ruined in a few weeks.

Try Silent Feet, one of the best washing machine accessories on the market. They feature special sticky feet designed to keep the machine from moving. The brand even features anti-walk feet for machines that walked and shifted a lot.

The feet can be assembled within a few easy steps. You don’t need any tools, and the job can be done in minutes. It will probably be the easiest repair job you ever did. You’ll have the rest of the afternoon to yourself.

Plus, the feet absorb so much of the shaking of the machine that it will run smoothly and peacefully. You won’t even be able to tell anyone is doing laundry. Do laundry at all hours of the night. Relax and enjoy peace and quiet even when a full load is going.

You’ll be happy when you can do laundry without rocking the whole house, and be glad when the machine stays in place. You won’t have to spend the day after wash day lugging that heavy machine back against the wall. It will stay in one spot, never budging an inch from the wall.

It was one of the cheapest washing machine repairs you can do in minutes. The results are rewarding, relaxing and built to last. Silent Feet are guaranteed for life. You can’t vouch the same for the washer and dryer.
