The Latest Generation of Anti-Vibration Pads Has Arrived for Washing Machines

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010
Stack of 4 Ant-Walk Silent Feet washer pads

The compeition just doesn't stack up against the amazing results of Silent Feet pads.

3 years ago the first generation of Silent Feet were sent to the test labs.  Just a few months after that they made history as the number one anti-vibration pads for washing machines and dryers.  Today, we are proud to bring you the next generation of Silent Feet pads.  To engineer and build this latest appliance accessory we had to take our design back to the drawing board and totally re-created it.  We started with the same superior Sorbothane rubber as the primary vibration isolating material, but this time added a second top layer of stiff rubber.  This second layer of rubber provides a second wall of vibration resistance to the pads.  Then we added unique ridges to the top of each pad to help lock your washing machine in place.  After installation, the rubber ridges deform slightly allowing for a custom fit on every installation.  Finally we polished our molds and finished them with the highest grade of Teflon coatings to give every one of our products a clean, brilliant shine to accent the high gloss finish on modern washing machines.

Never before has there been an anti-vibration pad that offers all of these benefits and looks this stunning.  In fact, these new Silent Feet make all other washing machine pads look like, big ugly blocks of rubber.  Just like before, our Original Silent Feet offer easy installation and can be installed in most applications in less than 5 minutes.  Also like before, our Anti-Walk Silent Feet offer the best solution to eliminating unwanted appliance movement and “walking” without using any glue or adhesive.  All of this has been provided at the same great price as before.  And just like before, all of our washing machine pads carry a 10 Year Limited Warranty against defects and material failure.

Silent Feet anti-vibration appliance pads

The 2nd generation of Silent Feet pads makes our product line-up even better than before.

Still not convinced that we’ve outdone ourselves?  Then give our products the greatest test of all.  Install them in your home and if you’re not completely satisfied that they have solved your washing machine vibration and noise problem, simply return them.  We’re so convinced that you will love them that we still offer our 100% satisfaction guarantee.  Take this opportunity to try them out today.  You’ll see and hear the difference one the first load of laundry and on every load after that for years and years.

The Complete Guide to Clothes Dryer Noise 2010

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

While it is well known that many washing machines are noisy and vibrate, not many products have been designed to help quiet your washer’s long term companion, the clothes dryer.  The modern tumble dryer handles larger loads and drys faster than previous versions thanks to numerous improvements in drying technologies.  However, little has been done to reduce the overall noise caused by the dryer.  An off balance or large load of clothes in the dryer can cause some seriously annoying levels of noise and thumping sounds.  Just like your washing machine, a dryer rests on stiff metal and plastic adjustable feet transmit this noise directly to the floor and then throughout your home.  But you don’t have to listen to all that racket any longer, because the same Silent Feet Anti-Vibration pads that work on your washer can also be installed on your dryer.

In addition to silencing the noise transfer to your home, Silent Feet will raise the height of your dryer making it easier to load and unload.  If you’ve installed Silent Feet under your washing machine, it’s best to get a second set for you dryer to keep them both at the same height.  Silent Feet and Anti-Walk Silent Feet will also help stop prevent walking and unwanted movement on dryers.  The following gas and electric dryers have been shown in laboratory tests to have high levels of noise and would benefit from the installation of a anti-vibration isolation pad like Silent Feet.

Washing Machine Accessories Help Maintain Appliance Efficiency

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Purchasing a washer and dryer, or any major appliance, is a large expense and an important investment.

You certainly want to make sure that you purchase the small accessories that will make your major appliance run more smoothly, thereby increasing its life span.
Washing machine accessories are an example of a necessary purchase in order to keep your washing machine running tame, quiet and efficiently.

Washing machines are notorious for shaking, buzzing and being annoying overall. Washing machine accessories, like Silent Feet, serve to drastically reduce noise and vibration by sliding underneath the four corner of the machine.

With special material and technology that nearly absorbs all vibration and reduces buzzing sounds to an all-time love, washing machine accessories, like Silent Feet, are the ultimate add-on for washing machine purchases.

Dryers are also famous for doing the ‘dryer dance’, in which it slowly inches forwards throughout the cycle. Stop your appliances dead in their tracks with Silent Feet and similar vibration eliminating appliance pads.
The added features can also add elegance and color scheme stress if you decide to purchase feet in one of the many new colors.

The same feet that you can purchase to eliminate the noise from you washer and dryer machines, you can also use to add efficiency and create silence to your refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher.
Once you experience the silence that major appliance accessories can offer, it will be hard to believe that you withstood the noise in the years prior.

Adding appliance accessories will allow your machine to run more efficiently and, therefore, maintain a longer life span. The more the machine vibrates, the more chances there are of screws and pins coming loose and, then, the problem tends to grow from there.

When you invest a lot of your money into major appliances and other household products, it is important to do everything you can to maintain the upkeep of the appliance, get your money’s worth and avoiding costly repairs or replacements in the future.

Let Washer and Dryer Accessories Handle the Awful Noise

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

A noisy washer and dryer is among one of the worst noises to live with, especially if you are living in a smaller apartment.
If your walls are thinner than average, then your neighbors most likely have had enough with the horrible vibrations and noise, too.

The washer and dryer accessories that are available today are the perfect solutions to noisy washer and dryers that have become unbearable to you and/or your neighbors.
Silent Feet are the best example of washer and dryer accessories that nearly eliminate all vibrations and annoying sounds.

The feet are easily installable, just sliding each foot to the four corners of the machines. Once installed, the feet absorb the vibration and, therefore, significantly reduce noise.

The feet also make it much easier to move your washer and dryers about the room with minimal effort. Don’t be afraid to clean behind your washer and dryer machines any more. Just slide the machine out and clean and then gently slide your machine back in.

The feet also serve as an aesthetically pleasing feature to help break up the appearance of the room. Washer and dryer are so large and bulky, that they often look like they are cemented to the floor and can be quite the eye soars.

After you prop your washer and dryer on the Silent Feet, you will be separating your machines from the floor by a full inch, making look like a feature of the room, rather than unattractive appliances.

Now that the washer and dryer accessories have become in a variety of fun colors, your Silent Feet will also add a splash of color to a commonly bland laundry room. Or, if your laundry room walls are already painted a color, matching the color to the feet is a wonderful way to carry out color schemes and themes.

You will be amazed when you discover how quiet your washer and dryer machines can actually be. Once you experience the silence that is possible, you will wonder how you ever handled the annoying vibrating and humming sounds from before.
And your neighbors will be the most appreciative of all.

Solving Problems with a Washing Machine Pad

Monday, January 4th, 2010

No one likes to do laundry. It’s a household chore that some people dread more than doing the dishes or cleaning the bathroom, but nonetheless, it’s an unavoidable task that everyone has to do at some point in their lives.

If extra noise caused by rattling parts within the machine comes along with this task, however, it becomes more than a mere annoyance and turns into a dreaded event. The good news is that a loud washing machine doesn’t have to be an ongoing problem in a home because there is a very simple and affordable solution: the washing machine pad.

A washing machine pad can absorb a lot of the noise that is caused by rattling parts. As a washing machine starts to age, parts tend to become loose simply as a result of use over an extended period of time. This doesn’t necessarily mean that your washing machine is about to break; it is just a natural byproduct of repeated cycles of laundry day in and day out.

The purchase of washing machine accessories such as a pad for the bottom of the appliance can prevent some of this noise from affecting the daily routine of those in close proximity to the laundry room.

Buying an accessory like a pad can also extend the life of a washing machine. Just because a machine is loud doesn’t mean it’s working properly; a washing machine could be so noisy that it’s barely possible to hear a sitcom over the noise at high volume, but it could still deliver a clean load of laundry once it stops its cycle.

Most people still would be tempted to get rid of a noisy machine in favor of a new one of it disrupts life and makes a home unpleasant, even though it’s quite expensive to do so. Adding a pad to the bottom of a washing machine can allow someone to postpone the purchase of a new appliance but still get some peace of mind.

The best part about adding a washing machine pad to an appliance is that it’s very easy to do. The only preparation necessary is to make sure the bottom of the machine is free from any debris or dust that might have collected underneath it.

Then, the feet of the device need to be lifted so the pad can be slipped underneath. Once that step is complete, the washing machine can return to its original position, and the noise will immediately be almost eliminated immediately. The next load of laundry that goes through the machine will make much less noise, and the household can resume a sense of normalcy and comfort.

Get Peace of Mind with Washing Machine Accessories

Friday, January 1st, 2010

No one likes to be disturbed when they’re at home. Home is a place people associate with peace of mind and solace; they don’t want to be distracted by a clanging or rattling sound coming from the laundry room.

Unfortunately, not all people are able to enjoy their time at home while they’re doing the simple chore of washing their clothes due to excess vibration coming from their machine. Washing machine accessories are a simple solution to this problem. They are extremely easy to install, and can eliminate the noise coming from a washing machine by providing adequate padding that will absorb the sound.

It’s a common misconception that washing machine accessories are difficult to put to use. The opposite is actually the case. After purchasing the accessories, the bottom of a washing machine needs to be thoroughly cleaned so that no debris or dust is present.

Then, the washing machine accessories or pads can be applied to the feet of both the rear and the front of the appliance. After that, it’s easy to slide the washing machine back into place. The results are immediate; the next time laundry is done, the extra noise won’t come along with the process.

Another benefit to the purchase of accessories is that they can prevent a washing machine from “walking” across a room. This means that the machine will no longer shift when it’s’ being used. Some people might not be troubled by these slight changes in position, but since they are typically accompanied with a lot of loud shaking, it can definitely become a problem.

One of the reasons washing machine accessories are so attractive to some consumers is that they can extend the life of a washing machine. Sometimes, when components of the appliance get old, they start to make noise. This doesn’t necessarily affect the ability of the appliance to do its job, however.

It is tempting to buy an entirely new machine when the noise becomes almost unbearable, but it’s also quite expensive to do so. If accessories are bought as an alternative, then the appliance can be used for many years to come. Or, the accessories can be a temporary solution while someone waits for a special deal or financing offer that is within their financial means.

Masques, Scrubs, and… Washing Machine Pads?

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

When you think about washer and dryer accessories, you typically think of them as items for your home. At least, I do. Where else would you need such things? Certainly not at my job or anywhere else I go-or so I thought! A-ha!

Washing machine pad has recently became not just a home luxury but a necessary item for a local business (and probably other businesses in that industry), but let me start at the beginning:

Occasional trip to the day spa can be the perfect break from any otherwise hectic daily life. Where else can you completely sink into the atmosphere, free from any real obligations, and choose exactly what you would like to have done/do that day?

A friend of mine owns a local day spa and, above all things, it’s her goal to create an environment that does just that. They’re flexible to their clients’ needs, and strive to keep any little issues and glitches out of the public eye and out of the calmed minds of their guests.

And, I must say, she and her team do a fantastic job at it. I continue to recommend her spa to friends and coworkers and go there myself. There’s a lot, however, that you might not know about as a guest at a spa, but given my special access have come to learn. I had never considered, for example, how much water the business goes through, or how much yearly maintenance goes into some of their features.

On top of all that, I never thought about how much laundry has to get done each day to keep the spa moving (you see where I was going with the whole washing machine pads thing…).

Think about every towel and sheet and robe that goes through that spa. Yes, she could probably outsource her laundry service, but they’re still a small business and at this point, it’s probably better that they all team up and tackle it themselves.

The problem, however, arose when their normally docile washer and dryer started to make a ruckus. Short of moving the entire unit off-site or to an unfinished basement, the washer and dryer always seemed to be audible from one of the massage rooms, from your pedicure chair, and so on-taking away from the serenity my friend tries so hard to create.

When I heard about the problem (and heard it for myself), I took it into my own hands to order her a set of the silent feet I recently purchased for my home. These washing machine pads can absorb the movement and sound that was waking up and distracting her guests-and earned me the team’s gratitude and a free manicure!

An Unlikely Gift: Washing Machine Accessories

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Is it better to give a gift that is aesthetically pleasing, something out of a magazine “gift guide,” or something truly useful, something you know the recipient needs? I’m not always sure, and I guess it depends on how well you know the recipient, but I know for sure which category washing machine accessories fall into… the latter.

It all started when I dropped by my sister’s house the other day to visit with her, give her a gift I’d been meaning to drop off, and finally see her new bedroom set. I arrived, took off my coat, and turned around to see her darting to the back of the house, hollering-”I’ll be right back, just a minute!”

She’s my younger sister, and despite being consistently more put-together and mature than I, still wants things to be perfect when I’m over. What had drawn her to the back of the house? Her washer and dryer were making too much noise, and that was not acceptable.

The house was a little older, rough around the edges, but with a lot of character. It was exactly where I saw her, but the little hiccups with dated appliances seemed to be wearing on her nerves. This latest venture with the washer and dryer was especially annoying, causing her to constantly shut off the machine, leaving wet laundry to sit and damp clothes to wrinkle.

She ended up restarting the whole cycle on most occasions, and was probably spending a fortune on detergent. But-what can I say?-that’s her. More importantly, it was affecting her work schedule; she’s a writer, so not being able to work from home between certain hours can be more than a small annoyance.

Being the older sister that I am, I set to finding a solution to her problem-I read blogs, talked to someone at a home appliance store, even briefly considered chipping in for a new machine altogether.

And then I came across a line of washing machine accessories that promised to reduce the noise and vibrations of your aging washing machine. I was skeptical, but eager to help her out-and so we gave them a try.

Victory!
I’m proud to say she now runs her wash just one time, can work through the day with fewer interruptions (at least none from her appliances), and when I stop by to visit her, we can sit and chat over a cup of coffee, regardless of whether she’s doing laundry.

Washer & Dryer, Accessories, and Other Lessons from a New Owner

Friday, December 11th, 2009

As someone accustomed to what seemed like years at the Laundromat, finally having a washer and dryer to call my own (quarter-free!) was a big day. I thought that was the end-all, be-all when it came to my clothes-washing regimen, until a friend mentioned washer and dryer accessories. “You mean there’s more?!” the little voice in my head said (though I outwardly pretended to know what she was talking about).

And, as it turns out, there are several washer and dryer accessories that will hopefully extend the life of my machines and make them just that much more functional in the time being. I quickly stocked up on products meant to cleanse/refresh your machines, found the perfect high efficiency detergents, and every other bit for my washer and dryer.

Accessories that really made a difference in my place, though, were the washing machine pads my friend recommended. When I first saw them I assumed they would merely prop the machine up a little, but do little for the noise level and vibration.

Once I tried them, however, I was sold. They seemed like such a simple, almost obvious solution to the sometimes obnoxious but completely avoidable rattling, booming, and shaking that filled my small apartment!

When you live in smaller quarters than you might be used to, silence becomes just as valuable as space. I can holler at my noisy neighbors all I want, but when the noise is coming from my own unit, I’ve got to find a solution myself.

Well, I usually have to. But not for my washer and dryer, anymore! These tiny, sturdy little slippers that go on the machine make it so I don’t even know when the machine is on. I even had to learn how to set up a buzzer for when the cycle ended!

I was so used to waiting to hear noise die down that once I added the feet, the cycle could end and I was none the wiser. At the end of the day, though, I was glad to turn on the buzzer option for my machine-if it meant that I could read my favorite magazine or chat on the phone in almost silence, or as close as I’m going to get in my building.

Now all I need to figure out is how to get similar products for all of my neighbors’ machines… and their feet.
