Review:
Excellent washer. The washer is not mounted on concrete, just a wooden floor. Initially, even with the foot adjusters set correctly, it shook significantly, and walked around the floor a little bit. You could feel the floor vibrating when it was in full spin mode.
I read somewhere, where a person sat their washer on a stall mat. These are one inch thick, dense rubber mats that are made to put inside horse stalls. They make life easier on their hooves. The person had a double-wide, and said it cured their vibration problem. I figured it was worth a try, so I went down to Southern States (Tractor Supply, or any other farm store should also have them.) and picked one up. These measure 4'x6' and are HEAVY! It's about all one person can do to wrestle one around. First impression, was that it was about the perfect firmness. Cool!
I took it home and used a utility knife to cut out a 30"x32" section to set the dryer on, managed to get the dryer on top of it, and started a load....
WOW! The mat absorbed pretty much ALL the vibration from the dryer! It didn't walk anymore, and the floor didn't shake anymore! I STRONGLY recommend anybody buying a front loading washer to invest forty bucks and a little bit of time in a stall mat! They are PERFECT for this application!

dont' care what some folks tell you, it shakes...i have mine on the second floor and it shakes the entire house...you couldn't give me another one. Also, the seal does not drain and if you leave the door shut for any lenth of time, it builds up a mildew smell or worse. it's so bad that someone has developed a bleach tablet that you have to send through a cycle to clean out the smell. wouldnt' buy another
