Advice request for a quieter, more stable washer dryer on suspended wooden floors

The problem

The user wanted consumer advice on replacing a washer dryer because the current machine causes severe vibration through suspended wooden floors during spin, despite trying a piece of old worktop underneath and vibration absorber pads. They were looking for a quiet 9kg washer dryer with better vibration control.

Likely cause

The strongest explanation given was floor movement from the suspended wooden floor rather than a specific fault with one machine. The accepted reply said any manufacturer would likely advise against installation on a suspended floor, and that a machine change may not fully remove the issue if the floor has significant movement.

What fixed it

The accepted advice was that Miele machines are generally regarded as very quiet, solid and stable in spin, but the same reply also stated that Miele do not recommend installation on suspended floors. The suggestion was that placing the appliance nearer a floor edge or corner may reduce movement, but no confirmed repair or purchase outcome was provided.

Checks to try

• Existing attempts included placing the machine on a piece of old worktop
• Existing attempts included vibration absorber pads
• Consideration of floor position, with edge or corner suggested as likely to move least
