This amount of vibration on new Bosch 6 washing machine

[bc463927]

Had this posh series 6 washing machine installed a week ago. It is on a concrete floor. I’m surprised about the amount of vibration on the spin cycle (previous experience was with a Miele W1, which barely moved). I was looking to get views before getting someone to look at it

That looks okay but, it’s not a Miele.

Thank you! I must have been spoilt!

miele’s are a lot heavier. never been able to deliver Miele machines on my own

you have only got to drive a heavier car down a bumpy street and then drive a lighter one to realise the reason why the Bosch moves more

After a few more uses we have found our washing machine is walking! About 15cm. It was level with this tumble dryer:

you can get the odd load that does ont balance correctly but it should not do it every time

is the floor springy there or is it concrete

It’s concrete (not perfectly smooth, mind)

[electrofix]

does not matter how smooth as long as the legs are adjusted

the main thing is its concrete as wooden floors can add a spring to the problem

Is it possible that the feet are the issue as in, they’re slipping on the smooth surface? The Miele ones could have been a different material that gripped better.
