Due to the nature of frontloading washers and dryer's they tend to be a little more aggressive as far as vibrations. Though I have both washer and dryer, I must say they are pretty freaking quiet. Personally other than being extremely heavy 200 pounds for the washing machine I wouldn't seeing if yo personally other than being extremely heavy 200 pounds for the washing machine I wouldn't see an issue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Some front load washers can shake a good bit when spinning. I have had Asko, Kenmore (Frigidaire) and the LG. The LG shakes the LEAST. It does a better job of starting the spin cycle. You may want to Avoid putting them on the pedestals (anywhere, but especially on the 2nd floor). That just messes up the center of gravity and adds to the shaking. Our Frigidaire, on the pedestal, (first floor with crawl space under it) would walk out of the laundry room. Removing the pedestals helped some. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I heard that the LG washers recommend installing downstairs and on concrete. But I heard that second-hand. We have installed this upstairs in our house in a similar configuration to yours. We have had no problems with it so far. My suspicion is that they say that to cover themselves of liability in case something breaks and you end up with water all over the place.
