Hi All,

My new washing machine spins three times faster than
my old unit. Very nice results. But, it does vibrate my

So what brand is it that spins three times as fast? What brand did
you have before?

The faster it spins the dryer the clothes will be afterwards, and the
shorter the drying time. (Although there must be a limit to this. I
can imagine maybe it would cause wrinkles to set in if it spun even
faster than yours.

floor to a much greater extent than the old unit. My house
is ~13 years old (made in USA) and my floor is made of
plywood, ~1" thick.

One inch is plenty, even if it vibrates a lot.

Has anyone ever heard of this greater
vibration damaging the floor?

No.

BTW, I used 3/8th inch plywood for my attic floor. It's not really
enough, especially now that I've gained weight and don't always
remember to step where the joists are. But half inch would be enough,
I'm sure, just for me, but i agree with Ameijers.

I plan on living in this
house for a lot of years!

Many thanks,
