Happy with the purchase this machine after extensive searching and reading online reviews on the front load washers.  Very quiet and sturdy and have many great features.  We were worried at the beginning for not purchasing the pedestal as we did with our previous one so decided to go with the anti vibration pads.  However, the deliver guys didn't put in for us as he said it was not enough space and that we didn't really need it.  We then tried to do it ourselves but the machine was too heavy for us to lift up.  Anyway, turned out, it worked fine without the pads as the machine is very quiet.  We don't even hear much even when it's spinning.  It comes with many features so it's easier to pick and choose.
