Stabilise your washing machine or dryer for good

Tired of the noise your washing machine or dryer makes as it spins? Steady Spin – which is finally back in stock – could be the solution you’re looking for.

Steady Spin is a washing machine stabiliser that works from the top of the machine, not the bottom.

Forget old-fashioned mats and rubber feet, simply slip the vinyl bladder between the washer and the counter top, then inflate with the handy manual pump, which can be hidden away so you can’t see it.

Inflating up to six inches to fill the gap, the snug fit will help prevent the very loud moving noise that so many machines make – acting as if someone was sitting on your machine, holding it down 24/7.

Better still, no lifting or moving your machine is involved, saving your machine, floors, and neighbours.

Find out more on Steady Spin’s website or buy on Amazon.
