do the shimmy across the floor? or do you have it anchored down? i really need to anchor mine down. with the heavy loads it can shimmy away from the wall by almost a foot! the funniest part is it shakes the whole trailer.

oh well...at least the laundry is done for a couple days

The ones we use in the laundry room don't move !

My washer is portable, which means it's about 2/3 normal size. It's on wheels, & rolls up to the sink & hooks up to the faucet. And yeah, if it gets unbalanced, it makes a horRENdous noise, & walks around. If I don't get to it in time, something inside shakes loose. Fortunately, I've learned what it is, & can fix it.


In a story not worth explaining, I used to have to wash a 100% cotton throw rug frequently, & had to wash it by itself (cat pee). Because it's cotton, it gets very heavy when wet. I knew it would get unbalanced, & didn't want to leave it alone. So I would eat my breakfast while sitting on top of the washer, to keep it from coming unbalanced. LOL.
