Phae, my front loader, which sits just 7' from this very desk, does not
vibrate much at all. In fact, I often forget that I am washing clothes
until the buzzer sounds to let me know that the cycle is completed. Mine
is a Frigidaire Gallery, if you will recall, and my mother just bought
the newest version of it a few months ago. It is really a superb
machine, and one of the less costly ones, as well. And I wash comforters
in it all the time with no problem.
