Only have the Miele washer, dryer is separate and vents to the outside
but does not get much use as prefer to line dry most laundry.
Miele washers are very stable and cannot remember the last time mine
went off balance causing shaking. A well designed/built front loading
washing machine will send the energy generated from spinning down
through the machine, to the flooring to be dissipated through the
structure. When standing in another area of the laundry nook can "feel"
the vibrations coming through the floor from the washer. This is usually
when laundering loads at or near the max of 11lbs. The machine itself is
quite stable, with no wobbling or noise mind, but still one can feel
those vibrations.
