We bought our front loader LG when we were in our house and never noticed
any vibration. There are still no problems with this in our apartment. In
fact, the spin is so quiet that sometimes I have to go and check if it's
finished.
Our spin speed is adjustable - I vary it according to the fragility of the
fabric being washed.
I put quilts, blankets, mattress protectors, electric blankets in the
machine. It thumps a bit if it's a very heavy load that becomes unbalanced
but otherwise copes very well.
Australians love top loaders rather than front loaders. I hated these big
beasts when I first came here but did like being able to put things in the
machine that I'd forgotten. How I just leave it until the next wash - if it
really needs to be washed then I'll wait the couple of minutes for the door
to open on the pause cycle. The only other hassle is that front loaders
take much longer to do an average cycle but ours has a timer button so I can
put stuff on at night to finish first thing in the morning or I put it on in
the afternoon to finish when I get home from work.
I'd heard good stuff about the LG before we bought - it's a very popular
brand here. When mum was out from England at Xmas she said it washed better
than her Hoover. Now that was praise!
