Machine design is an ongoing issue, getting them to do high spin speeds
without jumping about, pummelling other nearby appliances or dancing
across the floor. This is a common fault mode. Modern machines need to
have off balance load sensors so they dont try to spin up when not
distributed correctly, If they did, the drum housing would break. As
you can guess, heavy vibration is normal.


My Miele could spin at 1600 rpm, and the vibration was barely
perceptible. Of course, it had 150 lbs of concrete in its base...

... and was a Miele, which is not your average machine. Were the clothes
creased much at 1600?
