I barely hear the thing running except when it draws water. When standing
near the machine, I notice no vibration at all.

what type of floor is it on?

Cement. When I mentioned vibration, I was referring to what the machine
itself feels like. My old machine was so badly balanced that it walked
across the floor during the wash cycle occasionally, and it had nothing to
do with how the thing was loaded with clothes.
