I've had mine for 3 months, now. I have read lots of reviews before actually deciding on this washing machine. If you have an old (10 yrs or older) washing machine. This one is so quiet compared to those. At first I kept going into the laundry room to check to see if it was still working. I was used to hearing the old machine during the whole cycle. It does seem to get my clothes cleaner, and the tub is large enough for a regular king size comforter. We have an oversized king comforter, and it will not fit. I haven't noticed any vibrating, but it sits on a concrete slab, so that is probably why. It does take longer to wash a load of clothes, but you can fit more in. So, in the long run, it doesn't save time on washing clothes. However, I have noticed that our water bill has gone down $10.
