For some reason we are not able to use this machine at a medium spin cycle or faster because it is so extremely loud that its shakes the whole kitchen and has actually broken a glass bowl near it. Even though it is only a few months old at this point, this defect is making it so that we can't use it even on a slower spin cycle. This limits when we can use the machine when the kids are asleep because it would wake them up. I really wanted to like this machine, but this has been terribly inconvenient.
