Washer says it is quiet but very disappointed in how noisy this washer is.  The intake valves are very noisy as they open and close when filling the machine. Also when in the spin cycle the machine vibrates heavily.  Manual states it may vibrate a quarter inch.  This machine looks like it vibrates more than that.  The washer is level. We replaced a Whirlpool   front load machine with this GE. Makes me think we should have stuck with Whirlpool.
