The following machine seems to rock itself to &#8220;death&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why the machines are so heavily shaking over there. In Europe, the machines stand safe and sound with no problems at all&#8230; Maybe they should hire european engineers who show them how to build better washing machines. What astounds me more is, that even the big machines are top loaders&#8230; very uncommon to ours which you can (un-)load from the front what appears to be much more comfortable in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Rock-a-bye machine:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1718-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Washing-Machine-Orgasm.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Washing-Machine-Orgasm.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Washing-Machine-Orgasm.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>This is, how solid german washing machines can be:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1718-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Waschmaschine-vs.-Ziegel-Washer-vs.-Stone.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Waschmaschine-vs.-Ziegel-Washer-vs.-Stone.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Waschmaschine-vs.-Ziegel-Washer-vs.-Stone.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Dang&#8230; even concrete blocks cannot break the machines for at least 5 minutes:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1718-3\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Waschmaschine-vs.-Betonstein-_-Washing-Machine-vs.-Brick.mp4?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Waschmaschine-vs.-Betonstein-_-Washing-Machine-vs.-Brick.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Waschmaschine-vs.-Betonstein-_-Washing-Machine-vs.-Brick.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>And this &#8220;good&#8221; Privileg washing machine even survived a near-breakdown of the motor&#8230;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1718-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/H\u00e4rtetest-einer-Waschmaschine.mp4?_=4\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/H\u00e4rtetest-einer-Waschmaschine.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/H\u00e4rtetest-einer-Waschmaschine.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>\nPrivileg is a cheapskate brand from Quelle (a mail-order business, no longer operative)&#8230; but this machine seemed to be a bit more qualitative when thinking about all the stuff it had to swallow&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So how to keep son and mum busy?<br \/>\nSimply use &#8220;stick bombs&#8221;.
