How much is a washing machine supposed to shake?

The spin speed of an average washing machine is between 600 – 1400RPM. If the washing machine is not balanced, it may shake violently during the spin cycle, causing water to spill on the floor. Redistributing the load will usually solve this issue if the cause is due to too many clothes on one side of the unit.
