It seems to clean well enough. My wife says now that it has been
shaking like this for a long time. Guess I just wasn't paying any
attention to the noise before. I hate to sink money into the old
machine. Maybe we'll just keep using it as is and replace it when it
doesn't work well anymore. Since it is only the two of us (kids are
grown), it's used only once or twice a week anyway.
