I've a Samsung washing machine, and it usually spends about 15 minutes dicking about, spinning slowly in random directions, before actually starting to wash clothes. If it can't balance the clothes, it complains loudly. I've rarely ever heard it knocking while spinning dry. Granted, it seems European machines are smaller and faster compared to US so maybe they spend a little more effort here, becase they would explode if misbalanced and spinning at 1400 rpm.
