This is a great little washer. Helps to keep me on top of daily laundry. It is very quiet. I had it installed in a permanent location in my apartment. The hose hooked up to the cold water faucet that is also meant for a full capacity washer without having to use adapter. No leakage problems and doing laundry is a breeze in my own apartment. Just have to keep the loads no more than 3/4's full. No tennis shoes or blankets, quilts Other than that works great and efficiently at about 31 minutes from start to finish. This is Black & Decker product and I trust the brand completely.
