I bought this machine for a small apartment and it's a good machine that gets the job done. Pros: seems solid, not too heavy, easy to move. Cons: short connections (hoses, electric cord) means you have more limited options as to location. I should add that the the first machine I received was damaged in transit and Wayfair replaced it immediately without hassle. I was very impressed with the speed of the service and the replacement works well. Recommended machine (and distributor). UPDATE: I have now had the machine for a couple of years and it works as well as ever. Excellent investment. NB: I dsocvered that the end of the drainage hose has to be at about the same height as the top water level will be, otherwise gravity will drain it prematurely. I drain into a bathtub so I have to prop it up at a higher level than the tub edge but with that small easy adjustment the machine works really well. Highly recommended.
