I did online search and read the reviews they said it’s quiet. Delivered on time and when I received it was already unboxed. The delivery people Temco, said they unboxed it at the parking lot. The first time I used I noticed it is noisy but tolerable. Then months passed the noise became annoying especially I have a studio apartment and the best way to connect the washer is at my kitchen sink. If would be better if I place and connect to the bathroom. The hose connector I like most I can easily snap and unsnap from the faucet. The clothes air dry easily whether I hanged them inside and outside the apartment.
