I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. It washes better than the full size front loader I was using. Perfect for me as a single in a small apartment. The top of the box lifts off for easy unboxing. Easy to move around and install. Quiet, no vibration and really cleansspins well. In reading reviews before purchasing I was concerned about connections but no problem for me. I did have to remove the large washer where it connects to the fawcet to get threads where I need them. Well built, sturdy and not flimsy or too heavy. Perfect for me. Love it!
