We are glad that we purchased this machine a month ago. It's not too noisy, not too heavy, and looks modern. It has an impeller and a lint catcher. We like the fact that you have the option to either connect it to regular hot and cold hook ups or a sink with the included adapter. The water does take a while to drain compared to other washing machine, but not too long. This serves its purpose very well for light washing and saves us a trip to the laundromat.
