I hooked up the Silk Lux last night, it is working beautifully. I’m very happy to have something while I’m waiting for a part to repair my big washing machine. We are a family of 5, so running to the laundry mat is expensive. The Silk Lux holds more clothes than I expected (one load included 4 pairs athletic shorts, 2 t-shirts, yoga pants, 2 baseball hats, and lots of underwear and socks). Plus it is quieter than my big machine. I found it easy to connect. Be sure to read the manual. Fortunately, this machine arrived 4 days earlier than the original estimate. In addition, the machine is packaged well to protect it in transit.
