I just got the washer yesterday.  I looked up a video on you tube on how to hook everything up.  Took 2 minutes.  I did two loads, got the clothes clean.  I'm glad I ordered a 1.7cu. ft. and not anything larger.  This size is just right for me & my son.  I'm over the moon with it.  Best part of it is, I can catch the drain water and put it into empty jugs and use the water on my garden...only if it's natural soap.  Thanks !!!
