Product review (5 stars): When draining the hose is at the bottom so it empties by gravity the hose can adapt to either side.
I absolutely love this little machine.  I wait for several months to post my review. I can honestly say it works better than my large washer it's easy on water and electricity.  It's also my opinion it gets my clothes cleaner than my large washer.  If for some reason it stopped working I would buy another one to replace it.  Takes up little room in my kitchen so linens are always clean and ready to go.
