Product review (4 stars): Good for Apartments
Agreed - replace the plastic hose from hardware store! Machine is quiet and ideal for people who live in an apartment with people beside or below them. Washer fits about 3/4 the amount of clothing a normal washer would. Clothes are really clean. The programmable settings are easy to use, Ditch the laundramat and quarters. We have had this since June 2012 (over a year) and have been really happy with it.
