Product review (4 stars): I'm glad I bought this washer
I've had this machine for a few days now. I've never seen a product so well packaged, there was an outer box, another box and then yet another box, all sturdy brown boxes.

I advise you to put the machine on a cotton bath mat so it doesn't creep around when washing.

Knobs are easy to turn although other people have complained that they are super hard to turn.

It's quite heavy once you put water (which you can only do in the bathtub) in it so I am going to see if I can figure out a faucet and hose way of filling it. I understand there is a hose adapter at the hardware store and if you unscrew the end of the faucet you can get the correct size adapter.

It's not hard too hard to pick it up to pour out the soapy water into the sink.

I have ordered a spin dryer.

I understand that in order to kill norovirus you have to dry clothes in a dryer at high temp and that hang drying is not a good idea. Or, use bleach when washing which is ok for whites, but not for colored clothes so I am trying to find a disinfectant for colored clothes or some sort of portable dryer that is allowed in apartments. I would appreciate any suggestions.
