I was excited to see that this new version had more space for laundry. Unfortunately, it didn't matter because it did not work as intended from the beginning. The metal locking bar was IMPOSSIBLE to remove. The zip ties were on so tightly that you need a wire cutter to remove them. Once it came off, the entire motor shakes when it is in use, and water floods out the bottom of the machine. No matter how carefully you use the drainage spouts, water still leaks from the bottom near the motor. After 3 weeks mine completely stopped working. My guess is that it shorted out from the electrical wires being flooded with water.

I'm waiting for a replacement, and I hope my original purchase was just defective.
