Product review (4 stars): A few minor issues but overall really great solution
Set up was not as easy as some might have had- it's quite heavy to be sure.  It also arrived with dings in the outer metal casing and a cracked rim in the washing basket.  The drain hose doesn't stay firmly in place, but it appears to only effect the outer fixture and there isn't any leaking.  The drain hose is also very stiff and frustrating when attempting to position.  All that said, I love this thing.  I've done several load of laundry now- many large loads of clothes from jeans to under items, even sheets and towels.  It does a great job and I am quite impressed with how clean everything gets.  The spin cycle is brilliant and clothes come out much dryer than they do in the standard machines at my laundromat.  That makes hanging to dry much quicker.  With larger loads that include heavier items like towels and jeans, I do find it helpful to pause the cycle and make sure nothing got overly twisted and is able to get saturated.  Because of the strong spin some things have gotten very tightly twisted and not gotten thoroughly soaked.  This is all minor when compared the convenience of carting things off to the laundromat and will be perfect for nearly all my needs.
