Product review (4 stars): Remove the little panel first and it works like a charm as long as it is very close to the drain and a socket
This spinner is small and works beautifully in 1 to 2 minutes and it's quiet. I'd have given it 5 stars but the cord and drainage tube are way too short. We have to keep it very close to a electrical socket that is immediately next to a a drain on a flat surface. I don't know how your house is designed but there is only one place in my entire home that meets that criteria so no one is allowed to use the kitchen counter while laundry is being done. Not a catastrophe but the bathroom would have been my first choice.

If yours arrives with no instructions - as mine did - you must remove the small white panel on the bottom that is held in with 2 Phillips head screws. This panel locks the mechanism for shipping. The machine will not work while the panel is in place.
