Product review (5 stars): I LOVE this little washer...
I have only had this little gem for less than twenty four hours, and I am already quite impressed with it.  After reading so many negative comments on this washer (though the positives far outweigh them), I thought I ought to address some of them.  For those who wrote that the connectors are garbage, I had no issues with mine.  I unscrewed my kitchen faucet's aerator, and screwed in the one enclosed with my washer, and...voila!  It was a perfect fit.  My only issue was the excess water coming out of the faucet side.  I solved this with wrapping a Handi-Wipe around the connection.  I later tightened the connections, manually. No more leakage. At first I connected the hose backwards, resulting in a drip of water going into the machine.  I unscrewed both ends (after turning off the tap), and tried it once again, and...voila! A current of water began to fill the machine.  Before turning anything on (water or power), I made sure the round connector in the back of the machine was turned totally clockwise.  The instruction manual is not written in perfect English, but it is very much understandable.  I read it from cover to cover, as I usually do with new appliances.  I did a trial wash with this little machine, and I put in:  two pairs of jeans, two t-shirts, and 6 different pairs of socks.  I used the NORMAL setting, and the LARGE load setting.  I used liquid detergent, about 1/2 (or a little less) of what is recommended for a small load. The washer indicated 31 minutes of total wash time.  I was impressed with the quietness of its operation during wash cycle.  You must place the outlet hose approx. 3 feet above the washer.  My kitchen sink was just the right height.  The spin cycle was a bit louder, as would be expected, but still not very loud.  One of this washer's front "wheels", the one on MY right hand side, is adjustable.  It is recommended you be certain the washer is level before you attempt to wash.  I stood beside the washer during spin cycle and held it down somewhat (it was after 12 midnight, I hate to admit), and later just angled it differently on my kitchen floor, but either way, it was pretty quiet, all things considered.  My jeans and t-shirts were well washed, and mostly dry.  My socks, which were white, turned bluish (my fault, of course), but were also very much spun dried.  This little washer is amazing, and most especially for its price.  The back "wheels" worked for me.  All you have to do is angle the machine, tilt it backwards, and it glides easily back into your storage spot for it.  I LOVE this washer.  I know it's only been a few hours, but I cannot contain my joy in knowing I will have clean, well washed clothes in my own home.  No more laundromats and all the issues involved with them!  Highly recommend. P.S.  Made mostly of plastic, handle with care, and avoid HIGH water temps.
