Product review (4 stars): This Machine is Ideal if you live in an apartment with no washer/dryer set up
I like this washer a lot. Was very surprised with how much laundry can fit in one load. It is the ideal washer for someone living in an apartment with no washer hookup. I read several reviews before making this purchase and was a bit unclear of how to set this up. Also, the instructions are not as helpful. I am not a mechanical person at all, but figured out how to set this up after several attempts so I thought I would share a few points for ease of use. I got a 2 prong hose connector (melnor 2.76 inch metal Y connector is the proper name) from Home Depot and connected both hot and cold. This is important. If you select cold as your wash option, you need the hot line as well during the wash cycle. Someone mentioned in one of the reviews to purchase a Y connector from Amazon, I ordered the one recommended but it did not fit which led me to purchase one from home depot. It is a quick set up - just a screw in of both the hot and cold lines. The washer is very quiet so if you live in an apartment and you're worried about the noise as I was you should be ok, its not loud at all. Hope this helps.
