I've had the Della Mini washer now for about 2 weeks and it has its pros and cons. The shipping was fast, I would say it took at least 4 days to come to my home. The machine itself is light weight and functions well. The bad news would be that it gives off a very weird odor once water is placed in the machine and while the machine dries out after use, and this happens every time I wash a load. In regards to the pump, the description says that there is a pump in the machine that helps drain the water, but you have to lay the hose completely flat on the floor in order to properly drain. Luckily I have a walk in shower in my apartment. It seems as if the pump isn't powerful enough to pump the water over a tub or even into a sink perhaps, even though the hose is long enough to do so. I've washed about 8 loads and the smell never gets on my garments, it just lingers in the air for awhile. The spinner is amazing, it dries my clothes 90-95%, and I just hang them on my collapsible drying rack for about 3 hours to completely dry.  Overall I will keep using the machine because its a lot better than toting around loads of laundry to the laundry mat.
