Product review (5 stars): Very pleased, but a little scared
I ordered my washer, after reading a lot of reviews and doing a lot of research, on 04/20.  It was shipped on 04/27 and I received it 4/28.  I was shocked, amazed, and very very happy.  It took a while to hook it up because I am alone and wanted to do it right, step by step.  I was a little scared of trying it out, and messed up a little at first.  The guest that wrote about the leakage from the hose also happened to me, but I tightened the hose to the washer and all was well.  I washed two loads of towels and couldn't be happier.  I need to get used to the process, because this morning I washed a load of towels and forgot to put the drain hose in the sink.  Needless to say, I had a flood in the kitchen, but it was easily fixed.  Actually, it was pretty funny cause I thought it was broke at first and then was relieved to realize I had done something stupid.  I would recommend this machine highly.  It has a big tub and is very quiet.  It's perfect for me.  Living alone and working at home, I don't have a lot of laundry to do weekly.  It's just perfect.  Once I read the manual and figured out how all the programs work and such, it was a breeze.  Now, I'm spoiled and want a dryer.
