Product review (4 stars): GREAT WASHER/SHORT DRAIN HOSE
This is a great little washer. It manages to do quite a large load for it's size. The washer is fairly quiet and doesn't vibrate (unless the load is unbalanced). The spin cycle is super fast and gets the clothes about 85% dry. It's easy to hook up and use. I've had it for about a month now and use it at least twice a week. I live in an apartment and not having to use the filthy washers here is a good feeling. I would give this washer five stars if it weren't for the fact that it showed up damaged. The box itself was intact which leads me to believe the damage was caused at the manufacturer before it was packaged. The part that was damaged is a flimsy piece of silver aluminum that covers the back side of the washer where you access the motor and internal wirings. I was able to remove it by taking out a few screws and carefully hammering it back into shape. It looks like nothing ever happened to it now. Attached are some pictures of the damage and the washer. Other than that the rest of the washer was in perfect shape and working fine. I did find however that the drain hose that comes with this washer is fairly short. I believe it's only 5 feet long. I saw another reviewer on here that mentioned a 10 foot hose for a Frigidaire dishwasher that fit this washer perfectly. So I bought it and sure enough it works great. The 10 foot hose part number is Frigidaire 154225602 Drain Hose.
