Product review (5 stars): wonderful!
(Editing/updating the below review I wrote nine months ago.  Machine still going strong. I use it differently now.  I found it's good enough to start all my louds on the light wash cycle. It cuts down alot on the time.  I add bleach to the whites on the light wash.  And I always add fabric softener to the rinse cycle.  A small percentage of times after the rinse cycle there may be a little water left at the bottom & the clothes down there didn't spin dry so well.  No prob, just restart spin cycle for a couple minutes.  It spin dries the clothes so well sometimes that there's even little dry spots.  Very happy w/little machine!  It is apartment ready & perfect for apartment dwellers!)

Works perfectly. Have had a small percentage of unbalanced loads that stopped during spin cycle...no big deal because who starts a load of wash or dry & just leaves it unattended anyway.  Need to be there when loads are finshed to take out so won't become wrinkled from sitting too long. A little suds & water came out the bottom the first time because I used too much soap. The next loads I only used 1/4 C or 4 tbsp laundry detergent & there was no leaking whatsoever. The machine really moves the clothes around & washes them great. Not only does it pulse thru the clothes but imitates agitator machines by reversing pulse directions swishing the clothes back and forth. #6 Wash only is a good 6.5 minute prewash. #1 Heavy soil which is 19 minutes long consisting of mainly soaking with a few agitations. #2 Normal wash which is a 15 minute agitation/pulsing wash, then the water is drained.  #3 light wash the water is filled up again & washed for 5 minutes. #4 rinse cycle where it is drained & filled up again & pulsed for 3.5 minutes. #5 spin cycle drained & spinned is 5 minutes. #4 & #5 have a safety feature (because it's spinning) the machine will/should stop when lid is lifted. The other cycles you can lift the lid & look inside if want.
I found that if I lightly just drop the clothes in to the top it's the right amount. I add liquid fabric softner to the #4 rinse cycle.  Works like a charm! Only wish would've got it years ago! :) Can also check with your stores & on-line to see if they offer extended warranties.
P.S. Machine does make clicking noises while operating. This is normal (wash & rinse cycles turning off & on)& no big deal. And it does play jingle bells to warn of the ending of the spin & wash only cycles. No big deal, it's usually sufficient to stop spin cycle then anyway.  If not just restart it at the beginning or middle of the cycle & let spin couple more minutes.) As soon as my warranty expires, I'm gonna cut that wire!:)  I kept my internal connector on from the attachable power swivel faucet (you can find by dish soaps in some stores) which made attaching even quicker/easier for me & works great! In regards to the drain pipe...I just lay it over the edge of the sink without hooking on anything.  It hovers a little above the sink bottom.  But the weight of the water brings it down when draining. The way the hose is made, it won't move out of the sink or spray all over.  I've done several loads now & couldn't be more pleased.
