Product review (1 stars): Drain hose rips eventually.
The drain hose is WAY, WAY too flimsy and I'm not sure if it can be replaced or repaired. Otherwise, mine has worked really well for the six months til the hose ripped. I'm always careful to position it correctly and not to kink it, but the plastic is so thin I'm wondering how long it's SUPPOSED to last.  Planned obsolescence???
Update May 30, 2016:  I've downgraded my review to one star after the drain hose developed two more splits that are I can't reach to try to fix.  I bought this machine in October 2015 and the hose ripped in March 2016. I managed to get a jury rigged fix that has held, but now there are more leaks/splits.  This company has a higher priced model of this type of "dryer" which collects the water in a container at the front of the machine and I suspect it's because of the way the drain hose on this one splits. The only thing I use this machine for is to spin the water out of hand knitted clothes, and I don't use it every day, so this machine has probably been used a dozen times since I bought it.  It spins really well and does just what I want, but the drain hose breaking is pathetic.
Update June 3, 2016:  I contacted the seller (Laundry Alternative) and asked how to replace hose under "3 year comprehensive warranty" and the answer was "would you like a replacement?"  I said, yes, and the replacement arrived today.  That's great, but the hose is still flimsy. Buyer beware.
