Product review (2 stars): alright for two and a half months, not good for long term solution
At first this washing machine was the answer to my prayers! I was hand washing laundry at my apartment since I couldn't afford to go to the laundry mat and my hands would end up blistered from the whole process. I quickly found out that during the spin cycle, the bin doesn't stay attached  and would come loose and fly around the compartment.  The spin cycle is very noisy even for the few seconds that it stays apart. I found that if I press down on the machine to hold it still, the bin stays attached longer and it is a little quieter, but still loud (I can only do 2 minute intervals). I can only do one wash and one spin dry, and then I need to have the machine rest for an hour or longer because it starts to smells and sounds like the motor is being overworked. After two and a half months of using it 2-3 times a week, I cannot use it anymore since the machine has begun to leak onto the floor whenever there is water in the washing compartment. Since the beginning, you need to keep the draining hose attached to the machine (during the cycle and while filling up the compartment), if it falls on the floor all of the water will come out.
