I ordered this machine based on reviews and suggestions. I purchased this to get us through a renovation of our kitchen (laundry is in the kitchen). The machine was delayed one day, which was disappointing. The packaging was not adequate and had several holes in it (delivered by USPS) and the bottom was just Styrofoam. There was no damage to the machine, such as dents or scratches. Instructions were not clearly written, so I just had to figure out for myself and the instruction sheet kept referring to a manual but none was with the machine.
What I liked is that I was very light weight and my daughter and I could move it around. We decided to put it in the bathroom for "just in case" situations. Overall it was a good machine but there are some issues the manufacturer needs to correct. The coupling for the water intake does not fit any faucets I had, so I used the bucket method to fill the washer. Second the hoses are very flimsy and will not last long. Because it pulses and doesn't have an agitator clothes will get tangled. That is an issue when moving them to the spinner. The spinner will also cause the washer to "walk" so during this cycle, I had to make sure it didn't move around. It would help if it were on locking casters so it can be moved easily.
I did 4 loads of laundry and everything came out clean. When it came time to drain the water from the tub, I had to tilt the machine to drain all the water out otherwise there would be water still in the tub because the drain is level with the tub. I used just minimal detergent and water and I rinsed twice using fabric softener in the last rinse. The spinner did very well in removing the excess water from the clothes. I made sure that I had a bucket under drainage hose to collect the water.
The machine did the job but I would probably upgrade to an all-in-one machine next time. Until then, I'll use this when needed and let my brother use it in his camper.
