The power of the agitator is mind boggling, the size of the machine itself was larger than expected, as were the wash and spin tubs.

I tried using the water hose provided to fill the wash tub and, due to its small diameter, found it painfully slow so I used a bucket. I had no difficulties at all attaching the hose to my kitchen faucet.

I didn't see mention in the comments regarding the silver ring with two small hooks, so I wasn't expecting it. The ring is a little bigger than a quarter and, for those of you not familiar with its purpose, here it is:

If you pinch the two hooks (they look more like ears) together, its a spring, the ring gets larger. Slide the hose into it and let go of the ears. Then pinch the ears again, slide the hose over the inlet then let go of the ears, it secures the hose.

The machine is not very heavy and was easy to move. (No wheels though. Unless I'm missing something.)

Overall: THRILLED!
