Product review (1 stars): cheap product
With the unit I received, when I set the water level to high, it would make a terrible grinding noise without starting the wash cycle. It did, indeed, sound like a jack hammer, but was probably its insides disintegrating. Fortunately, the spin cycle worked fine, so I was able to drain the tub.

With the water level set to medium, the wash cycle did commence, but consisted of a feeble swishing back and forth (it operates by shooting jets of water through the sides of the tub while doing a half-spin) that did little to clean clothes. I washed one load twice and it still came out smelling slightly off - possibly though I didn't use enough detergent, based on advice from earlier reviews. Following that, I packed it up to return.

It's unreasonable to expect high quality with this product line, but every part of this machine is as cheap as could be used in its manufacture. The drain hose is of stiff, inflexible plastic that would undoubtedly break one day. There were slight leaks that caused puddles underneath, and also from the water hose connection. The metal plate you have to attach to the bottom has to be bent to make it fit - fortunately, it's not much thicker than a piece of aluminum foil. When I removed it to repackage the washer, there were bits of rubber and a film of oil on it, just from a couple uses. It's unlikely this machine would last very long.

There is a little entertainment to be had from the broken English instructions printed on top of the machine. The manual is a little better grammatically, but still not of much practical use. I can't say I would buy this brand again.
