Product review (5 stars): worth the purchase
After reading hundreds of reviews, I took a chance and bought this machine. Not wasting your time, it's worth every penny. I followed all instructions to the tee (don't overload, 1/4 of the normal amount of soap, etc) and it does its job. I've so far washed shirts (2x and 3x), towels,  shorts,  and socks and underwear. Spin dryer is powerful! No regrets here!

Only one stumbling block I noticed. It said to connect the drain tube. It was already connected,  unfortunately in the book the hose was in the wrong place in the picture. The only loose hose was stashed in thr spin dryer, which that hose was the water inlet hose. Threw me for a loop, then again opening at 11 pm after a day with the toddlers, my brain wasn't functioning to well. Haha
