Product review (3 stars): Runs with OPEN LID now
I guess the difference in quality depends on who you buy it from. Mine worked but runs with the lod open. I wished ot stopped because I use the time to soak or gather more items to add to the wash. But this was cheap so I cant complain. Once you spend the time for it to arrive, put it in the washer and check it out, you really don't feel like trying to return it. Plus, it's probably cheaper to just buy another one.
I would recommend buying the switch but would try a different seller (not Supplies Depot).
