Product review (4 stars): Solution for water leakage from adaptor
I like to use my original aerator to wash dishes. Every time after laundry was done,I would unscrew the adapter and switch back to my old aerator. Then I would switch back to the adapter to do wash. A wrench is put near the sink for this purpose. It wasn't long before water began to leak. I called customer service but was told just to screw it tight,which I did and water still leaked. I thought of the teflon tape I used to install my shower head. I wrapped some around the adapter about 3 turns. No water has ever leaked and I have not even changed the teflon tape. It costs only about 80 cents. I also taped the drain hose to the sink using masking tape.(Now I just tie the 2 hoses with strings because I changed masking tape a lot and they are not cheap!)
  Some of my tips for this machine are:
1. When I remove the quick connector,I wrap it around towel because water will shoot out even after faucet is turned off.
2. Machine tends to move a bit and the shop got me caster wheels with locks.
3. It doesn't wash too big a load. It is hard to tell how much can be washed. I put clothes in a plastic shopping bag. It can hold about one and a half shopping bags of clothes. I turn on the washer and fill it up with water. After it is full,I open the lid and push clothes as further down as possible. So far,I have not had an unbalanced signal from the washer.
  One complaint is that the control panel is too sensitive. Sometimes when I touch the panel and it is not even near the buttons,the machine would change to a different setting.
  Where I am living now,electricity is cheap,about 6 cents per kwhr. It costs about $1 per month to use this washer.(I do about 8 to 10 washes a month).In the old days,I spent more than that for one wash in the laundromat. I still have to use the drier in the laundry room of this building but the savings have been considerable.
  UPDATE:As of today,April 2010,the machine has been working for one and a half years without problem. The sensitive panel I mentioned above had gone away mysteriously. I load more clothes than recommended and I push them hard to the bottom and the clothes are still clean after wash,at least they appear to be. I never had big spill of water. Once or twice,there were small spills probably because I load too many clothes. I just soaked up the water with bounty paper.
