Product review (5 stars): Surprisingly Large
Just received this today and the seller sent by a freight delivery service rather than UPS, reporting they had some previous damage using UPS. This was packaged very nicely with no damage whatsoever. It was easy to assemble but the book is very basic, with no mention how much detergent to use. We used setting 5 (we misunderstood that setting 6 would show a flashing light) was the second largest capacity and washed a full sheet, a queen sheet, 2 large pillow cases, seven gymnastics leotards, 2 gymnastics shorts, 2 panties, a bra, and a blouse. The clothes came out clean. The machine did two rinses on the normal cycle. I attached the machine using the quick release setup for the faucet (included), but I had to supplement with Teflon tape (not included) so the faucet didn't spray up. I needed about 5 or 6 layers of tape to make it work. There was no mention in the book of a gray panel and the 2 screws included, but I was able to figure out that this panel screws to the bottom of the unit, which was easy to turn on its side. The unit is neither quiet nor obnoxiously loud, and it does shake a bit during spinning. There are 2 very small wheels on the unit that require you to tilt the unit in order to use them. These wheels seemed bordering on useless on my linoleum floor. I am considering a $20.00 4-wheel dolly (Lowes has them) for ease in transporting. While in use, I will use bricks as makeshift brakes. I am very pleased with my purchase.
