Product review (5 stars): Great Washer
I live in a small apartment in Chicago with no washing machine. I got this delivered to my house, which can be hard when living in the city since the deliver driver always get confused with big packages. First I was going to hook it up to the bathroom sink but it did not have any threads. So I took the little metal thing and screwed it on the kitchen sink. I then figured out that you can quick connect it to the sink (sort of like an air compresser hose) When I first attached it to the sink and it was leaking from the facet. All I had to do was take out one of the little washers inside the hose (there are like 3 in there, I guess you can pick which one works best for you) and it worked great, no plumping tape or anything required. I was baffled by the gray plastic square piece but read on amazon you just screw it to the bottom of the machine with the one screw that is provided. This machine rocks, the size is big enough to wash my white Ikea blanket and more that enough to wash all my clothes. Highly recommended. If you have a sink with only one facet( like most people) just connect it to the cold intake. You can then decide how hot or cold you want the water with your sink handle instead of the washer because water only will be coming into the "cold" inlet of the washer
