Product review (5 stars): Reliable
I've had this washer for a couple of years now and I would buy another.  The only problems I've had were due to my own negligence of not securing the drain hose.  -- There's quite a bit of water in there! -- This machine is reliable, compact, energy efficient and a pleasure to use. There's no agitator mechanism to wear on your clothes and linens. The clothes are agitated by jets of pulsating water.  The lint trap is a small bit of genius.  You will want to use something to filter the end of the drain hose though (as stated in a prior review - good idea!) or the sink itself.  If you hate the laundromat and have a little bit of space for this and a drying rack, your good to go. Highly recommended.
