Product review (5 stars): Must have item for families living in apartments
If you are a working mom, living in a apartment, with not a lot of help from hubby, with little ones, you need two items: this machine and a portable dishwasher. I recommend to do your best to save $375 to get both or make them must have baby shower items a group can put money together and surprise you with.

I live on a 3rd floor walk up and used to own the midea washer, a fully automated washer, purchased after my daughter was born. I wished I bought this machine instead.

I am able to wash my queen comforter from home. While a fully automated machine saves me the hassle of babysitting (manually setting timer to empty tub and turning on water to fill tub), the fact that is has 2.5 times the capacity of my old machine and rumbles way less (including being $100 cheaper), makes a world of a difference.

I am able to come home after 6pm and have the benefit of doing my laundry from home without having to worry about my neighbor below complaining about noise. I do have a heavy mat from when I had my old machine.

This machine is not too heavy and is great for small spaces.

Some other reviewers have turkey baster rubber bottom idea to fill the tub. It is a good idea, but I opted to use the water hose from my old machine to fill the machine with water quickly.
