Product review (4 stars): Tips for those with PETS (how to get all the pet hair off your clothes)
I purchased this exact model on another site (due to needing it shipped faster than what was available on Amazon Prime at the time of my purchase).  Now that I've had the machine for a few months, I have a few tips and tricks to share for those with pets. So if you've got a cat or dog - this is for you!  Only 4 stars because the lint trap on it is worthless.

Anyone with pets who line dries  (eg. does not have a dryer), knows that pet hair doesn't come off in the wash alone. Regular dryers are usually the only way to get all the pet hair off after washing.  I found that to be the case here, UNTIL I found the perfect solutions to use in addition to my Della.  For the record, I have two cats, both light color fur, they shed A LOT and I wear primarily all black clothes. The struggle is real.

With my suggestions below, I now have almost NO pet hair left on my clothes when I line dry. (About 3 or so stray hairs per clothing item - nothing like before where it looked like I rolled my clean clothes in cat hair right after washing).

First, the Della does have a lint trap - but it DOES NOTHING at all for pet hair or lint. I look inside and there is never anything in the lint trap - it all stays on the clothes or comes out in the drain.  I learned this the hard way after my bathroom sink drain was clogged after the first day of use (about 4 loads).

I read tons of other reviews for various portable washers to catch more pet hair and lint. Here's what you do

1. Get a lint trap that you tie to the end of the Della drain hose. I got these from Amazon. It catches all the link and pet hair and only water gets through the holes (mostly).&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/LDR-504-3110-Nylon-Lint-Trap-2-Per-Bag/dp/B001EJD7NI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">LDR 504 3110 Nylon Lint Trap 2 Per Bag</a>

2. Wherever you use your drain hose, get a drain cover too. I drain mine in my bathtub now (after I clogged my bathroom sink) and use this drain cover in the tub. This is really important because although the laundry balls and drain hose cover get almost everything, after a few loads I notice I have to wipe a thin layer of link/hair off my drain cover too. Better that goes in the trash than clog up the drain.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/OXO-Good-Grips-Bathtub-Drain-Protector/dp/B00EU6HB9S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">OXO Good Grips Bathtub Drain Protector</a>

3. MOST IMPORTANT: Get these floating laundry ball lint catchers. They are made for top load washers, and work especially well in washers without an agitator in the middle. I WAS AMAZED by how much lint these little guys catch. I use two in my Della at the same time (after reading some reviews for laundry lint balls in general people suggested using 2-3 at the same time in each load). I started with two, and each one catches TONS of hair and link. Like a sick amount that makes me wonder if there is a god.  These laundry balls float on the top of the water and catch TONS of cat hair as it floats in the water while washing.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Top-loading-washing-machine-only-Washing-Laundry-Ball-Dust-amp-Remove-lint-Float-on-the-water-Set-of-2-Original/dp/B01HAJXP5A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Top loading washing machine only Washing Laundry Ball Dust & Remove lint (Float on the water) Set of 2 (Original)</a>

The floating laundry balls do most of the work - it was insane how much lint and pet hair they caught. The drain hose cover and tub drain cover are backups to anything they miss.

Also, for anyone who would rather use the BATHTUB facet to fill their washer instead of the sink connector (that's me), I got this for my bathtub nozzle and it works great - also from amazon. It's made to fit on a BATHTUB faucet, not the sink.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Danco-10086-VersaSpray-Handheld-Shower-White/dp/B003OJ3LP0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Danco 10086 VersaSpray Handheld Shower, White</a>

With those tips in place, my Della is a powerhouse for washing pet hair covered things - I love this machine. It works great, spinner is amazing. I have mine set up in my bathroom right behind a door, and that's where it stays. ( I did get an extension cord to use with it so that I don't have to move it around).  My apartment is very small, only 600 sq ft, and even with the bathroom door open, I can barely hear it when I leave the bathroom. When I'm in a few rooms away from the bathroom, I almost forget it's running at all!  That means I know it's not bothering my neighbors and I can wash at any hour without worry.

I use my drain hose in the bathub and I have had no problems with the drain pump getting it all out.  Love this machine and no more dragging my clothes to the laundry mat in 110 degree Los Angeles summer days!
