Product review (4 stars): I'm liking this little machine!
So far I love this little machine. I didn't give it five stars because it may be leaking at times but I'm not certain as I have been filling it with a bucket & my have spilled the water myself. I will update this review if it is a leaking problem.
As far as  how it works, it's a great little machine. It washes everything good & the spin dryer is fantastic, the clothes are barely damp when taken out. The hose attachment doesn't fit my faucet so it's a pain to fill it up by hand so I need to find some way of addressing this issue. I have not had a problem with lint as many reviewers have complained about & I washed a whole hamper full of towels & no lint remined on the towels or on any other clothes I've washed. I did however put an old nylon stocking  over the pump hose because lots of lint went down the drain & I don't want clogged drains & also I put a small screen over the drain opening.
If I don't have leaking problems then I will upgrade this rating to 5 stars because it's a great little washing machine for anyone in an apartment  looking to save money. As mentioned in other reviews you have to stay by it especially when draining but I set it to wash & walk away until it finishes but since it doesn't drain automatically you don't have to worry about rushing back to it since you set the drain option. It uses very little detergent & water & I plan to get my daughter one for her apartment.
