Product review (5 stars): Work with what you've got.
I received this 4 months ago as a gift. Very happy with it. It washes well but I am most impressed with the spin dry, Even a level 1 spin (about 1 minute) takes a dripping wet towel and makes it dry enough to move outside to a live without dripping a single drop of water. I had read reviews about the difficulty of setting up the machine to mater water input easy. I have set up my machine on an old unused coffee table in my bathroom beside the tub to allow the hose to fall into the tub for draining. I us a shower head adapter to allow me to attach my handheld shower head and a flexible garden hose to the shower pipe. The adapter has a switch to redirect water between two shower heads. This allows me to use both my shower head and the garden hose without ever attaching/detaching/reattaching any hoses. Soon after getting the machine the rubber faucet adapter that is on the end of the manufacturer provided hose came off. Not expecting it to work but curious I put the rubber piece into the garden hose and affixed it to the water inlet on the machine. It works perfectly. The hose/adapter are a perfect fit and the setup does not leak. This set up was not complicated or expensive (if you need to buy the items mentioned) and works for a small bathroom as I have in my apartment.
