Product review (1 stars): if there were negative stars, i'd give them
This machine is the flimsiest piece of junk I've ever had the misfortune to own. I don't usually take the time for reviews, but I feel I have to warn people away from this item.  The motor is so weak it could not spin a load with 3 shirts, a pair of pjs and some underwear. If there's anything long about your clothes, (sleeves, legs), beware, they will tie up in knots unless you babysit the machine to untangle after it drains for the rinse. I did not have the hose leak problem that others had, and so counted myself lucky, but now, just under 1 year after purchase, the entire machine has died, with no recourse because it's out of warantee. It only just barely paid for itself maybe. STAY AWAY!!! It's inexpensive for a reason!
