Product review (5 stars): Great little helper
I just got my machine today and did three loads.
The motor is very strong, I agree to the hose exchange like someone previously listed. I took the filler hose and slipped it into the drainage hose to make it longer so it reaches the bathtub easily and doesn't spill. I filled it up with bucket from faucet. Its just a bit of work around it but not like doing it by hand!!!

Unfortunately my landlord just found out and threatened me to raise the rent because of the water prices. Im sad, because I really liked the washing machine!!:(
This is New York for ya- back to the laundromat where people wash their dogbeds.....damn it.
