Product review (4 stars): So Far, so good
After reading a lot of reviews on this product, I thought I'll chance it and get one, as I really did not want to use the public machines. What a surprise. I assembled as pictured and explained and had no trouble (after I've read some horror stories on bad assembly due to assembly instructions). I positioned the machine on a roller platform and made sure it was level. No problem. I also took some advise from some reviews and hooked the inlet/outlet pipes together with a tie at the faucet connection.  I'm glad I did this - the water comes out really fast and forceful and would have unhooked the pipe if I just let it hook over the kitchen sink.
On the first hook-up I did 3 loads back to back and had no problems. On my second laundry day I did 5 loads back to back. On the fifth load I overloaded the tub with laundry and the machine made a few grinding noises. It kept on washing though. (Note to self: DO NOT OVERLOAD.)
The tub is bigger than I expected and would fit half a full washer load. (I could fit 1 pair jeans, 2 t-shirts, 1 pair shorts, 2 pair socks, 5 pair underwear - no problem). I also used a little too much soap on the first few loads - still saw soap in final rinse water.
Last week did 3rd laundry day - machine sounds fine (after overfull load the previous wash day) and did 2 loads back to back.
The laundry comes out clean and the tub (no agitator) is wonderful on my delicates.
I am really, really happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this washer to anyone in an apartment with no washer hookup pipes/outlet.
