Product review (4 stars): I got in time for winter - apt. living so much easier
This compact washer is great - especially for a condo / apartment. I got it out of pure laziness..didn't want to have to walk to the laundry mat when the snow hits the ground. Totally worth it! Now here's the down side x 3:

1. some of the manual instructions can be slightly confusing to a
non-mechanic (probably a lost in translation problem since this is a Chinese product).

2. the rear casters are impossible to remove (to put the rear wheels on). I had to hire a plumber to do this.

3. The hoses are definitely too short...but a trip to the hardware store (for extended hoses and some kind of plumbing adapter) worked out that problem. You may also want to pick up a Y-adapter.

But it washes great. Check your apartment amperage! You may not be able to use the microwave or A/C at the same time.
