The only  differences are that the lid has to be closed during water intake; no biggie... but the drain hose is also quite shorter. You really have to place this machine very close to the sink. I don't think 80 lbs is much to move but I decided I wanted to extend the hoses so that I did not have to move it each time I do laundry. The water inlet is easy to replace with a longer one. You can find one here easy. What is not easy is extending the drain hose because it is not the standard size for washers. The best way that worked for me was this: I bought an Eastman dishwasher garbage disposal connector 5/8 on one end and 7/8 on the other and a 3/4 Inside Diameter hose. Note: You do not want to extend the drain hose too long if you are plan to make it a permanent extension because water will remain in the hose after washing. Just connect the drain hose that comes with the machine to the 7/8 end of the connector, tighten it and connect the hose on the other end. I did this with a heavy duty hose but it would work better with a more flexible one. I just did not want to buy a whole hose to cut it up. I hope this helps.
