Product review (5 stars): Works well and pretty quiet on a balanced floor and load
This review is for the MAR30 0.9cu ft. It works. Be sure to tighten the lint filter cap clockwise on the back! It is the coaster-sized, round, black cap at the bottom. Not doing so will leak any water poured into the machine, whether via a bucket or via the hose. The manual does not mention this. The drainage pump needs to be raised above 24 inches or so (check the manual) because the water can also pump out that way. Mine empties into the bathtub but it needs to be tied to a dead weight like a smooth rock so that it doesn't splash or flood the bathroom. The plastic hose got stripped because it did not tighten finitely so my dad bought me a metal hose and cap. It only pumps water after the power button is on so it will block it when not in use. Still, the hose should be fastened and sealed on both ends. There is one wash cycle and two rinse cycles on a normal wash, which means it fills water up 3 times and drains all the water after three spin cycles for 42-44 minutes on level 6 water height(the highest) overall the clothes seem washed though I only use warm and cold water. It says not to use hot water above a certain temp and it may be because the motor needs to be kept cool. It's about a third the size of a normal machine but without the center wheel I can fit about half a large load, or 6lbs wet weight. I bought mine for well under $200 from a third party merchant, so that was a factor. If space is a premium, then this is the one, but if you have a little more space, 2.1cu ft wouldn't be bad.
