Product review (4 stars): .9 cu ft washer
This washer arrives with the quick connect to standard kitchen faucet.  One can slide the bottom plate (black plastic panel with small holes for ventilation) put 2 screws in and it is ready to go.  I found upon disconnecting the quick connect, water splashes too much at the sink for everyday use.  I have a faucet aerator/sprayer similar to(http://www.amazon.com/SF0080-Flexible-Aerator-Sprayer-Threaded/dp/B000BOBZPY?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00) and find it drastically improved the usability of my kitchen faucet.

Also, this item has only one supply line and water temperature is controlled at a single handle kitchen faucet.  The base looks to me is designed for multiple companies (think Toyota Corolla vs Geo Prism) thus is not enclosed (rat proof).  I aluminum taped some cut out aluminum window screen to close it.

Washing Function:  Very good, can wash a twin size duvet.  Being that it spins quite well before rinse, I found the normal cycle is adequate most of the time and that only takes 31 minutes (one rinse).  Heavy wash will add one more rinse to 41 minutes.  Delicates can use soak cycle which intermittently wash and soak.  Typical of pulsating washers, any soft longish (knit pants or knit blouses) really need to be in lingerie washer bags.  What I like about this washer is the lint filter really works well.  But the pump filter at the back base of the machine also needs to be cleaned out every now and then (instruction says every 10 washes).  I  also rubber band a knee high stocking at the drain hose which I intertwined with the supply hose for stability.
