Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this washer as a last resort before I went bonkers with trying to jockey for position in the apartment laundry room (there is one woman here who does at least 10 loads of laundry DAILY..!) Since I have had this wonderful machine for the past year, I have been able to keep up with all the laundry, and still enjoy my life! One secret to using this that I learned is to turn off the water after the wash water has all flowed in; that way, if you want to put in fabric softener, but you don't want to hang out over the machine, it will make a beeping sound when it needs more water for the rinse cycle and will not continue until you turn the water back on! Otherwise, you can time about 15 minutes for the wash cycle, keep the water on, and hope you don't get involved in anything more important. Another tip: I hang my clothes to dry, and I have discovered that it is helpful for faster drying to spin dry the clothes twice. Yet another tip: TURN OFF THE FREAKING WATER BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE WATER HOSE FROM THE SINK SPOUT. Yeah, we have learned the hard way. Make sure to turn it off and NOT remove the hose for a little bit, then place a towel over the connection as you remove it if you really don't want to take a shower at that moment. And, finally, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE DRAIN HOSE IN THE SINK AND FIRMLY DOWN THE DRAIN PIPE. Unless, of course, you want to wash your floors that day. I LOVE this washer and am very pleased with my purchase. It has improved the quality of my life considerably!
