Fantastic so far - and some important tips for use.

I heard about it on a Wednesday, researched it Wed night, bought it on Thursday and I now it is Saturday I am head over heels in love with it. I feel like Wall- E!

For the past 5 years I have lived in a walk up NYC apt without laundry in the building or a real washing machine hookup. I am very busy, hate wasting my days off lugging heavy bags to the crowded, dirty, noisy expensive laundromat, and don't like the lack of control, poor quality, sock loss, stinky detergent and insane cost of dropping clothes off, so the laundry has been a thorn in my side for a long time. I was very suspicious of this machine but thought I would give it a try and I'm so very glad that I have.

FACTS:
The setup was super easy, it hooked onto my sink in a flash, I have had no leaks at all, and the wash cycle system is simple and intuitive.

I have been running it on the ' high' water level, and sometimes even adding more water to the top with the manual override. It's been working fine, no leaks at all.

I am using the water draining into the sink as a gray water pre wash for my dishes and will save the rinse outflow in the summer for my plants.

PROS:
The price is pretty unbeatable.
Total control- over the wash time and cycles- heavy to delicate - water temperature, and everything else.
Ease of use- it is very intuitive.
It's not silent when it runs but it's quiet enough. Certainly not disturbing or annoying.
My clothes are coming out way cleaner than at the laundromat. I mean WAY CLEANER.
The clothes come out dry enough so that they will dry overnight.
My cat is entertained by the sink outflow and likes to sit on the machine ...
If you work at home it's a no brainer to deal with and segments your work periods ( aka gives you excuses for little breaks!)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Someone smart mentioned this in another review and they were right: it is IMPERATIVE that you attach some sort of filter to the outflow tube that drains into the sink. It will catch a LOT of lint that would otherwise go down and perhaps block your kitchen plumbing. They mentioned attaching a paint strainer with a rubber band but I am cheep and I used very small gauge plastic mesh 'baggie' that my fresh garlic came in at the supermarket. I clean this every 2 washes or so, it's a bit annoying but worth it, since it catches a surprising amount of lint.

You should attach the outflow tube to the inflow tube with a bungee or something so it doesn't jump around when draining into the sink.

I have had some in unbalanced loads, but that's my fault for overloading. When it gets unbalanced it goes into perpetual rinsing. It's easy to override. This has happened in 2 of my 6 large loads.

You can have the faucet on for the whole time the machine is running its cycle. I turn mine on in the beginning of the wash cycle and turn it off when the rinse is done. I didn't think it would work but it did.

It's kind of heavy to move around without wheels, and it seems the caster set is long gone but I just put it on a small wheeled dolly I had and it's no problem. It doesn't have locking wheels but the weight of the machine itself keeps it from moving without permission.

If you are washing anything with a drawstring waist like running shorts or sweatpants make sure to knot the drawstring before washing. The washing motion tends to suck the drawstrings out and I had one side of the drawstring of some running shorts disappear into the waistband wasteland.

As far as capacity, I was worried, some people on youtube are talking about washing one full sheet at a time. I haven't washed sheets yet and I may take those to the laundromat, but I'd say it takes about one third to one half a normal load.I only wash one 'big' thing like jeans or sweatpants per load, then add a lot of little things like underwear socks a couple of T shirts to finish the load etc. Based on reviews, I'm not going to wash my comforters or curtains or klippan sofa cover in it at all.

Definitely use liquid detergent and definitely let the water load first and add the clothes second. Very soon you will be able to eyeball how much soap and clothing it can take. I 'll be honest and say that am using 99 cent store HE detergent and it's fine.

I was worried about cost of electric use but at 10 cents per kilowatt it's rated to use $25 of electricity a year. Even at 14-16 cents/kw in NYC it's still low. Nice!

OVERALL
If I have trouble I will update this but so far so good. Obviously it's not for the Duggar family, heavy duty work or for people who don't want to ever think about loading or detergent, but for the price for the apartment dweller, it's potentially life changing. Beyond cost of laundry, it's already paying for itself in the time I can spend to work at home while it's working versus wretched wasted hours at the dreaded laundromat.
