Good compact washer

Delivery: from homedepot.com, came in perfect condition - no dents or damage, very well boxed, timely

Assembly: easy hose connection (though mine is useless because my sink faucet is not typical); the bottom plate is very thin aluminum with screw holes that will not match up, but a very small issue. You need to install it with the inside concave towards the machine. According from other users, if the bump is installed inwards, this will rattle and make a lot of noise. The illustration in manual is useless.

Load: decent size load; 3-4 loads is equal to about a medium of the regular-sized washer. You can fit a lot of toddler clothes in this washer. Adult clothes is limited, as well as bedding. Long pants or shirt sleeves can tangle a bit. I've even washed twin sheets, towels, smaller comforters, and rugs with great results. Heavy stains don't wash out too good (this goes with any washer I guess).

Washer pulse washes with low noise level. The initial spin to wring out water is pretty loud. The actual spin cycle noise level is lower and spins intermittently. The result is very dry clothes.

Problems: There were occasional malfunction with machine detecting water levels. Therefore, do not leave the machine alone when it is close to being done with filling the tub. If it is full and does not ring or stop at capacity, turn off the water and shift the tub gently from side to side. If this doesn't work, turn the capacity nob to the lower level, then back.

I was a little skeptical since some people did get faulty machines and a pain to find a service center to fix broken parts. I'm happy with mine and hope it will last a few years. Having this machine beats going to the laundry room or the laundry mat. Now I need a compact dryer.
