    Well, I must have gotten a LEMON, because this washer leaks everytime, if you want flooded floors each time you launder, this ones for you! Leaks around the cord coming out of the mcahine, leaks underneathe constantly during washing cycle. I have towels around it and a mop to keep wiping up, so neighbor below doesn't get their ceiling wet. Knob to raise and lower wheels fell off and won't go back on, so now I can't even move it to the sink to use it at all. The agitator knotted the clothes and towels, sheets up around it as it moves and shoves them up out of the water, so they are not even getting washed. The only good thing about it is the size and it looks cute, sitting there, but I do not need a usless piece of crap to just sit there to stack things on, for that is all this washer is good for. I was so excited to buy this and it was a hassel to get it up 5 flights, I was estatic to start using it, and the first time, water leaking all under it, clothes out of water climbing up ...

    I bought this washer 2 years ago and it is still working great. I had no problems installing it at all despite of the fact that I am a woman:-) It is big enough for 2 people and I had even washed blankets in it. It is easy to wheel it all over the place as long as you don't have carpets in the bathroom or the kitchen:-) I thought that it will be noisy but is actually quiet and it is easy to connect to the sink. The only problem I had (which is more of a problem with my sink faucet than with the machine) is that sometimes it leaks from the faucet but once I replaced the rubber circle inside of the connector it was great. Before the replacement I just stopped the water flow once the machine was full and washing. And I have a portable dishwasher which connects to the same sink using the same adapter so there is no need to change it if you have more than one appliance.

    I have had this machine for over six months and absolutely love it. In an apt. setting it is just great. It washes beautifully; I think it often does a better job than larger permanent washers when you use the long cycle. However, I always wash in cold water and air dry everything now on gull wing racks -= thus it is wonderful for saving energy. I do manually add softener for the last rinse, which is very easy to do if you set a digital kitchen timer as the cycles are consistent. It is usually quiet -- and the only time it isn't is if you overload it with too many heavy towels, which then makes spinning louder. My suggested improvements would be to make the casters taller, the leveller lever more easily workable, and do something (or offer advice)on how to lessen occasional lint; Also, the faucet connector could be just a little tighter as I do get some drips. I would DEFINITELY buy another if something happens to it. It is SO NICE not to go to the apt. laundry and fight ... Read more

    If you hate going to the laundramat, like me, you will love this portable washer. It is quiet, does a full load of washing, and is extremely easy to use. Jason at Today's Concepts was very cool, assuring me that if my machine arrived DOA, I would be reimbursed for all I had paid, including shipping (and I live in Hawaii!). This was the best Christmas present I ever gave myself. I highly recommend it. By the way, I have seen the Haier machine, and it is far less sturdy, only washes very small loads, and is more difficult to work with than the Danby; yes, it is cheaper, but you get what you pay for. I live on a limited income, but am so glad I paid the little bit extra for my lovely, hardy Danby.

    When I received this washer one of the rods holding up the tub was detached. I fixed this and it worked like a dream. However, a couple of weeks later another rod gave way. This one was much more difficult to fix because it was toward the front of the machine rather than toward the back where I could get a good look at it. The basic problem with this washer is that the supports that hold the rods in place are made of cheap plastic and apparently break fairly easily. The first one broke without the washer ever being used and the second broke while I was washing a bed sheet. I would not recommend this washer to any one else.
