Pro's:- Lightweight machine is easy to move.- Washes and spins-dry the clothes very well.- Does not get unbalanced easily during spin.Con's:- I cannot get the machine to both fill and drain with the same exhaust hose setup. The exhaust hose has to be UP to fill the machine, and DOWN to drain during the spin cycle.- Machine thus needs to be monitored during the cycle such that I can move the exhaust hose up and down depending on whether it is washing or draining.
