Was checking out Craigslist the other day, came across an ad for an apartment sized front loader for 175, gave them a call, said the machines were refurbished and they had to get them out of their shop, hence the cheap price. It arrived this morning, and it will be in need of some parts, new springs on top and a pin to hold the strut to the tub, other than that, its a great lil machine, and will be great to have in the apartment, no more shared washers finally! If anyone has the user manual, please drop me a note, thanks! Chris and Rich
