This wash machine is made to roll over to the sink to connect to the faucet and drain. One done, disconnect and move to another location in your home. I have used this machine for several years and just air dry my clothes. It surprisingly washes clothes very thoroughly. I love it! I have taken very good care of it and kept it clean. It has always been in my house or in a clean shed. The base with very sturdy wheels goes with it. Let me know if you have any questions.
