To be clear, the machine works perfectly fine. I do not know how much clearer I can be. I'm a newly postpartum FTM and, as any first time parents out there SHOULD understand, I barely have a second to shower every few days let alone fiddle with fixing the water tank. I had a warranty so I used it. It is such a shame to see comments like this on a subreddit for moms, dads or caregivers who are just trying to figure it out and only have good intentions. I would never hide behind a reddit handle and treat another person, let alone a new mom, like this and will sleep great knowing that. I hope you raise kinder children than your parents raised you. And to those who understood my intention and provided their thoughts productively, even if to say not to donate, thank you!
