If installing a washing machine in a basement you should use a Sanivite not a long hose as a washing machine is not powerful enough to pump the water away. If you use a Saniflo in a basement and would like a toilet as well, use a Sanibest as it can cope with hot water. One more tip, use a 32mm waste pipe out of the Saniflo as a minimum as a 22mm pipe cannot cope with a large drum washing machine not following this tip will cause Saniflo Problems.

I agree. Newer washer models need high water pressure for them to work perfectly. If there is a low water pressure in your basement, it might not fill up the washer drum in time. The washer will automatically abort the washing cycle if it does not detect enough water. One solution to this problem is using pressure gauge. These are a little costly, though.
