This product is AWESOME BABY...... and guess what? I have had it for almost 2months now and it's totally convenient,  I started out washing a nice load.... literally  lol like 5 shirts, a pair of bed room slippers and  3 pair of shorts. I was soo excited, soo old school in a way with a touch of an upgrade. However I did upgrade to an electric one a week ago.... please follow my comment on the della portable washer to those of you who are reading this comment now.  Thank you all
