I gave it two stars because the wash cycle is great.  But it does not dry.  Ran three kitchen towels through the machine and it ran for just over 6 hours before it said it was done.  Hung a 4 minutes remaining for almost 3 hours.  When it finally finish, towels were still wet.  Shaking then did not change that.  I had to put them out in the sun to finish drying.  I REALLY wanted to like this unit but I am not installing a cloths line to make this work.  Gasket also catches lint and it is really hard to clean off.
