i heard so many things about portable washers and people told me not to get one but i wish i got this sooner! What a relief knowing I have this in my home and it does all that i need it to for my cleaning towles, t-shirts, socks, etc. Even can hold a bed sheet and sweatshirts. Of course not a comforter but you can expect that anyway when purchasing knowing the dimensions you are working with. Does a great job cleaning
