Product review (5 stars): Makes hand-washing a possibility
I love everything about this machine. It fits in my closet.  It's light and portable.  Most importantly, it spins almost all of the water out of my laundry, meaning I can easily wash and dry all of my laundry in my apartment (with the one exception of large blankets).  The machine is well on its way of paying for itself in saved trips to the laundromat.

II have spun-dry my bed sheets, my towels, my throw-sized light blankets, and all of my wearable laundry, including delicates.

Balancing the drum is not difficult; you just have to be mindful of how you load the machine. If it rocks off balance, stop the machine, press down on the off-balance side, and start it again.  9 times out of 10 that will solve the balance issue.
