Product review (5 stars): Extreme Time Saver!
Don't know why I waited so long to purchase.  I read a ton of reviews on many different products and finally settled on this one.  Hand washing clothes is easy and efficient and I actually enjoy doing it.  Wringing them dry enough to not drip all over the floor while taking a day or two to dry was NOT fun.  This purchase allows me to wash and dry several loads in a single day now and nothing takes more than a day to dry, including my heavy towels.  I love, love, love this product!  I am a bigger lady and can easily fit five of my tops into the dryer, or three pairs of my dress pants.  I usually do the towels in two sets -- the two bath sheets in one load and the two hand towels and two wash clothes and my daughter's extra hand towel (her hair color is currently red and she's only allowed to use the old hand towel on it) in another load.  Takes a couple of minutes for the water to be spun out and things are practically dry and ready to hang for a few hours to finish.  Best splurge of money in a long time for the tremendous amount of time and hassle it saves me.  DO NOT forget to add a large mixing bowl (what I use) or a bucket before you plug it in -- I was laughing when I read earlier reviews, but I have to admit that I've done it once already too, and trust me, you'll have a three-foot lake in a second or two!  :-)  I do tend to hold the top when I first plug it in, but have not really had too many problems with off-balance loads, and after a second or two it stops.
