Product review (4 stars): The spinner leaves clothes damp just like a full size machine
I recently moved into a studio that had no washer dryer hook ups.  I'm spoiled after using front load machines for several years.  I did my homework on this and read the reviews, before finally purchasing it, along with the Panda dryer.  I'd never used a portable machine; pleasantly surprised how well it works.  My clothes come out clean after the first wash.  I suggest washing small loads and using about 1/2 of the usual detergent (I use HE soap).  This does require more work than a full size machine since you have to move the clothes to the spinner and do a rinse cycle, which requires refilling the machine and using no soap.  The spinner leaves clothes damp just like a full size machine. I also use the water inlet during the spin cycle to remove excess detergent.  All together, a single load takes about 20 mns. to wash and spin, before drying them.  It does have a minor leak, hence the 4 stars. Instead of shipping it back to the company, I decided to use the lid of an old plastic tub to catch water and it works fine. It's not enough of a leak to overflow the lid even after 4-5 loads. Overall good purchase & I don't have to leave home to do laundry!
