Product review (4 stars): Good washer with a few cons.
1st let me say, I was going to buy one of those tiny little under $100 unit's with the two tubs.  I'm glad I decided to pay more for this one.  It is much easier to use and to hookup than those little ones.  No manual filling or empying water.  It hooks to your fawcet and empties to a sink or tub drain.

It was packed really well on the bottom but not nearly as much on the  top and sides.  It came with a 4 inch dent in the side.  Nothing that can't be fixed and didn't effect operation.  It comes with leveling feet installed.  There are rollers in the kit you can replace the feet with.  But the rollers do scrape on the bottom of the washer and literally fell apart on my unit the first day.  So I'm back to the feet again.

 It's a much bigger tub than it looked like in the pictures.  The outside is about 18 x 18 by 32 inches if you need to figure out where to store it.  Of course you'll need another foot or so above it to open the lid and load it.

During setup, I had some issues.  1st the outgoing hose is extremely cheaply made and after the 1st spinning it leaked.  I ended up sealing the joints with silcone sealer and it hasn't leaked again so far.  But be careful with this hose.  If you pull or tug on it too hard, you're very likely to crack or break it.  The hose for the intake is much sturdier.  All the connectors provided though are mostly plastic and you need to get them very tight although they are shaped where wrenches won't fit them.  They are designed to be tightened by hand only but you'll want to torque them a bit to be sure they don't leak. I used a set of channel locks to tighten them.  Both hoses are quite short so you'll need to have your washer setting right next to the sink or your hoses will have to have extensions.  Instructions say to only use cold water.  I  turn on both hot and cold together so I do use warm.  I think if you ran scalding hot water only, the plastic connectors would melt or deform.

It takes a bit of getting used to the methods needed to use this.  It differs a bit from big washers.  It fills fast and empties even faster.  It is quiet most of the time.  You will sometimes have to pause the machine and realign clothes to cure imbalances while spinning.  I have mine setting on a rug that helps to quiet it.  Unless the spin cycle becomes unbalanced, I can generally not even tell it's running from the next room.  However, if it goes out of balance and can't restabilize itself, it will sound like a 600 lb. woodpecker on your floor.  It's very sensitive to spinning heavy items full of water like blue jeans.  They frequently go unbalanced.  It will usually make enough banging noises to wake the dead if your clothes go out of balance and you'll generally hear that long before it gives the out of balance alarm.  It will not agitate and will continously and loudly beep if you don't close it's lid when it has filled the basin and is ready to start the cycle.

The control panel gives quite a few options by cycling through possible settings.  You can quickly clean something or let it go through numerous agitations in the heavy duty mode.  But be warned, if you overload this unit and put clothes above the water line, it won't drag them down into the water.  Because it has no center agitator post like the bigger washers, the clothes tend to stay at the same level they were originally placed in the tub.  So clothes sticking above the water line will likely continue to stay above the water line as they are swooshed around horizontally.  Also overloading causes massive wrinkling as it spins.  So learn how many of each type of clothes you can wash and don't overload.

I highly recommend you use liquid detergent.  I've noticed it's not moving the water enough to dissolve the powder very well.  If you want to add bleach or detergents, you are supposed to do so before the clothes are loaded.  You'll have to time the cycles yourself to add fabric softener at the right time.

This unit produces nearly dry, light shirts and pants that can often be hung up without more drying.  Heavy blue jeans generally won't spin well at all and will have more water in them.  Cotton's, heavy items and more wrinkle prone clothes will still need a dryer.  But it does a great job of wringing out the water while spinning most clothes.  Most of my clothes come clean in the first run.  You can pretreat easily but you'll need to time all this yourself as the unit doesn't automatically pause for it.

A certain amount of water stays in the output tube and doesn't get emptied out of the hose each time if it is above the tub's waterline.  Be careful to drain the outlet hose if you are planning to lower the hose below the tub level or it's leftover water will pour onto your floor.

I used to have to lug my laundry almost a full block away to use an apartment community laundromat with only 3 washers and dryers.  They almost never worked right either stealing my quarters or not washing or drying.  They stayed unrepaired for months at a time.  While I now must do much smaller loads, I do them throughout the week while I'm doing other things I want to.  No more having to stand and watch my clothes for hours to be sure no one steals them.  No more having to go to the bank to get quarters weekly.  No more dragging heavy weighted clothes and chemicals around to have clean clothes.

  I also bought a small Magic Chef dryer at the same time but it's really poor at drying.  So I'm glad that most light loads out of this washer are almost dry when the spin cycle completes.  So I can often just hang up stuff to dry and it doesn't wrinkle much.  I also use a foldable drying rack I bought here at Amazon to let light weight items dry on their own.  If you use warm water in this washer, you'll get some minor humidity and heat in the room it's in.  So don't place it in a room with food or items that humidity can damage.

This washer has given me back a good chunk of my time I used to spend in laundromats. Now I'm getting other things I want to do done while the laundry is going instead of having to wait for hours in laundromats.  Now if I could just buy a machine that automatically loaded the washer/dryer and folded and put the clothes away, I'd have it made! {Grin}

Update April 2018: I've discovered a problem with this washer.  It doesn't rinse well.  It's rinse cycle is just draining the wash cycle, spinning it, refilling the tub one time and agitating the clothes, draining and spinning again.  It never adds water while spinning and this becomes an issue.  When soap  is used during the wash, it will tend to collect on the water surface.  The way this drains without spinning leads to all that soap being left on the clothes surface and doesn't then exit the washer.  When it rinses, it only fills the tub just like when washing.  All the soap goes from the clothes back onto the water surface.  When drained again, the soap goes right back on the clothes again.  The soaped clothes don't get rinsed well.

Most washers will start their spin cycles with a full tub of water and eventually drop more water into the tub when it's spinning so any surface soap residue gets spun off.  This washer only fills the tub once during a rinse and drains it the same way as a wash and never puts water in during the spin.

So if you do just the one rinse, you might still have soap residue in your clothes.  The full tub is a little less suceptible to this than the two lower water level settings.  But they're all not great at rinsing.  I've found it's necessary to run one or even two extra rinse-only cycles at the end of almost every wash.  Depending on how well the material you are washing absorbs soap (towels are the worst) depends on how well they rinse.  It does add several more minutes of time per load to do those extra rinses.
