Product review (4 stars): 4 out of 5 mostly because the hose for filling is useless
I love this mighty little washer!! I wash several loads in 1 day at my own pace while I'm home doing other things around the house. Great for emergency washes like if your child gets suddenly sick and throws up on everything..  I've had this machine for almost a year!! I love it so much I am buying another washer and giving my sister my old one to use for the new baby so she doesn't have to bring the baby clothes to a laundromat. It took about a month to figure out the best way to wash our clothes but I use this for 3 people, 2 adults and 1 child. I wash a week's worth of clothes in 1 day, I hang the clothes around my apartment on hangers, I have an over the door clothes hanging system a canopy bed that I hang the clothes around the frame and if I run out of room I just use the shower curtain rod. You can soak the clothes if they are extra dirty, sometimes my husband gets his clothes extremely dirty from work, so I soak them in moderately hot water for 25 minutes with a tablespoon or laundry soap (I don't actually measure just kind of eyeball  it) wash the full 15 minutes, drain the water, rinse for a minute with fresh water, then refill tub with fresh water and maybe some fabric softener, wash for another 15 minutes then spin dry with water for 1 minute then respin for the full 5 minutes. The clothes come out just barely damp, way dryer than the laundromat! I also use Downy wrinkle releaser spray for when they are drying to keep the clothes softer. I only use a small amount of laundry soap maybe like a tablespoon, it does go a long way! I have it stored in my bathroom and the set up is super easy I use 2 upside down milk crates in the tub with a piece of plywood to cover the top of the crates, I put the washing machine on top of that so the hose can gravity drain right down the tub drain. Also my husband and I went to home Depot and got a few hardware pieces to make the filling much easier, I used some tips from a previous reviewer, we got a split for the shower head and an adapter that we attached a hose to. Also the split for the shower head I just pull up on the nob to switch over to the hose, the push it down to switch back to the shower head. I really recommend this amazing machine totally worth the price and I'd say get the warranty just in case totally totally worth every penny!! Also since I've had this machine I've still gone to the laundromat a hand full of times and have regretted it everytime!! Mostly because of lost socks and how extremely and grossly soaked our jeans come out!! I also refuse to dry jeans at the laundromat I always  bring them home and hang them to dry. Also another til my husband is 6 ft tall and wears a size 40 in jeans/pants/shorts so I am able to fit 1 pair of his big work jeans and 2- 3 of his tshirts in 1 load and they wash beautifully. You really want to make sure that you clothes can spin freely to wash well so don't overstuff! And water level depends on how big your load is I generally fill between the medium and full line.
