Product review (5 stars): Necessary apartment purchase.
I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my wife and 2... wait 3 kids now. Our laundry bills were around $50 to $100 a month depending on the phases of the moon - no I mean how messy our toddler gets and of course the laundry machines were not always working and not always open so I decided to splurge on this Panda laundry machine. What a fantastic purchase! Not only does it save me money, but it's more convenient since I can just put in a load while I'm playing with my kids or just surfing the web or whatever; and I don't have to worry about people taking my damp clothes  out of the machine if I'm a few minutes late.
 As to the size, it's not so small that it would fit under my bathroom counter so it does have to be moved every time I do the wash. It comes with wheels on the back, but they are so small that unless the machine is tilted at about a 45 degree angle and moved on a smooth tile or hardwood floor they are all but useless - the solution, as suggested by another reviewer, purchase a small hand cart with a bungee tie and it's much easier to relocate. When the Panda is emptied of clothes, it's relatively light so you don't even need a huge hand cart.
When I first loaded the Panda onto my little hand truck and tried to move it, I heard liquid sloshing around and thought "what the heck" but I assume it's hydraulic fluid to keep the machine well lubricated and balanced. The Panda has surprisingly "huge" power and cleans very well and spins very quickly and dries to a mildly damp state and once the clothes are on the drying rack overnight they are completely dry, they are probably dry earlier, but I'm not going to keep track, I don't want to watch grass grow either.
I've used this Panda washer to do about 4 or 5 loads per week consistently since I've purchased it and though I don't have the longevity of years of use I feel pretty secure in making my opinions known. We've washed things such as: a set of queen sized sheets (fitted and flat together); 2 pairs of jeans with several shirts and socks; a couple of hoodies along with sweat pants and socks; 2 or 3 large bath towels along with 4 or 5 small towels (not wash cloths); and other mixes of the above and never had any issues. My wife did try to wash a small comforter, but the comforter became so heavy when wet that it caused the motor to stop and exude a burning smell - I was worried and annoyed, but after unplugging the Panda, taking that comforter out (which must have weighed 30 pounds easy probably closer to 50 pounds), when I plugged the machine in and did a test run with a single bath towel, it seemed fine and still is working great (that was about 5 weeks ago).
The balance of the machine determines how much noise the Panda will make. The "legs" on the Panda are adjustable by hand and just to be sure you should make sure the legs are stable and you will have a very quiet usage - I just check every time the washer is moved since the moving can cause the leg to untighten or tighten a little. But it is really a very quiet machine for the amount of power it has.
Note: always make sure to clean the little lint trap inside the machine so not too much junk goes down the drain.
