Product review (5 stars): It's very easy to use
This is life-changing for apartment dwellers who have to schlep up and down stairs to the basement laundry room. I had my first load in it within minutes of unpacking it. It's very easy to use, and it holds a load about half the size of a regular washer. It did a flannel king-sized sheet and a few pillow cases with no problem. Another load was 5 normal weight towels. Another was 2 pairs of chinos and 4 yoga pants. You put in your clothes, fill it with water and add detergent and set the wash cycle; come back and drain; refill and run again to rinse and drain; transfer to the spin side, and in 5 minutes they come out drier any regular washer I have used. I also purchased a Panda dryer, and my sheets and towels dried in 30 minutes or less. With coin-operated machines costing about $10 a week, I'll be saving money after 11 months.
