Product review (3 stars): great machine, but invest in a good lint brush or buy stock in lint rollers
while i love this machine because it washes everything i own except my blankets, there are a few issues. first, the pros:

* can fit a decent amount of clothes in the washer part and get them relatively clean.
* quiet operation
* eliminates many trips to the laundry room

unfortunately, there are many cons.

* the lint trap is garbage. invest in a good lint brush; you will need it as the "lint trap" doesn't collect a darn thing.
* beware of over-filling. it won't agitate if the load is too heavy.
* for ever load in the washer, you require two trips thru the spin cycle because the spinner is half the size as the washer
* be prepared to allow for at least one hour per load. 15 minutes for wash, 15 minutes for rinse, 10 minutes for spinning. no, that doesn't equate to an hour, but you still have to fill the machine and stand over it while it drains, and since none of the hoses fit american sinks, you will be making lots of trips to the bathtub filling the with buckets of water. invest in a 5 gallon bucket or two. wear comfortable shoes when standing over it to let it drain.
* do not, i repeat, DO NOT let that hose fall to the floor after you have used it--at least not unless you are in the mood to mop. the hose holds a significant amount of water in the pump and will drain as soon as it hits the floor. i've taken to hanging the hose in the machine to keep the water trapped to avoid my kitchen tiles from coming up.

over all, solid machine and i'm glad i bought it. i can deal with lint. except in my underwear, and that's where it always seems to land. but a great little machine.
