Product review (4 stars): WORTH THE MONEY!
My husband and I just moved into a beautiful new apartment. Only problem is there is no washer/dryer hook-up. The laundry facilities are nice, but I cant get myself to roll my dirty laundry through my complex, grab quarters from the Bank, lug my detergent, all while running back and forth to move my clothes into the dryer, and wait to repeat the process for another load. After doing my research I decided to get the Della Mini after watching videos, ciphering through reviews, and comparing prices etc.
Pros:
Price $120 bucks! Worth it.
Size (comparable to a large hamper/fits perfect in the master bathroom)
Quality: it gets the job done! Clothes are clean in minutes.
Spin dry: clothes come out practically dry. I rarely need to put it on longer than 2 minutes. Now the cons...
Cons:
- the hose is short and does not fit American nozzles. Do yourself a favor and just fill a bucket of warm/cold water. Its faster.
- the cord is short. Depending on your set-up you may need an extension cord.
- Spin dry: do NOT overstuff! It will shake and go off balance. You will have to take longer drying clothes.
Drain: hose may need to be lowered to have drain function kick in. Or, Ill just lift the machine (its light) up a bit to activate the drain.
Care: dry out the tub and remove all moisture. My tub arrived with a yellowish mold inside. Although I paid for a new one! At first I was furious, but after seeing that it functioned fine I decided to avoid the hassle of returning. Be sure to dry out excess water with a towel or rag.
Overall this thing has been a lifesaver! I will update this post in several months. Good luck
