Product review (5 stars): Small but wonderful, 10/10
I live in a large city with a lot of universities, so I was able to buy the machine second hand for $150 from someone who had been using it for a few months.  I set an alert on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace and was able to get one after a month or so. Highly recommend doing this if you are able and the cost is an issue for you.

The washer has been absolutely perfect. I show people my cute washer when they come over. The load size is small (ex: I can only do three fluffy bath towels at once), but works well with how often I wash my clothes. I have used it to wash two bathmats at once with no problems.

Clothes come out cleaner than they did when I was using a regular washer, and this washer is more gentle on everything.

I line dry my clothes and will likely never buy a matching dryer since it uses so much electricity and would be another large appliance in my home.
