Product review (4 stars): Love it !!!!!
I love this machine and I would have given it five stars but there is a hole in the drain hose which leaks a little bit of water each time I use it and for that reason I'm giving it four stars When used properly this is a fabulous machine I do my wash then I take the items out and spin dry them while I'm draining the washbasin .... This removes the dirt and suds from the clothing most efficiently before I return them to the wash side and add fresh water for the rinse cycle After that I spin dry them again and they are so super fresh and clean and I don't need fabric softener because They don't need softening All  The detergent is completely gone and my cotton clothes smell like cotton and my wool clothing (Yes I have washed wool sweaters and socks in there no problem )and they come out smelling like fresh wool ...  it's a great little machine if you want to be more conscientious about the water you use it takes me about 10 gallons to do a load of clothing and then I saved that water and dump it down my toilet to flush the toilet  .. this way not only in my conserving water by using less to wash my clothing but I am also using it to flush my toilet and saving water there also   I was using the washing machine originally in my bathtub and lifting it in and out but now I have it sitting in my hallway on top of a wooden chest and I just carried the water back-and-forth to and from the bathroom and it's all very portable and very easy to do .. oh, and another thing When I know I'm completely done using it I pour about a gallon of water back into the wash basin and turn it on for a couple of swishes to rinse it and then I drain it completely and dry the machine down with a microfiber cloths and leave the doors open to air it out This way when it's not an use it is fresh clean  clean and dry .....  I would definitely give this machine thumbs up
