Product review (5 stars): Works Well!
After a month of use (5-6 loads) it's working very well. Shipping was quick as I ordered it on a Friday and it arrived the following Wednesday. I bought this model because it has one of the largest capacities for a portable washer. Also, the mostly favorable reviews made me think that this was the best choice. I hooked it up to the kitchen sink using the quick connector that is supplied with the unit. By hooking it up directly to the faucet I can control the temperature of the water from there, but I only wash with cold water anyway. There are a couple of small wheels on the back to move it around, but I purchased a $15 furniture dolley from Harbor Freight that makes it much easier to move around. You have your choice of 3 wash sizes (small, medium or large). I always use large because I try to maximize my loads. A large cycle will wash 2 khaki pants, 2 collared shirts and about a week of socks/underwear for 1 person. You can probably do more than that, but I don't want to overload it. The wash cycle lasts around 40 minutes and the clothes come out pretty clean. There are a lot of moving parts when it agitates, so hopefully that will not cause it to prematurely break down. Overall I'm happy with the performance, ease of use and portability of the machine. If it gives me several years of good service, I will be extremely happy with my purchase. I also purchased the largest capacity Panda dryer and so far I'm happy with it too. I will write a separate review for that.
