Product review (3 stars): works for me
I've used this a couple months now.  I had to buy a dolly with a handle to roll it around.  Glad I did.

This machine does its job, but it has lots of shortcomings.  It leaks under the top cover down the sides.  I've felt it leaking while it's working.  It also sprays and leaks water from wash to spin and spin to wash.

The manual is just awful.  The drain knob does not need to be on "drain" to run water out of the spin side.  So you can wash while spinning.  I load stuff in the spin side.  Shut it up.  Set on 5 minutes.  Spin out the wash water.  While it's still spinning, I turn on the fresh water into the spin intake.  After a few seconds, it usually drains out of the drain hose.  I turn the water off and drain till no more water comes out.  Turn the water back on.  I keep doing this cycle 4 to 6 times during a 5-minute spin until the water seems to come out clean.

Lint gets under the agitator.  The manual doesn't tell how to pop the screw cap off.  I figured that out.  However, I can't get the screw loose.  Even under the cap there was lint, so I'm sure a ton more has collected under the agitator.

The wash and the spin sides spray on each other.  The lids have to be shut to keep from splashing around the outside of the machine.  I have it on a large tray to catch any drips.  I also have it on a couple pieces of neoprene to prevent it from sliding.  It moves quite violently when it's working.  This is more noticeable when only one side is working, because it throws the machine out of balance.

The wash side is nice and spacious, but the spin side doesn't really handle as much as the wash side.  A better balance of capacities would help.

The washing agitation is quite vigorous.  Feels like the clothes are getting clean.

The drain pump doesn't get the bottom couple inches of water out of the machine.  I roll it on its handy dolly to the back door and drop the drain hose under the back steps and let it gravity drain.  It still has some kind of lower level that holds water.  I can hear it when I move the machine to its storage spot.

I bought a garden hose adapter for my kitchen faucet and then cut a 5/8"ID (inside diameter) hose to the length I need to run water to the wash and spin intakes.  A splitter would allow for two little hose pieces, so there's no need to move the hose back and forth.  My sink's too small to hook up so much stuff.

I clipped a finch feeder sock over the end of the drain hose, which catches all the lint the useless built-in lint collector doesn't get.

I'm having way too much fun doing laundry.
