Product review (5 stars): Godsend!
I got tired of lugging heavy laundry baskets up and down stairs from a second story apartment, in and out of car, in and out of laundromat, being with weird people. What a godsend! When I first used the machine I was surprised at the black water. Apparently the expensive laundromat machines don't clean as well as I thought they did. Excellent cleaning power with this machine! The sheer convenience of doing your own laundry any time you want is so worth it. Dont waste your money on a dryer machine or heating rack. We use a folding wooden clothes drying rack and a regular fan (like for summer cooling) if we are in a tearing hurry. It only takes about an hour to dry. The spinner is so good that I only need to run it for a minute or two and the clothes are almost dry.
