Product review (5 stars): I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! Check out my tips!!
Right now I'm living in a house that has a washer and dryer hookup but I'm about to be downsizing to an apartment. Because of this I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a standard washer and dryer only to have no place to put it later. I read tons about this product and watched YouTube videos by alaskagranny before deciding to purchase one. This little washer is a powerhouse!! I actually don't mind doing laundry now when I used to hate it before. I've tested the limits of this little guy and found that although it's not recommended, it'll wash a queen sized duvet cover in a pinch! The spinner compartment holds more than you think it will but by packing it full, the clothes don't come out as dry. I spent the first few weeks learning just how big a load I could do without having to spin in multiple batches. I went to Walmart and purchased a large metal foldable drying rack before actually ordering the Panda lol! Once purchased I had it set up in the kitchen and used the hose it comes with. Afterwards I decided to put it in the laundry room and buy a washer hose hookup because the plastic hose it comes with cant handle high water pressure and makes filling up take longer. since using the washer hose, I can knock out a load of laundry much faster just from cutting down fill time. TIPS:: 1) Wash towels MAX 2 at a time and spin one at a time. 2) spin smaller loads to get more water out so they dry faster 3) don't put the drain hose up too high or it will not drain properly and will take forever 4) before hanging to dry, shake the crap out of everything that leaves the spinner. doing this, I have no issues with wrinkles! however hard you shake clothes, shake towels twice as hard! 5) ****I recommend spinning between the wash cycle and rinse cycle as this helps remove all of the soap and prevent your clothes from being crunchy!***** 6) I use powdered Gain and I use about a teaspoon+ per load give or take. and I use maybe a tablespoon of fabric softener in the rinse cycle. Follow these tips for a VERY satisfactory time using the Panda!

UPDATE 8-11-15: I tried the rinsing in the spinner method as indicated by another user and wow!! It works so well! Definitely use whatever method works for you and your situation. Rinsing while in the spinner is definitely at your own risk because the instruction state NOT to put water in the spinner, however there's an inlet on that side so obviously the originally intended it for that purpose.
