Product review (3 stars): Great for hand washables too
OK, I am loving this nifty little machine, so glad I bought it. It is not difficult to use tho you can't set it and walk away, it works really well.  I am lucky in that my faucet works with the water hose fit-wise.  And I have not had any problem with the water pump so that is a plus.  I do have a concern that there may be water in the holding tank that does not quite empty but time will tell if that is a problem.  The results are pretty good for this size and price machine....clothes come out cleaner than the Commercial Laundry that I tried.  The rinse and spin extractor is genius and gets the clothes to a state of just barely damp. It does entail some hands on work but nothing difficult.  The instruction booklet is a bit lacking but the Amazon videos give a good idea of how-to. I used the shipping foam as a stand but one of the vids shows using a board over the bathtub....smart for small spaces. That said, I will revisit later to let you know how it lasts and if there are any problems. I down voted 1 star because it came with some damp black dirt inside and it made me wonder had it been used.
10/27/17  So I took a star away because the drain hose developed a leak and the extractor is not as efficient as when first received. 3 months old, this is still new! That said I really like the concept of the machine just not happy with the degrading performance after such a short time.  It still works for light stuff.
