Product review (4 stars): A Great Way to Do Laundry InHouse (at least as of the first 30 days of purchase)
It's taken me awhile to figure out how best to make this work without buying additional "stuff," and I finally think I have it.  Despite the fact that a piece has already broken (more on that later), I'm really glad I bought this, and I did based on reviews; hence my taking the time to write about my experience.  For inquiring minds, it does come in a box that DOESN'T identify what's inside, which is good when your homeowners' docs say "no washer."  Second, unboxing is a breeeze and it's not too difficult to lift and carry around.  While I wish I had bought a pump washer (and I recommend you consider it) the gravity drain works fine as long as you have it raised.  Despite what several reviewers said, just putting it in the bathtub doesn't work well because it's an insufficient drop.  I had 4 glass blocks which right now are being used to support this.  While it's a tad wobbly, particularly on spin cycle, I've run one load this way and it was fine.  Secondly, the spinner side is INCREDIBLE.  It really, really gets the liquid out and clothes dry much quicker than when you take them out of a "regular" washer and hang them to dry.

Despite what many people wrote, I had no problem going to Home Depot and buying some plastic tubing that fits over the water intake valves.  I simply stick the tube in the washer side and put it on the intake valve on the spinner side.

As far as washing is concerned, PLEASE be careful when the detergent!  I put mine in a pump soap dispenser and slowly came to the realization that ONE pump of soap is more than enough!  Rinsing the soap out is the biggest issue and ultimately what I do is similar to what someone else posted -- I spin the laundry after washing for 1 minute or so, then put it back in the washer side and re-fill with water and "wash" for a few minutes (generally adding vinegar), then use the spin cycle with water flowing in for 1 minute or so,  and spin without water for 2 to 3 minutes.

What has broken is the lid to the spinner side.  The little plastic insert your supposed to put on top of the clothes popped up and actually "shaved" plastic off from the inside and also somehow damaged the top lid so now I have to scotch tape it down.  I don't know what got shaved off, whether it was an inside catch or what, but I had to wipe out alot of plastic, so be sore that insert plastic disc is really pushed down on top of your clothes before you spin.

Overall, for the price and quality, I highly recommend this and have now ordered the Panda 3.75 dryer so I can have the full laundry experience in house.  I'll review that after I use it for a while.  I'll also revise this posting as time goes on.  I hope this lasts longer than a year but it being lightweight plastic, we'll see.
