Product review (4 stars): No regrets here.
I'm only giving it four instead of five stars because you have to catch it during the rinse cycle to put liquid fabric softener in (EDIT: Buy a Downey ball. Works perfectly and only costs about $5) . It's a little annoying when you miss it, but this beats the h*** out of a laundromat. The clothes are CLEAN you'd never know the difference between this half size and a full size washer's cleaned clothes. I run the crap out of it in the four days I've had it to test it out. Maybe 15 loads of everything from blankets to towels to jeans. The capacity holds about half as much as a loosely loaded standard full size washer. I set it up myself in less than 15 minutes with a pair of pliers. That's it. Connects directly to one of my two bathroom sinks. Small apartments need this washer.
