Product review (5 stars): I love my little washing machine!
My little machine arrived this afternoon - and I've been doing laundry like crazy since! It works like a dream. The clothes come out very clean, in no time at all - I've only used 5-6 minutes agitation per wash, and that has been more than sufficient. The little spinner is small, true, but it works very well. Generally you can do one load in two spins, so it's not that bad.

The only thing I don't like is the hose - it slips off my faucet if I turn the water on full blast, so it takes forever to fill up. I've been using a bucket to save time, but I'm going to look for a hose that fits my faucet better.

To rinse, I simply turn the water on while it's draining, let it run through the clothes, then turn off the drain and fill it with water to cover, put it back on wash and let it agitate a bit, then drain that. The first load, I had to do this twice to get all the soap out, but I used too much soap. You don't need but a tiny bit, and you should use the low-suds soap for HE machines. That will save you a lot of time that you would spend rinsing.

All in all, this is a super buy. I already saved at least $6 just this afternoon by doing my clothes at home.

It's the next best thing to a full-sized machine. I had been using one of those plunger thingies to wash clothes by hand, and it was a huge pain in my rear. This is much better, and the machine is compact and adorable. I am so pleased - today is like Christmas at my house!
