Product review (5 stars): better than laundromat!
Thumbs up for this portable washing machine.  It's not perfect- there is no agitator and the clothes do come out a little extra twisted but after 10 loads and running it all different cycles, I am happy to report that no clothes have been negatively affected (no holes or tears found).  I also recommend laundry bags for your delicate laundry for this machine too.  Another plus is that the control panel does work well- for the cycle options.  Because it is a portable washer, I control the water temp from the faucet, at least that's what I do to ensure proper temperatures for my delicate washing etc.  The drain hose is plastic and does not disconnect from the washer, another huge plus (I have had other portable washers that actually have the drain hose as a pop on and they have come off mid wash-not good).  The drain hose could be more 'substantial' but if you 'rig' it correctly you should not have a problem.  Overall it sure beats that trip down to the laundromat on a cold day and the seller and Amazon prime worked amazingly well in getting it to me asap.
