Product review (5 stars): Revised to 5 stars
I am revising my previous review on this one. I purchased this 2/16/2017 and am only now realizing the full benefit it affords. Originally, I thought that this unit did not live up to expectations but after giving up on it I decided to give it another try. I'm glad I did.

You have to come up with a way to streamline the process using this machine.

Important factors to consider

Where will you put it?
How will you fill it?
How will you drain it?
Where will hang clothes to dry after spin?

I keep mine in my bathtub and fill it from the tub's spout. It drains down the tub's drain.
I have a drying rack that can be used indoors or out.

Don't overfill the dryer. Put the heavier items on the bottom of the spinner.

After draining water, clothes are still soapy. I keep unit set to "drain" and add more water to "rinse". I also will run clothes under tub's spout sometimes (if needed) to further rinse.

Don't put delicate items in here. No knit sweaters etc.! Best for socks, underwear, etc. Caution putting items you can't live without or spent a fortune on in here.

Better to do small loads frequently than big loads occasionally.

It took me a while to figure out the nuances of the machine and to come up with a way to make it effective for me. Once I put a system in place and realized the machine's limits/benefits I found it to be much more helpful.



Old review:

Hard to rinse soap out of clothes. Have to run several times with just water to try to remove soap. Still seems like soap still present in clothes. Spinner very aggressive. Stretches clothing out. Not good for anything delicate. Gave up. Back to laundromat. By the time you do several loads and hang up to dry laundromat quicker. Wanted to love but is just bleh.
