Product review (5 stars): Better than expected
In the laundry mat I have come across many things which added up to a bad experience.  Corn kernals, cigeratte butts, sand spurs, etc.  I was tired of it and wanted something I could use in my small home.

I purchased this portable washer after seeing the video review from another person.  Everything they said is correct.  I am saving money on heading to the laundry mat, and can now even do my laundry in my P.J.s at home anytime I want.  It's super easy to use.  I have it set up next to the sink in the bathroom, which is also next to a power outlet.  It did come with a hose for filling it, but it didn't have a good fit over the faucet in the sink.  So, I invested in a $2 bucket and fill that up in the tub.  I then fill the washer and put a bit of soap in, set the timer and I'm all set.  Once the wash cycle is quiet and effective.  Once it's done, there is no buzzer so you just have to listen for a small click or keep a rough estimate of time.  Once the wash is done, I drain the water into the sink with the hose provided, and fill again with the bucket for a rinse cycle.  Again setting the timer, but for a shorter time period, I let it spin.  Once I drain the water the clothes are clean, and the washer itself just air dries with the lid open.  When I remove the laundry, I have been squeezing the items as best as I can and then hanging them to dry.  It does take a while for them to dry since there is no spin cycle, as a traditional washer would have to drain the water from the clothing.  Although not necessary, arthritic hands don't always allow for continual squeezing, so I am purchasing the portable clother spinner too to help with that.

I think this item is ideal for someone who wants to save money, save time, has small space, and is tired of dealing with other peoples messes when we just want clean clothes.
