Product review (5 stars): Do it!!  Buy this - you won't regret it!
I bought this washer for my college kid.  His apartment has no facilities and hoofing it to the laundry was going to be nightmare for him.  I had it delivered to my home first so we could try it out before hauling it to college.  It has worked fantastic.  It gets the clothes super clean and it is fairly convenient compared to hauling your crap to the mat, spending your money on a crappy public washing machine and then hauling it home.  It uses very tiny amounts of soap and spins things out nicely.  I looked at many of these machines before deciding on this one.  I asked my kid recently how it was going with the machine and he said he loved it!!  This is from a kid born with the silver spoon who has hardly ever picked up after himself - for him to say he loves it - it must be good.  The clothes do come out a little wrinkled due to the high spin factor.  The good news: they are mostly dry when done spinning.  You can totally tell when it is off centered; when spinning correctly it is pretty darn quiet and smooth.  Highly recommend this product.
