Product review (5 stars): The washer was delivered super fast and I immediately put it to work
The washer was delivered super fast and I immediately put it to work. As a single person in a studio apartment with no laundry hook-ups this washer is exactly what I needed. As other reviews have stated, washing with the panda does require more work on your part than a traditional "set it and forget it" washer, but it's less effort than a hand crank wonder washer and for me the convenience of not having to lug my wash down stairs to my car and drive it somewhere to pay to wash it is more than worth it. The powerful agitator does a great job of getting clothes clean. I was surprised to see how much dirt came out in the drained water from a load that didn't seem very soiled. I honestly think my clothes are cleaner after washing with the Panda than they had been getting at the laundromat. The spin dryer does a great job especially if you make sure to squeeze out excess water before putting it in. Of course you can't expect it to come out bone dry, but items will be just a little damp and can hang dry quickly. As far as capacity is concerned it holds a decent amount in my opinion. My first load was four pairs of undies, three pairs of socks, some gym shorts, and three t-shirts and I likely could have fit another item or two. I bought the companion tumble dryer and can't wait for it to arrive and complete the set.
