Product review (5 stars): Simple, helpful, and easy
Assembly didn't need instructions. It's that straightforward. The washer is a little too large to tuck under a counter or in a coat closet, but it does sit nicely on the counter. You will need something to hang wet items on for drying.

Others complained about the washer not providing agitation, and I can't help but wonder if they missed a crucial idea: you determine how much agitation the laundry gets. First, the clothes have to have room to move. Don't cram everything you can into a load. In fact, the more agitation it needs, the fewer items should go in. Second, don't fill the washer up with water. As you turn the handle, you should hear and feel the water slosh and the clothes fall from one end to the other. If you turn to quickly, the water and clothes will stick to one end due to centrifugal force. If the washer is full of water, there's no chance for the clothes to hit the bottom and the water to pour over them. If you're absolutely determined to get more agitation than the washer can provide with simple physics, get yourself some decorative river rocks - heavy, round, and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand - and put a few in the laundry when you wash it. That will allow you to beat the clothes without tearing them up.
