Product review (5 stars): but it had very poor reviews and poor peformance
We bought this Panda for our youngest daughter as a Christmas gift,  to use in her apartment.  She HATES the laundromat.  She had suggested another brand, but it had very poor reviews and poor peformance.  Most of the reviews for this brand were positive, so we took the plunge and purchased the Panda.  It is a bit bigger than anyone of us expected, but it's really cute for what it is.  Our daughter used it for the first time tonight and said it washed her jeans so wonderfully, and spins them almost dry.  Be informed, the spinner is NOT a dryer, as stated in the product details. It is a spinner.  I suggest you buy 3 extra items when you purchase the Panda:  (1) a clip and drip laundry hanger for the delicates.  This item hangs from a sturdy shower rod.  (2)  A mesh bag for the delicates and socks to wash in, or they will be tangled and knotted.  (3) a metal clothes drying rack ( I purchased one from Wal-Mart for around $20).  Our daughter drained her washer into the bathtub.  She recommends putting a thick plush rug under the washer to help muffle the noise. She said the residents just below her can probably hear the washer, and she will likely just run the washer during the daytime.  She is extremely satisfied with this portable washing  machine.
