Product review (4 stars): I liked that it was "off the grid" using no electricity ...
I bought this little washer after my electric washer broke. I liked that it was "off the grid" using no electricity and very little water in comparison to a big washing machine. It was easy to use and even my youngest son who is 10 was able to use it. We used it in a household of 5 as our exclusive washer for about 6 months. Then my step daughter moved in, packed it full to the top with jeans and sweatshirts, and it bent the parts that hold the drum to the frame. It kept working for another month or so but finally it was time to retire it. I think it would have lasted a lot longer if it hadn't been over filled. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have a handle on each side so when one arm gets tired you can easily use the other.
