Product review (5 stars): A fabulous alternative to handwashing
I really dove deep into the Amazon reviews with this before I purchased it, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. It seems like most of the negative reviews on here are from people who didn't seem to fully understand what they were purchasing. This is NOT a an equivalent of a full washer-dryer. However, if you don't (or can't) have an in-house washer-dryer where you live and you hate or are tired of the laundry-mat and hand-washing is too tedious and time-consuming, this is perfect for you.

Things to note:
-the load size is smaller than the average washer
-the dryer is not a heat dryer, but a high-speed spinner that wicks away water (more effectively than hand-wringing does). You'll still have to hang dry

We've used it 6 times so far and love it. It gets the clothes clean and removes a lot of the water to make air drying faster. It's much faster and more effective than hand-washing and I love not having the hassle of going to the laundry-mat anymore.
