Product review (5 stars): A 3 year review...
I bought this in 2009 and use it at least once a week for 3 or 4 loads. This little machine performs much better than I ever expected it to when first I bought it.
Contrary to what I've read you can wash a pair of jeans in this or several T's and skivvies and the motor is plenty powerful enough to do the job.
I fill it above the max fill line when necessary and throw a towel over the top to avoid spills. This was money well spent in my opinion, and when this one gives up the ghost I'll be replacing it with the same machine. One tip, put the clothes in first, then detergent then fill enough to float the laundry for it to work correctly.
