Product review (5 stars): Best purchase I've ever made!!! I'd give it 10 stars if i could
Oh my gosh!! I love it!! Its absolutely perfect! I have a family of 5 and i can wash almost a regular load of laundry. A bit smaller but that fine. It beats having to take it to laundry mat or use the machines here at the complex. I can do laundry anytime i want! Lol sometimes I'd end up leaving my clothes in the dryer here because it would get to late at night, hubby would ne asleep,  and I'm not going to the laundry room by myself.

It is sooooo quiet. My the water from the water  filter hitting the water in  my turtle tank is louder than the washer. I recently washed my king size fitted sheet and register sheet + 8 pillow cases in it. The pillows cases might have overloaded it a bit but i wanted to see how it handled it. It did sound a little strained during the spin cycle so i won't be doing that again.

Since I bought this washer our laundry has not piled up even once. Ive had it for almost a month and i usually ALWAYS  have laundry piled up. It costs me 1.25 to wash and a 1.25 to dry here at the complex. I was spending about 50 a month on laundry alone. After looking up the energy cost for California when i received it with its energy card, it's going to cost me about 18.70 a year. I just Googled 'energy costs by state appliances'  and you can enter in your appliance, wattage, average amount of time used, days per year and select your state or go with the national average. I live in california so my kwh is more expensive.  18 per year vs 50 a month is nothing. Even if it cost me 100 a year id still be saving a ton of money.

 I dry my clothes in the manatee dryer. I originally sort of regretted getting the manatee and wished I'd maybe invested the money in a ventless dryer. But after getting used to it and figuring out how to really work with it i love the manatee dryer as well. A big plus side of the dryer is it doesn't damage your clothes at all. I hang my clothes in half over wire hangers and set the timer to 2 hours. That seems to be about the average depending on the material. All the clothes dry at different rates so I go through it and remove clothes that are dry. Or I'll load it with clothes at night and set of for its highest time (4 hours) and let clothes dry over night. I like it because the clothes aren't tumbling around each other getting damaged and they smell AMAZING!! the fabric softener i add to the wash doesn't get sucked out in the dryer. My husband asked me if putting the clothes on hangers and then taking them off just to put them back on regular hangers bothered me and i said "no. It actually makes it more organized. Instead of having a heaping pile of clothes to fold and put away they're in a nice neat pile that i can easily move where ever i want. Makes it seem less overwhelming"

Anyways, this review isn't about the dryer it's about the washer lol i found i can easily wash 8 regular towels in it. I honestly can't find a single negative thing about it. That's either because it really is that awesome, or its because after doing laundry at a laundromat or complex for the past 8 years im just ecstatic to have my own washer. I'll say this though, i wish i would've thought to Google portable washing machines YEARS ago.
