Product review (5 stars): Great machine!
I LOVE our little machine.  It takes work to use it but it is worth it.  The washing side does a great job getting clothes clean and the spin dryer gets most of the water out. You don't need much soap at all.  I wash everything except sheets and towels in it.  I don't have anywhere to hang such large things up in the apartment so they have to go to the communal washer/dryer room - which I totally hate.  I wish I would have bought this YEARS ago.  I'd like to get the dryer too, but we don't have any room for it. This machine has already paid for itself.

Just some FYIs:  It does take work to use it because you have to switch clothes from one side to the other.  Keep a towel handy to mop up whatever drips you have while doing that.  If you fill up the washing side to the "H" (high) water line be aware there might be some slight leaking (meaning drips) that come out from under the lid, it is not a sealing lid, so water can splash out while it's washing.  Follow the directions and only spin 1/2 of the load that you washed at a time. Yes, it takes longer, but the clothes come out almost dry.  On this model, you can put water into the spin side to rinse while you are spinning.  You DON'T fill it up, but running a little bit in works wonders.  I was lucky in that the water hose DOES fit on my bathroom faucet, but you can fill up the washer side with a bucket - or if you are in the bathroom, a hand-held shower head works great.  The biggest issue I have is keeping the drain hose in the sink.  It didn't like to stay up there sometimes. I had to rig up something to keep it in place while washing or you can use a big bucket.  Pay attention to how much your bucket is filling though or you'll have a mess on your hands!  Last tip: Catching Lint. There is a LOT of lint produced so I have a lint catcher (bought at Daiso for $1.50) that I can toss into the washer with my laundry and I also attached an old hosiery sock at the end of the drain tube with a rubber band.  They catch TONS of lint.  The lint catcher that is built into the machine catches NOTHING.

Bottom line: If you don't mind a bit of work, get this machine. You won't regret it. I enjoy laundry now. I wish I had this for the last 16 years I've been in my little apartment.
