Product review (5 stars): Perfect Washer For Our Rental House
Just got the machine a couple of days ago and have done about 10 loads so far -- and it works great. I have it hooked up to a regular washer hookup (hot/cold/drain) and have no problems with leakage. For a small washer, it has a lot of features. Countdown timer. Multiple modes. Multiple water level setups. And it's quiet.

If you are expecting a tiny washer, this isn't for you. It's 24x24x36 tall. And you have to leave a couple of inches on the sides and the back for the hoses. So, unless you have a really big kitchen or bathroom, it's not going to fit. We wanted something that would handle decent sized loaded, but be easy to move ourselves (we're renters), and this fits the bill perfectly.

I've gotten quite a bit of clothes in it. About 14 t-shirts or about 6 pairs of jeans in a load. Basically, if I'm doing a full load, I fill it up -- but don't compact down the clothes -- and I'm good to go. This is a great washer for 1-2 people. And, since you can set the water level, if you just need to do a few things (socks, underwear), you won't waste water.

Keep in mind that it does ship via FedEx or UPS -- so there's a chance that it's going to get dented. Ours had a few cosmetic dents, but since it's a washer sitting in our garage, no biggie. It's about 80 lbs, so can be lifted, but not easily moved like the smaller Pandas.

Unpacking is easy. Cut the packing straps off the box, take out the top and side Styrofoam, and then lift the box over the washer. (The bottom of the box is held by the straps.) The bottom Styrofoam was pretty beaten up, likely in shipping, but the washer survived the trip fine. Mine had a gray grid-like piece of plastic packed at the top of the washer and an unmarked screw. No instructions on what that was for, but I figured out that you slide that into the bottom and use the screw to secure it. (It only fits one way, so once you figure it out, putting it in is easy -- but you have to tip the washer to do it -- get some assistance when doing this.)
