Product review (3 stars): I've been using my 13 gallon garbage can to empty the washer
It gets the job done but it's a lot of work. Everything gets Tangled. You must stand guard or use the mesh bags. The mesh bags are your friend. The pump is a joke. I've been using my 13 gallon garbage can to empty the washer. It has been a great help. If I had to do laundry for more than just me, it would go back. Since it's just me, it beats going to the laundromat.  I must admit that it does an excellent job cleaning.
