Product review (1 stars): Don't waste your money on this, not even for a short period or light loads!!
Although I didn't expect this to be a long-term full scale washer replacement, just thought we'd use it for the duration of our stay in a washer-less apartment and then hopefully use it as a light back-up. But it failed to work even for a short period to at least to prove it's money's worth! Very delicately used, based exactly on directions. Always loaded up to or less than the limit line showed, with few light clothes and always did only one or two cycles at a time. First it stopped running, just quit after a couple of months, called amazon and they didn't do anything about it as there is absolutely no warranty or parts available. Then perhaps it was having a heating issue or such, it came back up and used for a few more months and the top part (bucket) stopped spinning!! Tried multiple times to see it revived... nothing! What a waste of money! Shouldn't have considered even for the short term/back-up or light use. Just look elsewhere. I am looking to replace again now, after less than 6 months or so, definitely not with this again!!
