Product review (4 stars): A Welcomed Addition
I've had the product for 30 days and so far so good.  Be careful not to overload as we Americans have a tendency to do.  This little machine holds quite a bit though.  I've washed jeans, undergarment (bras in a mesh bag), washcloths and hand towels, but not large items like sheets, bath towels, or summer jackets.  I also purchased the spinner.  Def worth the investment if you can afford it.  It can be a bit of a production so try not to wait until "laundry day" or else you'll hate the process.  I use the rinse water of the previous wash for the next load.  Helps to cut down on water usage.  I've read about these things dying in a year (hence my 4-star review) so I'll update my review then.
