Product review (5 stars): Sad you can't have a real W/D?  Here's a solution!
This is the second dual tub portable washing machine I have owned.  I had the Laundry Alternative first (discontinued); i think this one is WAY better for a few reasons -- but the hardest thing that i had to give up was the "automatic" portion of my formal dual tub, but i am sure this is why it is now discontinued and i had issues with it after a year.  This product is "manual" so i cannot see the same issues.

Pros:
- BIG tub!  I used to have a 7.7; this one is much larger -- you wouldn't think 2.3 lb would make a difference, but it does!
- Larger spinner!  I am pretty sure i can wash everything i own now
- Spinner tub has a water inlet as well
- PUMP is great.

Cons:
- Hose doesn't fit @~!%&)&.  I knew this going into the purchase, but if you want to hook it up to a typical faucet you will be disappointed.  I had already previously installed a quick release latch for easy filling.  My previous machine had a screw on inlet; this one does not so if you really feel the need to fill through the inlet vs opening the lid and putting the water in (there's really no difference when it's manual), you will have to buy a hose or something similar to assist with this.  You can also fill with a bucket or whatever, so that's always an option if you don't feel like buying anything extra.
- Discharge hose has the same issue -- WAY too short.  I also switched which side of the machine it was coming out of for convenience. I had an extension hose from my previous machine so i anticipated this, but depending on your needs/uses you may not need this.
- 2 rinses may be better than one

Overall, i knew what to expect.  This gave me freedom from laundromats/using the crummy w/d on site at my apartment.  I will say leaving my house and my "real" washer and dryer was the most difficult thing to do as i loved the convenience.  This is a little more work than a traditional W/D unit; however the freedom is worth it.  It needs no extra hookups for power or drainage.  This tub is pretty big -- i can't even IMAGINE getting the bigger units -- and it can do all my laundry that i need.  For the future i know that i can use this easily for camping/etc., which is always nice.  I also bought the Panda dryer to help with my clothes.  Yes, the spin dryer gets the clothes REALLY dry, and air drying is fine, but i really missed the speed/convenience of a real warm dryer (nothing like taking your clothes out of there -- vs. a scratchy wash cloth that was air dried).

There are quite a few other models/brands out there, so make your choice wisely.  I picked Panda because they are always improving on their existing units PLUS the dryer was really good, so i knew i could trust the brand.  Good luck!  GET YOUR FREEDOM!!!
