Product review (5 stars): Exactly what I wanted!!!
This machine is exactly what I thought it would be, and I LOVE it!  I use it to wash lightweight clothing I would otherwise hand wash (such as my kids' dance clothes and cheap tops from Forever 21). The spin dryer removes most of the water from the clothing. The lightest weight items hang dry in just an hour or so. Cotton knit items, elastic waist bands or heavier items do take a bit longer. I place especially delicate items in a laundry bag. The lint trap is fairly useless and to keep lint out of the bathrub drain, I put an old stocking over the drainage tube secured by a rubberband. It took a few tries to figure out how much laundry detergent to use -- maybe a teaspoon -- and I would definitely advise against overloading the machine. It doesn't hold too much. There are plenty of YouTube videos posted on line which feature demonstrations of similar portable washers such as the Panda. Check those out; if you like what you see, this model will fit the bill! I chose this one over the Panda because it looked exactly the same as the model that drains by gravity but this one has a pump and it cost less.
