Product review (4 stars): HONEST REVIEW AND TIPS...GREAT LITTLE MACHINE
I bought this somewhere else but I LOVE this machine. if you take it with a grain of salt that it is portable and not perfect.... you will love it. Things I learned and adjust to mentally before attempting to wash anything...... It does small loads so i deal with it. Maybe like 5 pieces of light weight clothing and a few socks or underwear thrown it. When you switch a full washer load to the spinner it take 2 separate spin load to do the one wash load in spinner. If you do long jeans its only gonna take like 2 pairs of adult size. Forget even attempting towels unless your desperate and have small towels. in tat case you can do maybe 2 lightweight bath towels tops. They just get to darn heavy loaded with water. Use a TEASPOON of LOW sudsing HE detergent TOPS , no more. Anymore and you will do like 3 rinses and possibly more depending on how much soap. Seems crazy but its true. Even one teaspoon of regular detergent will suds you up like crazy if all you have is regular I would do like half a teaspoon. Things like bras  or delicates need to go in a mesh bag first or you will have a twisted ripped mess .  DON't trust the hoses on your sink faucet end. Yeah yeah yeah they might hold one time and not the next... just hold it at the faucet end while filling , it only takes like 2 minutes. If you can use this IN the bathtub all will be golden. No worry about spills or mishaps or hoses slipping. have a hand held shower head and your REALLY golden for easy filling. DON't forget to get something like a rubbermaid tote lid to elevated bottom a bit from bottom of tub to avoid over soaking base too much. HUGE TIP..... if you use soap correctly and don't over soap... you can EASILY just do your rinse in the spinner. Just switch your water hose to the spinner side and run water in the first part of your spin cycle then drain for the rest of your spin cycle. This saves the whole step of having to do the whole rinse do-over after washing in the washing side. This step only works for mostly  NON HEAVY items and not over suds stuff. Last but not least...Are you short on SPACE or storage? Keep this thing on a porch or patio or balcony. Just keep covered in a large tote or  something  to keep elements out. You can even RUN IT outside if you use a bucket to fill the wash side and use a big bucket for the drain when draining. I found a big Rubbermaid cooler works great if you have one of those anyway. So all that said... YES its somewhat a pain but YES does the job if you need it and figure out your best plan of attack with trial and error. GREAT for doing even your lightweight stuff at home to save moneyf and then saving your heavy stuff for the  laundromat. IT REALLY DOES WASH AND SPIN WELL...if used correctly.
