Product review (4 stars): Good!
For more than 10 years I've had to go to a Laundromat to do my laundry. And I had had enough! The compact washing machine is, well, compact. So I have to do a lot of mini loads. It's a bit louder than I thought but I think I am still learning how much water to put in it to balance a load. It did smell pretty "plasticy" for a while after I opened the box. But it seemed to disappear after some use. I went on YouTube and watched videos of it working before I bought it so I would suggest that to anyone who wants to see it before buying. It seems to get everything clean. It's not perfect but good enough for me to not have to go to the Laundromat on a weekly basis. So for that, I love it!
