Product review (2 stars): THIS WASHER MUST BE KEEPING DERMATOLOGIST BUSY
Got this machine about 4 months ago and WANTED TO LIKE IT but...strongly recommend DO NOT BUY...perhaps a different brand or a regular
washer. But believe u will regret..........
  First, others need to know I am not obsessive-compulsive about 'spots' on clothes...not a slob but work at home and needed a small washer. For years have been using the hand-cranked 'Wonderwasher' and really liked it but its limitations and still required trips to laundromat which I hate.
  Had a good plumber install hoses for it, as was tired of hauling water for 'Wonderwasher.'  I watched other customer's YouTube videos and made
sure I know what I was doing before using it. Before posting this review I have spent 4 months trying to resolve problems with the unit and today
felt compelled to WARN others.
  FYI, had timely delivery, no problem with the machine and it does mechaniically run ok.  I actually love the dryer but need acceptable clothes
to dry which is the hassle.  I also read most reviews published on Amazon and attempted to solve problems way other have and  they have not
worked for me...
  1) machine has a powerful engine which destroyed some old clothes literally.  Tried customer suggestion of using mesh washing bags and
after two loads, 2 of the mesh bags developed big tears in them making this approach futile, as clothes would escape bags and still get
VIGOROUSLY AGITATED...
  2) BIGGEST PROBLEM IS WASHER DOES NOT REMOVE SOAP..do small loads and rarely in 4 months added soap...my Wonderwasher
took a tad and this was not an issue ever.  Clothes from the first load I did required almost 6 rinses to get rid of 70% of soap, wearing the
clothes next day resulted in a severe rash(and I am not prone to rashes) and I hand rinsed the load before drying.
1.  SOAPY WATER CANNOT BE RINSED OUT by machine - must hand rinse before drying..........
  a.  I immediately switched to a delicate laundry soap(though rarely used)
  b. tried rinsing clothes in tub with running water for 10-15 minutes and still could not get rid of suds....
  c.  tried rinsing clothes in tub(above) and rinsing clothes in dryer(5 minutes) - still had to hand rinse..
  d.  was a former chemist and added an anti-emulsifier agent(sodium bicarbonate) - no luck.
  e.  read one comment that soap accumulates in bottom of unit and added half a bottle of vinegar and did a wash cycle for
  15 minutes (no clothes) but there was soap.  ran another empty load of just water for 15 minutes - no suds and
  f. purchased a natural detergent with less suds(7th generation) and problem persists.
  g. found only way to get rid of suds is either hand rinsing or during the 5h or 6 th rinse cycle - scoop out the soap with a small
  cup and then run a rinse cycle.
  2. MACHINE EATS CLOTHES
  a. Found using liquid fabric softener mitigates this problem and went through 2 large bottles of it during first 10 washes.
  b. But can feel fabric on good quality clothing being worn away rapidly by this machine - have likely destroyed(ripped to shreds)
  older or cheap fabric items...but even my towels are being solely eroded and likely will need replacement.
  c. Several weeks ago, developed rashes again and have switched to a delicate fabric softener which I cannot ascertain
  yet if it will help - as these rashes are nasty and last (for me) 2 weeks are so.

  3. WILL CLOG UP YOUR PLUMBING...

  a. I am a tad obsessive/compulsive about keeping my plumbing clog free and use screened filters on all plumbing outlets.  But had to
  remove one in tub as drainage was too slow but jury rigged the end of hose to prevent junk from entering plumbing.
  b. this was only a partial solution and an especially dirty load literally destroys all efforts to filter out gunk from entering drain. Today
  washed only a few items and literally entire tub got filled with water.  Used plunger, Drano and after several hours got drainage
  in tub functional but this is a major nightmare that I do not enjoy or unless u are plumber need to seriously consider before buying
  this unit.

  3.  Lint...as many reviewers cited lint remover is a joke and have not messed with it....except for a black garment, I have just turned
  clothing inside out and ignored lint.

  4.  MAJOR CONCERN is unit somehow 'generates soap.'  Know this sounds absurd but despite having a Ph.d in sciences, I cannot
  figure this out and have spent hours on problem.  Even peeped into neighbor's washer to see if all washing machines do this and
  they don't....

  5.  CLOTHES appear clean and sure smell good(after ton of fabric softener) but have spent dozens of hours and a near fortune
  attempting to use this washer and believe it is potentially dangerous as agitation must create some chemical reaction forcing
  soap to bond to fabric.

  6. Unlike many who are using this unit with limited water, I have tons of water and water cheap in my area.  I dread what this
  might do to skin of people using it as illustrated in videos.  Also would never use on a young child or infants garments...

  7.  Lastly, for those who may be bewildered by this review, to my amazement, I have frequently found the soap willl not appear
  until the 3rd or 4th rinse(fabric softener will cause some suds) BUT am not referring to this...

  8.  Suggest people completely fill unit with water (past lint filter) run 15 minute wash and rinses cycles and do everythging feasible
  to get rid of soap - as anyone with delicate skin is asking for major problems, allergies etc.

  9.  I will continue to use and attempt to figure out how to get rid of soap but right now - only scooping it out with a cup during
  the 6th rinse cycle and rinsing clothes in sink has worked for me.

  10. If u don't see the soap I am referring to...you will just do another rinse cycle and it will appear to ur amazement.

  11. I would not buy this machine again or recommend it to worst enemy
