Product review (5 stars): I love this! I hooked it up to my shower ...
I love this!  I hooked it up to my shower hose to fill it up (it takes 2 min. 10 seconds)  Remember, it has to be filled up twice per load, as once is for rinse cycle.  That's when the fabric soft liquid is added.  Also remember that unless your clothes are tumble dried, they will be wrinkled when dried.
This washer holds more than I thought it would.  It is the 10 lb. size.  I would buy this again with all the quarters I am saving from the laundry mat.
I won't know for a while, how much the electric and water bill will be from using this handy item.  I will try to make another post when I find out.  So far, I have done about 10 loads with no problem.
