Product review (4 stars): A GREAT LEAN CUTE GEM WASHING MACHINE!
Husband bought this for me (here at Amazon as well) as a Christmas gift (2015) after 7 years of looking and wishing I will find one like this at an affordable price. At the time of our purchase, there was not a single review about this machine so we were like "We'll see, maybe it will surprise us!". And surprise us it did!

WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT BUYING THIS WASHING MACHINE?
_DELIVERY is great!
_If you live in a condo or apartment and is getting tired of hauling your laundry to the laundromat..(with kind, not nosy neighbors. Know that this machine makes a noise that some people may find annoying. Being on the ground floor will be a plus for you)
_It DOES the job if you are looking for *A great alternative and help than hand washing your clothes and hauling laundry to the laundromat is like "giving birth" each time or that you are concerned of the "unknowns" in these laundromats....
_The NORMAL cycle is very strong and can really make the clothes clean and smelling fresh! Soft cycle is great for delicate fabrics but works just as great.
_Drain pump is working just fine for me (contrary to some reviews here).
_The spin dryer is a plus! *DO not expect the spin dryer to dry your clothes like automatic dryers (with heat) in the laundromats because it will not. If you like air drying your clothes minus the drips, then this is perfect.

WHAT THIS MACHINE CAN HANDLE?
1) 8-10 shirts or 4 cargo shorts and 4 shirts
2) 2-3 pairs of jeans (can push for 4 if you are petite)
3) A set of bed sheets (queen size: fitted and flat sheets in + pillow cases); fitted and flat sheets only if flannel sheet set as these get heavier  when soaked in water
4) 2-3 towels (large)
5) 2-3 standard size throw blankets (i use mostly fleece blankets)
6) 1 queen size quilt cotton comforter or coverlet (fluffy or thick comforters will be too heavy for this machine)

(Suggested) CARE FOR THIS MACHINE:
_Make sure that the you can hear the the water splashing in the washing tub each load. This means that you have just the right amount of clothes in that cycle. It will make the motor run efficiently and not forced.
_Never set to the max minutes of each cycle (washing or spin drying). 9-12 for washing should be enough and 4 in the spin dryer is just right.
_Be gentle when you are turning the knob from the wash cycle to drain - this is crucial to the system connected to the pump (from personal experience using a similar twin tub washer back in Asia)
_Use liquid detergent soap - easy for the machine and you will use less water as well.
_Wipe it dry after each use.

Why I am giving this a 4-star rating only?
_When it arrived and while opening the box with glee, an "awful" smell from the washing tub welcomed me.  :( The washing tub was wet - which may be from testing the machine during manufacturing but it should be wiped dry before shipping it to buyers. I am not sure if the machine we got was returned reason why it was wet inside like someone had used it once at least.
_This is a great portable washing machine (having an extensive experience using twin tub washers like this growing up in Asia, I can honestly say this is a great lean cute machine!). However, the hose to connect from your faucet to the washing tub is too short and the spout doesn't really fit American design faucets. So I had to be innovative - bucket became my BFF! (5 buckets (5L size of bucket) of water for each full load every cycle: soap in (9 mins), 1st & 2nd rinse (6 mins each), 3rd rinse with fabric softener in (6 mins).
_Do not attempt more than 80% of hot water in any cycle as the plastic (especially back part) will get so soft it almost looks "bloated" to me now. It works fine though with 50/50 temperature of water.
