Product review (5 stars): Perfect for small apartments.
I live in a tiny efficiency apt. I wanted the convenience of washing clothes there rather than lugging loads of clothes down to the laundry room. I never knew when the machines were in use and I wanted to save money. I had read the reviews which for the most part were positive. There was the gentleman who complained about soil not coming out. I found that using a good pre-stain treatment and scrubbing it in worked perfectly. I knew that the machine was working when I emptied the first wash cycle. It had clearly done its job as I saw dirty water coming out. It uses a great deal less water than a normal washer and just a tiny amount of detergent. When you couple this with the savings in time money it makes this a prudent purchase. I was not happy with the directions on how to assemble this machine however after this novice was able to figure it out in a few minutes and after that it was a snap to put it together.
