Product review (4 stars): It came nicely packed in one box
UPD: AS EXPECTED, the spinner motor went out after a year of service. Never less, the little Panda performed amazingly all that time.

Bought this machine about 5 month ago, brand new. It came nicely packed in one box, no signs of water residue or damage. Plugged in, filled with water and started to do laundry the same hour it arrived and has been using it more or less every other day ever since.

Reason to buy:  newborn in the family, which lives in a tiny apt. in Brooklyn with no room to fit a standard size machine.

Appearance: cheap plastic with no squeaks or sharp chips. Nothing rattles inside.

Capacity: I'm an XL size hog and able to fit 1 of my Levi's denim shirt and 2 office style shirts at the same time. Or 2 denim pants, or all the baby's laundry she manages to dispatch in a week.

Pluses: relatively quiet, though tends to get louder after a cycle or two. Action is VIOLENT, tossing poor laundry left and right, washing away even toughest chit. Self water emptying is a huge plus. Dryer is amazing, spinning things to near-dry condition. Require a likkle drop of detergent compared to a Hercules downstairs in the basement.

Minuses: LINT IS A HUGE PROBLEM. Ye be warned mates, if you have "fluffy" goods to wash, I assure you that the lint will get EVERYWHERE - into the sink (use the fine mesh to catch it), into every crevasses of your load, and I'm yet to find a way to reduce the effect. Buy some extra lint rollers, trust me you'll need them all and they tend to finish right at the wrong moments. Some recommended a laundry mesh, me skeptical yarr. Power cord is short to reach an outlet high up, like mine in the light fixture on top of the mirror, so I've got a $0.99 extension in the nearby store. Better use the High Efficiency Turbo detergent, regular one produces a lot of foam and require extra rinse. No wheels so you have to carry it around.

Resume: for the money it is absolutely amazing little machine which will save you time and money and will wash up stuff just like it's "bigger brothers", a must for a tiny living spaces.
