It has been a major game changer for me.  I have gone from hand washing most of our clothes, mainly because the laundry room at our apartment complex is outside and over 1/4 mile walk each way.  Good exercise, yes, but not convenient especially during winter.  The alternative is the laundry mat, and with a disabled husband also not very convenient.

My only regret, is that I had invested in this sooner.

I live in a tiny space, housing this machine proved to be a little more problematic than I had first thought.  Our bathroom is small, as is our kitchen, so for now, although not ideal, it is living in my bath tub, and being lifted out when we shower.  A pain yes, but it beats the alternative.  The instructions state to place it on a flat surface and that a bathroom is not the best area.  Ours is actually the best surface in the apartment.

It functions really well in there, keep in mind, this makes around the same amount of noise as a regular washing machine, I would assume less if on a solid surface, I was going to place it on an anti fatigue mat to dull that even more.

Another thing to keep in mind, this is not a fully automated washing machine.  There are intake nozzles to fit your water hose to so you can fill with water for washing and spin drying.  I have not used this option as our taps are too big, I have a hand held shower head, I simply slip this into the basin and let it fill, I todder off and do a couple other chores and come back and it is ready to go.

The first thing I do is add my detergent and additives.  I have used, purex crystals, unstopables, vinegar, both powered and liquid laundry detergent in it without any problem.  The only item I have not used is bleach, the instructions, which are badly translated, from what I can kind of grasp, tell you to avoid using it.  It also states not to use water hotter than 50 degrees.  I have been using warm water on a number of my loads without a hitch.

I strongly recommend turning your clothing items inside down, the instructions also recommend doing this, it is a wise choice, you will end up with some sediment especially on dark clothing.  Once I have washed my clothing for the desired amount of time, I drain the water, refill the tub and wash them again.  There is a drainage setting on the wash knob, the pump will drain your water for you.  Both the spin dry and the washing basin drain into the same outlet.

The wash tub will also work with the lid up, after the second drain I always rinse the wash tub out as there are always particles in the bottom.  I also do not want stale water being left behind.  The washing basin holds quite a lot of laundry, I have not filled it fully, only about half way as I do not want to over tax it.  I have attached pictures of some load sizes I did.  I washed 2 king size fitted sheets and pillow cases in one load.

You have to separate your load into smaller spin loads, making sure when you place them in the spin basin that you get them as centered as possible, there is a plastic guard that you place on top and push down as best you can, if you do not get this pushed down enough you will hear it clunking against the sides of the machine making one heck of a racket.  Simply open the lids and do it again.  I have found most items only require a minute or two to spin and come out exceptionally dry.  The spin cycle will not work with the lid up.

You can use both the wash and spin basins at the same time.  The machine is also relatively light weight, I can lift it and move/slide it.

I hang all of my items on hangers over the shower curtain rod and by the next morning it is all dry.  It is wonderful!

So to break it down

I put in detergent, additives
fill with water
add clothes
wash for around 6 minutes and then empty.
refill and wash for another 3 - 6 minutes

then put clothes in the spin
run fresh water over them
spin in shifts for between 1 - 3 mins
empty the wash basin and rinse out.
you are done.

This machine is more hands on, but it really does not take that long, I have been doing two loads a day since it arrived, I do those in between my other household chores and barely notice it.

My only wish is that it perhaps had wheels on it to make it a little easier to move.

I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for my review
