Product review (4 stars): Works well but need to watch for tangled clothes, still worth the money.
It works well, does a good job at cleaning. The only problem is that if I wash several pants and shirts together, they get tangled up into a chunk during wash cycle. Then when it gets to spin dry cycle, that chunk cannot spread out to balance the centrifugal force of the machine spinning. This results in the machine shaking violently and shutting itself down, I guess as protective mechanism. I simply pull the clothes apart to untangle them before starting the machine again. It will continue from where it stops earlier for the rest of the wash without any further problem. This is an unfortunate shortcoming. But it's still worth buying. With this washer, I can do my work at home while doing laundry at the same time instead of having to go to laundry store. I just try to avoid washing items with long pants/sleeves together. If I have to, I would expect having to untangle them in the middle of the wash every time.
