Product review (4 stars): Gr8 buy for families with kids!
Hi, I stay in an apartment of around 400 houses with two laundromat, yikes! With a toddler @ home and a new baby on the way, I was a mum running out of options. After endless googling, I chanced upon the egg portable washing machine on amazon. Needless to say the product had just been introduced and I had hardly any reviews to fall back on, positive or otherwise. Desperation drove me to cross my fingers and just go ahead and order one. I did. It arrived on time.

The biggest disadvantage I faced was that the single video posted on YouTube consisted of a kid little more than a toddler explaining how the machine runs. I wish the parents had taken the time instead. Still, something was better than nothing. It had given me a fairly good idea of how the machine washed the clothes during the cycle. The plumbing however for the inlet hose, posed the greatest challenge. The bathrooms in my house have sinks with modern flat faucets that aerate the water and the silly plastic spanner that comes with the machine is just a joke. The faucets just wouldn't come out with the spanner.  This left only my kitchen faucet as an option, as it's the only with the narrow old-fashioned arced pipe. But the lack of space posed a problem.

The machine therefore sat as a dead investment in its carton for almost a week. I had written it off as the worst 120 dollars I had ever spent when my husband suggested to install it on the kitchen platform even though it would eat up precious space.

With no options left we did just that.

Having said that, after five months of using it,I am really happy to say that my Eco egg machine is one of the best buys I have ever made. I would have given it five stars if it would have worked in my bathroom sink/tub faucets. The machine is quiet, powerful and above all a very hygienic way to clean my kids clothes. I can even wash mine and my hubby's clothes in an emergency. Leave out the jeans,, bath towels and bed sheets and u can pretty much wash everything else. The feeling of removing your kids clean and hygienic clothes from their very own personal machine is like none other. Just wash the lint filter regularly and you will never have any cause to regret buying this machine.

All in all, a great buy!!
