Product review (4 stars): This washer/dryer combo is great for anyone in an apartment
We bought this machine a few weeks ago after moving into a new place that did not have a washer/dryer hook-up. After our first trip to the laundromat where we spent 30 bucks, we realized we wanted to have our own machine in our own home. This washer/dryer combo is great for anyone in an apartment, any place where space is tight, or going to the laundromat is not ideal. It does require more time and effort, but for anyone who doesnt mind, its easy to use, its small, and gets the job done.

User Friendliness:
This machine is simple and easy to use. There isn't much to it, as there are only a few settings.  The instruction manual is translated poorly, but from the simplicity of the machine and watching a video online, we figured it out without any problems. We found that filling a bucket with water and pouring it into the washer is quick and most effective (the hose that came with it didn't fit any of our faucets.) Using a bucket also allows you more control over the amount of water and the temperature. It is definitely more hands-on than a fully automatic machine, though. After washing a load, you have to drain the water and then refill it to rinse. While it is more work, we like that we can monitor how clean the clothes are getting. It also makes for a great work-out!

Size:
The size of this machine is smaller than what most Americans might be used to in a washer. Don't let that fool you! While it is necessary to be mindful of how much you put in one load, it handles a decent amount of material. I have been able to wash three pairs of yoga pants with four or five shirts and it worked fine. The spin dry doesnt hold as much as the washer, so you do have to portion out your load when you transfer to the dryer. It might be small, but that means its also light-weight. This makes it easy to move when we need it. We are able to lift the whole thing and place it in our bathtub. Doing so gives us quick access to a faucet and allows us to drain straight into the bathtub. When were done with it, we just tuck it back into a corner of our bathroom where its out of the way.

Getting the job done:
This machine does what its supposed to do: it gets your clothes clean. You can actually see the dirt and grime coming out as its washing. Sometimes we do another rinse cycle if the water is particularly dirty, but we know whats being washed is getting clean. Its also fairly quick, with a ten minute average wash cycle time. The spin dry is a little different if you're used to a dryer that uses heat. Your clothes, or whatever you're washing, will not come out 100% dry. On the flip-side, the spin dry does get most of the water out, to where it only feels slightly dampthis is after a five-minute spin cycle! Weve been able to hang up our clothes with a fan blowing on them and they were dry within an hour.
