Product review (5 stars): This little workhorse outshines my HE machine
I love this little beast! I have a laundry room in our finished basement, but wanted something small for the first floor to wash small loads that I have been doing by hand. I rarely use my big machine or dryer any longer because even with our household if 6, this takes care of everything better than our full sized machine. I have even taught our 4 young boys to use it and we will be purchasing a second for the second floor bathroom. They each have their own drying racks in their bedrooms that are folded away when not in use. My laundry days have become so much easier. Everyone gets their own day of the week to do their laundry and can have it done in an hour. We are saving so much money with this machine.
It doesn't wear out the clothes like our HE machine does. We reuse our wash water for 2 to 3 loads, so that saves on water. We hardly ever use the dryer anymore, huge electric savings there. And it saves tons of time. We put shirts right on the hangers to dry and don't have to mess with them again.
The spin dryer gets rid of so much water that most things are dry in an hour. I'm so very impressed.  I'm just hoping it lasts. Even if it only lasts 6 months, it will more than paid for itself in savings of both time and money.
The biggest reason that I love our portable washing machine is because it actually gets things clean, I mean totally clean.
