Product review (2 stars): The instructions I finally got with the package recommended a professional install it
The first instructions I got for installing the WashIt told me I could install it myself. The instructions I finally got with the package recommended a professional install it. He was crabby about the product's "Mickey Mouse" construction, which I ignored because I was so excited about the prospect of simplifying my laundering processes and saving water (we're in California). However, big questions arose immediately about use that the enclosed booklet left completely unanswered: 1) there is no on/off switch, a very strange design flaw; 2) when the device remains on, it emits a high-pitched noise, painful to some but to me, sounds like the device is sizzling; 3) we have to unplug the device every time we use it. If the switch on the bottom side is meant to be an off/on button, it doesn't work; 4) there is no product-supplied cap for the hot water inside the unit; 5) I registered the product twice online since receiving it July 29 and had an automatic response to let me know there'd be an acknowledgment in 1-2 business days. Still waiting. The first few loads of laundry came clean, almost dry and absolutely wrinkle-free. That has already diminished, with this morning's load very wet and questionable, as far as clean goes. Not getting vital questions about use answered and already seeing failure of function. Maybe it is too good to be true.
