Product review (5 stars): Small but POWERFUL. LOVE IT!!!
I just washed my first loads in my Panda. I live in an apartment without hookups. The complex does have laundry machines, but laundry was costing us around $126 a month. In two months, this little guy will pay for himself. I did use these suggestions from other reviewers:

--Detergent pods diluted with 6 cups of water (I already had the pods. I put the mix in spray bottle to make it easier).
--Laundry bags (socks do become a mess of tangles)
--Wash without detergent the first round (I was AMAZED to see how much detergent residue and general filth was pulled out of "clean clothes").
--Fill above the lint trap (the lint trap works fine as long as you fill up the tank a wee bit past the filter).
--Set on an upturned laundry basket/plastic tote and fill with a hand-shower and drain in the tub (another person's review suggested this and it works great for me. My bathroom is too small to keep it in there permanently). Though, I might beg a buddy into hooking it up in the kitchen for me.

Does it smell?

There's a little off-gassing, but it was nothing worse than how my microwave smelled when I bought it.

How much does it hold?

About half of the size of a load for a regular size (not jumbo or oversized) washer. A drawer full of clothes. An 11 year old's clothes for the day (including jacket). ONE pair of work pants (because they're nasty, not because it wouldn't fit two). A dress and undergarments for a full-figured woman. More than I expected.  I haven't tried our oversized towels yet. I do believe it will do one at a time, but I'm considering donating the oversized towels and picking up some smaller, lighter weight ones. A king size sheet and two pillow cases.

How long does it take?

All loads, except the nasty work pants and the socks that needed bleaching, were done in 5 minutes of wash time, 5 minutes of rinse time, and 5 minutes of spin time. Expect each load to take 20 minutes or less to do. It's not "set it and forget it", but it is pretty close.

How much does it weigh?

About 25-30 lbs. It's totally "liftable". If you can pick up a big bag of dog food, you can pick up this little guy. I got him in an out of the tub easily, and I'm not a younger lady anymore.

How big is it?

The size of a large plastic tote. About 2-2 1/2 foot square.

What are you going to name it?

I'm thinking of naming mine Wilf. Wilf the Butler.

What kind of detergent do you use?

Homemade detergents would work GREAT in this machine. That's what I'll be using after I run out of pods. The machine specifies high-efficiency (or low foam) detergents. I used regular, diluted detergent that I spritzed in with a spray bottle. Pre-diluting the soap made it work just fine.

How strong is it?

AMAZINGLY STRONG! I was surprised by how forcefully it agitated. It is much more powerful than a typical laundry machine, which is why I guess it takes less time to wash.

How much water does it use?

I think, and this is just a guess, that I used about five gallons per load (soak, bleach, rinse, spin). Probably less on the loads I didn't pre-bleach or need extra rinsing for. USE LESS SOAP AND YOU'LL USE LESS WATER. Next time around I'll probably wash more than one load in the same water, then rinse separately. Remember, more soap doesn't always mean "more clean". Soap residue is a big cause of "dingy" clothes.

How dry do the clothes get?

I think they were quite a bit dryer than clothes are when I pull them out of a regular washer. I pinned them up on my dryer rack, pointed a fan at them, and in 45 minutes they were dry (put into perspective, the apartment community's dryers take 60 minutes and returns damp clothes).

Is it worth it?

If Wilf lives past two months, he'll have paid for himself. If he makes it a whole year, Wilf will put about a thousand dollars back in my pocket. So yes, definately worth it.
