Product review (4 stars): This is a great little unit for the price
This is a great little unit for the price.  And this was the first time I've used anything of this class, so this is a review for anyone who's used to using a normal washer and dryer and getting this for other purposes, like using in a studio room where you don't have connections.

First let me mention the function of this is not fully automatic.  You have to add your clothes, then add your water.  I used a very small amount of laundry detergent.  Set it for 15 minutes and it did agitation cycles for 15 minutes.  Then you have to select drain and drain all the water.  Next you have to refill the tub with fresh water to do the rinse.  Set it for another 15 minutes, then drain that water.  Then you can transfer your laundry to the spin dryer.  The spin dryer is essentially just the spin cycle on a larger washing machine.  So, this is NOT REALLY a dryer, just a spin cycle.  Your clothes will be close to dry and can be hung or, as I chose to do, get a warm air drying rack.  I got a decent one for $84 that has hangers and a cloth housing that directs all the warm air through the laundry.

Bottom line is that this unit is great and does its job, but still requires your involvement and time.  You can't just throw laundry in and come back to clean laundry.  On a positive note, I have exceptional control on how the cycles work and how many times I want to rinse my clothes and how exact I want my water temp, etc. This unit can manage for 1 person, not a family.
