Product review (3 stars): Eratic but efficient spinner
I am of divided mind about this spinner and probably would have given it three and a half stars. It does spin the clothes and much of the water comes out of them but it is an eratic machine and needs constant attention. Also I have no idea what they mean about removing the locking mechanism. I saw nothing on mine that could be removed.

First caveat DO NOT put this machine on any table, stool or other item which can move. It must either be on the ground or a counter top or something anchored to the wall because when it shakes it is like a force 5 earthquake.

Second caveat DO NOT leave it unattended just because it seems to be quiet and not doing much. After a certain point it revs up and all hell breaks loose. Even on the countertop I felt the need to steady it to make sure that it didn't fall off.

In my experience the shaking was not at the beginning of the cycle. I started it at three minutes. When it got down below the two minute mark it went into overdrive.  During this super part of the cycle small rivulets of water did leak from the side of the machine but generally most of the water went out the hose.

Now I was using it with towels which were sopping wet. I do not know if it would work differently with regular clothing. As for size I just managed to fit one bath towel in it and that not a very fluffy one. In my opinion there is NO WAY you could manage to ram a sheet into it, not even a twin size one much less queen. If you try to overload it the door won't close and it won't operate.

I can't understand how people can talk about adjusting the load as if this were a washing machine. This is the size of a large bucket. There ain't no room for adjusting the load. You can only do a small amount at a time. The directions say two pairs of jeans but I find it hard to believe you could fit that much into it.

Also there is nearly nothing in terms of operating or care instructions and only a tiny two page folio that tells you anything about it at all.

So while it does what it is supposed to do it has its limits and drawbacks. Maybe as I work with it more I will find better ways to get around those but anyone buying one should be aware of them.
