Product review (5 stars): I think this is my favorite Amazon purchase of all time
I think this is my favorite Amazon purchase of all time. Being in San Francisco, I live in an older apartment without a laundry facility. Love my building, but adjusting to life without a washer was difficult.

I have been using this thing OVER A YEAR now and it's still running beautifully without any hiccups. I run it for about 7 cycles a week too, but it's held up well. I work an office job and don't usually need more than a weekly "refresher" for my clothes. I soak them in laundry detergent in a container in my bathtub and then rinse them and spin them dry. I put it in the tub as it can really move around and the hose can drip water everywhere if you're not careful. This thing gets my clothes so dry! They still need to be hung and such, but it's impressive just how much water it gets out. (I put them in dripping wet) balancing can be a little tricky but you get the hang of it. Like other users I've noticed filling it fuller not only makes doing laundry take less time but also seems to help with balancing. On top of it all, I'm also noticing my clothes are lasting so much longer this way.

So grateful I never have to lug a bag of my wet clothes up flights of stairs ever again!

UPDATE: after nearly two years, the lid came unhinged and I had to replace the unit. Unfortunately amazon no longer sells this, but it is available elsewhere online. So happy I found this!
