Product review (3 stars): Clean great, but the unit leaks
Let me start by noting that I've had this since April 2016 and this cleans VERY WELL. I wash pretty much everything except for towels and blankets (because of weight and dry time), and I noticed right away that my clothes are cleaner with the Panda. You will have to utilize some of grandma's methods for stain treatment before washing, but I think that's necessary for a regular washer as well. Some things I learned that might be helpful to someone else:

-You can use fabric softener. Add it with your soap and water before adding your clothes. Clothes feel soft, even after rinsing!
-The hoses don't fit any of my water fixtures. I just fill it with a pot lol
-You can use hot water in this unit (white whites!)

The reason for the -2 stars is the construction. As other reviews mention, the unit might start leaking. Mine started to leak within the first 2-3 weeks. It's VERY difficult to take this apart, as you basically have to remove the entire base of plastic. I could return it, and I might (I purchased the extended warranty), but I also don't want it to be thrown away because the cleaning part of it works very well. I wash anywhere between 2-4 loads a week, and that's why I've kept it. I keep it in the tub when I wash and place a mat underneath it when it's not in use.

I'd rather sell it to someone who is handy and wants to try to take it apart themselves vs. returning it, and maybe purchase a different unit that is easier to take apart juuuust in case it starts to leak, or a part needs to be replaced. Overall, I'm happy I have it, but I'll pay attention to the construction should I ever need to purchase a new unit.
