Product review (4 stars): Della Mini Portable Washing Machine Spin Wash...
Wash machines come in two types, fully automatic(with spin cycle)and semiautomatic(no spin cycle)like this one. This does a good job of washing but is a lot more work than a conventional fully automatic wash machine. A separate spin dryer like the Nina Soft is a must in my opinion. Well, on to the review.

Packaging -
 It came in a factory box with wash machine clearly written on the sides. It has protection on the top and bottom but there is no  protection on the sides. This is the reason for the reports of broken hoses from other reviewers. This is an issue that should be addressed.

Warranty/User manual -
 This has a very basic user manual that does not have any warranty or contact info from the manufacturer. You have 30 days from amazon and whatever the seller offers. This needs to be put in the product description. With products like this an extended warranty is worth the few dollars if it fails 6 months from now.

Features -
 The product description is also lacking in an accurate list of features so here it is.

Wash cycle - A simple timer that allows you to set the wash time from 1-15 minutes. You only need around a tablespoon of soap per large load. Unless your clothes are really dirty you only need a 6-8 min wash cycle to get your clothes clean. Don't overload it, your clothes need to freely "turn" as it agitates. The people that say this washer is hard on your clothes must be overloading it. It isn't hard on my clothes and doesn't tie my clothes into knots, though I would recommend a laundry wash bag for delicates.
 That being said, the impeller speed does seem to be faster than it needs to be. Maybe the Chinese engineers could give us a speed setting for the motor in the future.

Normal or Gentle Agitation - The impeller turns one way,stops, and then turns the other way to agitate the clothes. What the Gentle setting does is shorten the spin time, it doesn't actually slow the impeller speed. This is a nice option that I use a lot because the impeller speed is quite aggressive.

Drain Pump - This unit has a drain pump that works well. I can't imagine putting this on a counter for a gravity drain unless you have a very large, sturdy countertop. Maybe a walk-in shower or very sturdy stand would work for the gravity drain models into the bathtub, etc.

Lint Filter - This little thing does work but the user manual doesn't tell you how to remove it to clean. It is very easy, just put your finger on top and to the back of the lint filter. Then gently press down and tilt the filter out of its notch. Turn the filter inside out to clean and reinsert it top up(it's marked)the same way you removed it.

 All in all it seems to be good little machine that gets your clothes clean if you use it right. The hoses are pretty cheap looking and I question the longevity of them and the machine in general, but if you don't overload it it will hopefully last a while.
 A fully automatic washer is much better but if this type of machine is what you are looking for, you probably won't get much better than this.

 Because of the incomplete/inaccurate product description and poor packaging I took off a star.
