Product review (4 stars): Love the SPINNER, hate the lint & flimsy plastic fill hose
Have a similar, but much larger, Danby washer/spinner, but the drain hose kept cracking, and now the plastic piece leading to drain hose cracked too. We got it used from my step-mom, so the price was right.
Researched smaller models that could be used in my tub. I live in an upstairs apartment, and needed to be able to move it around easily, in & out of our bath as needed by my husband, daughter, and I. This fits the bill.
We've been using this machine for at least a dozen loads since we got last night. Would appreciate a Lint Trap and a LONGER, STURDY, fill hose. Also, there is no difference between the two wash settings. Would be lovely if the gentle cycle worked.
I've noticed many reviewers have an issue with the spinner. As long as the items are evenly distributed and balanced, you can fill it to the top. Just need to leave enough room to be able to get the spin guard in & out. I lay a piece in press it flat, repeat until full. That's what we did in the much larger Danby, and it's easier in this bitty thing. Items that are "moisture wicking" are almost ready to wear after the spin, other items are dry soon enough on hangers on the extra tension rod over our tub.
