Product review (5 stars): Man... this thing is the Berries!
This is a great little machine.  I've been using mine for a month.  There's a learning curve.  You'll end up putting a piece of tape on the front of it to indicate when to stop filling it to prevent splash out, etc.  There are no molded lines on it to help you out with fill-level.  It's really done a great job on everything I've used it for.  Highly recommend it.  Soap usage goes to near zero.  I expect my jug of liquid detergent to last me the year.  No Kidding. After deciding it's a winner, this month I'm buying a spinner dryer (159.00 here at Amazon) and I'm leaving the laundro-mat in my rear view mirror.  Nice.  BTW I can do 3 pair of jeans in it at a time.  5 shirts at a time.  It's larger than you might think.
