Product review (3 stars): Works, but chews up clothing.
Bought this washer 2 weeks ago because 1 of the 2 laundromats in my small town has closed down and now the other one is closing, also ! I do not want to be asking friends if I can use their washer today, or not - and I have a tiny, tiny house, so no possibility of a hooked up washer/dryer set of any size.
 This does get clothes clean and it's as cute as a bug, but I give it only 3 stars because it chews my clothes up and the mesh bags that I bought don't help - they opened up during the first or second wash and won't stay closed, so they are pretty useless. It has pulled off buttons and shredded ( admittedly old ) washcloths and opened up hand sewn seams. I like to sew simple skirts and blouses, so alot of my summer clothes are hand made. I don't know what to do about this. A lot more hand wash, I guess - and at least the spinner is a marvel at getting the water out.

It's easy to use and quite quiet, as folks say, and it gets the clothes clean. But I wish it had a 'gentle' setting.

 I don't mind the extra work involved in exchange for the convenience of doing small loads whenever I like and I thank all the people on these reviews who tell us just how to manage it ! So many helpful reviews. I'll share what I found about the logistics.

 It is larger than I envisioned and is too tall to set up on the counter of my kitchen. Setting it up in my shower was the best solution for me, though I had to buy an extension cord. A 13 amp grounded cord works fine and does not get hot or show any other sign of trouble. I don't have a hand held shower head ( though I may get one, just for this) so I fill a large bucket in my kitchen sink, close to 2 gallons, and it takes 2 of these to fill the tub. Other people have talked about how much fits and the you tube vids are great, so I will only reinforce the advice of not too much soap !!!! You'll get a couple of towels and endless rinsing rinsing rinsing ! You'll only do that once ! In the shower, the gravity drain works fine and the machine is up on feet, so I don't think there is a need to put it in a tray. When I'm finished I tilt the machine to get a bit more water out and then wipe it out with a hand towel to dry it. I put it away with the lids all open for further drying and close them after a couple of hours, when I think of it.
 The only other issue is the lint - which I think is made worse by the roughness of the 'ride' - and thanks to these reviewers I knew to buy a floating lint trap. It catches a lot of lint, but is very noisy, crashing about in there and it knocked the famously useless built in lint trap cover off and chewed some teeth off of it ! I am going to try and rig it up to attach to the wall of the tub, or get one that hooks on there.

 I am seriously looking at the larger automatic Panda washer, since it takes up about the same footprint, can be placed where I have this one and can be used rolled up to the kitchen sink. I think I will invest in the small panda dryer, eventually, just to address fluff issues with towels and some knit clothing that is very wrinkled from the spinner. Not strictly needed, since the clothes are so close to dry when they come out of the spinner.
