Product review (4 stars): Recommend to fellow apartment dwellers
This washer is a lot bigger than I expected so the set up that I have is a bit awkward (it's in my already-very-tiny-bathroom).  Other than that, it washes well and the spinner wrings out the water to where my clothes are nearly dry (I would say about 75-80% dry).  This does have a built in pump to help drain the water out and it's pretty fast.  I do still use my apartment complex's laundry room for the dryer, but at least I don't have to dry a load at such high heat for a full hour; 30-45mins seems to be adequate depending what I'm drying.

What I don't like is that the inlet hoses are too short for the set up that I was hoping to create and the plastic used to build the wash basin doesn't feel like it can hold a full 9kg (or 19 lbs) of laundry.  Therefore, I stick with doing medium size loads.

Other than that, I recommend this to anyone who lives in an apartment or condo who's looking for an alternative to a laundromat or are tired of having to wait their turn for a machine in their community laundry room.
