Product review (5 stars): Love that it doesn't gobble down quarters.
I love this thing. Really like being able to do my laundry at home, not having to feed tons of quarters into the machines week after week. That and having to get tons of quarters all the time, ours doesn't have a change machine.

I wash most things in this. Blankets, small rugs, and big winter coats are a bit too big but most stuff is fine. Had no difficulty with jeans shirts or sweaters, also most coats just not the big heavy winter ones. You can usually tell, it'll not fit or take up too much room. See if it spins okay, if not, yank it out.

I'm still mastering rinsing, getting all the suds out, but that's me not the washer. I wish it had a slow gentle washer speed setting, but for the price I guess I can't complain. You can always hand wash in if needed, just use the tub not the agitator.

The spinner gets things surprisingly dry, not totally but quite well in a short time. Way betting than hand wringing. I think I have to watch with over washing everything, but it's done a good job on everything I've put in it. Anything really challenging, soaking overnight is a handy option. Plus it's great not to have sinks tied up with hand washes.

Many times less is a good rule of thumb when loading either wash or spin. But what can you do - when you got a bunch of laundry, it's normal to want to plow through it as quickly as possible. Regardless of how it goes in actual application, less in either tub seems to go more easily if you don't mind the extra load or two.

Lint has been okay for me but it helps if I keep in mind I'm using a really really small tub. Sort the high lint stuff and wash it separately, or use laundry bags - but a small tub or small wash space seems to magnify / exaggerate any lint plagued clothing. I can toss anything in any combination into the big machines, no lint worries. If I just keep in mind it's a small tub and sort accordingly, the lint problem becomes much more a nonissue.

Anyhow I'm very happy with the purchase. Mine's working fine; and it's so fantastic not to have to haul out clothes off to the laundrymat in the middle of winter or way too humid summer. So great to be doing laundry at home again.
