Product review (4 stars): Great for use in a an apt setting
Great for use in a an apt setting. Got this because I was tired of going the laundry mat and spending $40 every week.  This little machine has saved me about $30 per week, that's $120 per mth. I can wash sheets, towels, jeans, etc.  I only go to the laundry mat to do my heavy duty washing now and I only go to the laundry every 2 - 3 wks to dry my sheets, towels, etc.  Otherwise,  I wash my child's uniforms and everything else using this little 'miracle'.  As with every purchase, there are pros and cons.  You just have to make sure you have the machine placed on a higher surface level than where it will be draining.  I got some wood pallets from Home Depot and let the water drain in my bath tub...problem solved.  I have one of those extender hose on my shower head to make filling up the machine faster (no lifting).  I can spend $20 drying my clothes at the laundry mat, as needed for over a 2 mth period.  The smaller items of clothing dry in a few hours after spinning.....and the machine washes clean!
