Product review (5 stars): No more laundry mat! :)
Just received this item and it is amazing!! Because of reviews I have read I use a medium size mesh bag in the washer side so my clothes don't get tangles and they haven't so far! :) This thing is a cinch if you follow the directions properly.

So, I fill my washing tub halfway to the lint filter (not the top!), add my Tide pod, let it desolve, then add my mesh bag of clothes, add more water up to an inch below the top of the lint filter, then close the lid, select wash, and pick a time on the wash timer (based on material type with more info in directions).

Make sure the draining tube is in the sink or bathtub when you select drain!

Rinsing is easy, same as washing except no soap! I like to add water to the washer side and drain it without any clothing first so clear any dirt or grime that may be left inside, then add my mesh bag and start the rinse cycle after adding the water.

The dryer section helps cut down the hanging time by A LOT for drying the clothes but does not completely dry them. The plastic piece for the dryer is important! Make sure it's always in there on the top.

The directions were unclear about steps 5 & 6 for DRYING being AFTER the drying timer was done. Do NOT take the plastic piece out of the dryer until your clothes are done "drying".

No more laundry mat trips!
