Product review (4 stars): so I do like this machine
I prefer this style of washer, so I do like this machine, but I lived in Belize Central America for several years and they have full size versions of this type of machine (different brands) that are much better.  The full size version felt durable and could handle washing most anything.  This machine is more delicate and doesn't handle as well as the full size.  I wish I could get the machine I had in Belize but I can't find it anywhere in the US or online.
