Product review (4 stars): Great, efficient little washing machine for apartment dwellers
If you live in an apartment and lack a washing machine, and are willing to do some labour to get clean clothes, this machine will do it for you.  You will need a drying rack of some kind, right off the bat.  You must do small loads, and use very little soap.  And frankly, it's easier to fill the wash tub with a bucket from the bathtub spigot than trying to hook the tiny plastic hose to the sink (and then stand there to hold it because it won't stay on by itself).  But this thing really does get clothes clean.  It's a few steps up from Victorian technology with dollys and mangles, but the principle is the same.  The spin cycle is efficient and most clothes are dry by the next day.  (Denims can take longer, as can any heavy fabric.)  It can handle a set of queen sheets, and it can handle full-sized bath towels.  The trick really is in load size.  This isn't a fancy HE front-loader that you can dump a week's worth of washing into and let it go.  We generally stick with a pair of denims, a handful of shirts, and a handful of socks/underwear/etc for each load.  That keeps it balanced, and a wash cycle of 9-12 minutes gets things properly clean.  Sometimes, lint is an issue, but a good shake-out of dry clothes and keeping a lint roller about solves that issue.  It uses less resources than a regular washing machine, and when we're done, we hang our clothes on a drying rack and push the Panda back into our bathroom linen closet.  It's not perfect, but it's far better than going to a laundromat or hiking up and down stairs to our apartment complex basement to pay $2.00 for a wash and $3.00 for a dry, and in the summertime, I appreciate not having to run a dryer in my apartment.  Frankly, I think this thing is more environmentally friendly as well.  Like I said, it's not perfect and you do have to do some labour with it yourself -- it isn't a hands-off process.  But it gets the job done efficiently, and our clothes come out clean every time.
