Product review (5 stars): Love, Love, Love it!
Got tired of doing laundry by hand between trips to the laundry so deIcided to purchase a small machine for the house.  Opted for the model with the water pump to empty.  I really love this system.  I wish the drain pump worked better (if there is only a small amount of water left, it doesn't push the water out on its own.  I have to use like a gravity hose to get it started, but then it pumps properly).  Other than the pump issue, this machine does an excellent cleaning job.  I usually wash clothes in cold water and I love that I can let it agitate for only a few minutes and then leave it to soak for a bit before I give a last little agitation and drain.  The laundry is cleaner than it gets at the coin laundry and it's cheaper too!.  Except for large items like blankets and towels, we are now doing all of our laundry at home!
