Product review (5 stars): I rarely write reviews but this deserves one, and every star that goes with it.
I live in an apartment building with 12 units and a small pay laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers that closes at 7pm. On top of that, one of the washers has been broken for ages. Repair the washer? Nah, just raise the price on the one working washer that 12 families share! Landlord logic. But I'm sure you're more interested in the product than my problems so....

I bought this thinking I could use it to do quick, small loads to at least have clean clothes regularly. It is amazing. You have to be careful not to overfill it or it won't spin fully, but since it's transparent and you can lift the lid while it's still going, this is an easy thing to check on/correct. So far it's cleaned everything from delicates, t-shirts, jeans, to bath towels thoroughly and quickly. I notice no difference between using this and the industrial washer in my building except I can use this in my underwear at midnight.

The best part is it even gets my boyfriend's gross, sweaty socks thoroughly cleaned, soft, and white again.

My process to get my clothes just as clean as a standard washer:

1. Fill with water and dirty clothes
2. Add detergent, wash
3. Drain, refill
4. If really dirty clothing, repeat step 2
5. Repeat step 3, add fabric softener
6. Check if clothes still feel a little soapy (this sometimes happens if you use too much soap) if so, another rinse cycle. If not, you're done.

The only con is if you have a t-shirt or something with a lose string, the washer will take it and run with it. This typically happens in old t-shirts.

I bought this cart to keep it on to wheel from where I store my laundry stuff to the bathroom or kitchen when I do laundry. It fits perfectly on top, you can keep other laundry supplies/small appliances on it, and wheels easily.

I also bought this spinner to dry the clothes, it doesn't heat dry them but spins enough water out that they're practically dry and can hang dry just fine.

I also have this that I'll use after the spinner if dry clothes are a must as soon as possible, but don't use it too often to save on electricity.
