Product review (4 stars): Very efficient
Great little gadget that saves me a lot of trips up and down stairs, since I can wash everything except the blankets in it.
Several people have complained there is no "spin cycle".  This is true.  But there is a Drain function that suctions the water out.  Run that a little longer than you think is absolutely necessary and things come out just barely damp.  I did a load with a pullover and a thick fluffy hand towel and was amazed how nearly dry they were when I pulled them out.  I'd washed a similar towel a few weeks earlier and wrung it out by hand, and it took more than a day to dry when hung outdoors; the load done in the machine was dry when I brought it in after dinner.
I've recommended it to an elderly friend who has trouble with stairs and also runs out of quarters.  No quarters needed to run this one -- a couple months and it's paid for itself.
EDITED TO TAKE AWAY ONE STAR.  After using it for a few months, I noticed the bathroom carpet was saturated after using it.  The next time, I put it on a plastic storage bin lid and within a minute after filling it, there was at least a cup of water that had leaked out on the side with the drain hose.  I pulled on the hose and it seemed to be firmly attached, so I'll get some waterproof caulk and see if that solves the problem.
