Product review (3 stars): Must say that it did pay for its self
We used this washer for 13 months.  We made sure not to over load it, fill it too much with water, or spin it too fast.  They say that the max to fill it with is 2 to 3 jeans.  The most we did was 1 jeans with 4 shirts.  When turned at the correct rate, it did well.  The problems that we had...  It will shift or slide some.  The knob of the handle broke after 6 months.  The drum broke after 13 months.  The plastic that holds crome anchor pin to the drum broke away and will no longer support the drum.  The base has sharp edges that are able to cause cuts.  Don't ask my wife about that one...
