Product review (5 stars): ... a year and I have to say I am amazed with it
I've had this product now for almost a year and I have to say I am amazed with it. It cleans my clothes better than anything. I use an oxy laundry detergent but just a dab because you don't want anything too sudsy. I usually use cold to temperate water unless it's socks and undies then I let them wash, sit for 5 mins and wash again. Sparkling white. The washing cycle agitates wonderfully and the spin cycle almost completely dries the clothes. They're barely damp. I turn on my fan and they are dry in a half an hour. I have to put the machine up on a small table that's about the same height as my bathtub because there's no pump to get the water out of the machine, it drains via gravity. I thought about buying a small pool pump but for now it's fine. I've saved 30 dollars a week not going to the laundromat anymore and it's convenient and easy to use. I let it dry after I'm done (keeping the lids open) and I spray it with lysol because I don't want mold to grow on it. Also, keep the lint filter clean after every wash before you rinse so you don't get the fuzz on the clothes in the rinse cycle.  I use my long hose hand held shower head to fill it but it has leads for a small hose. My sink would work but it doesn't come apart to attach a hose. I've never had a leak with this item and I did buy a warranty just in case. But so far all is great!!!!! I've recommended this to other people as well.
