Product review (5 stars): Great machine
My husband I live on a homestead where we harvest rain water then store it in large tanks. We had older full size washer that we could fill using water hose to do our wash. The washer was housed in an outbuilding. I purchased this small costway  washer last winter to use inside our home because we winterized the big washer for the winter. I sat it in the walk in shower and filled it using the detachable shower head. I used a tub for rinse water. I was amazed at how well it washed clothes. This summer the full size washer quit working. I purchased  manual wringers and agitator and practically destroyed my shoulder trying to use those darn wringers. We were unsuccessful at finding another full size machine similar to the one we had so I resorted to using the little costway machine to do laundry. I sat it on the deck for rest of summer and it did a wonderful job washing our clothes,and trust me, some of those clothes were filthy from the many farm chores we do. So now I am purchasing another costway machine just to have on hand if the other one tears up. It uses a fraction of the water and electricity a big machine uses and it spins the clothes dry. I store it under my kitchen table until I need it. I can let clothes soak in it for as long as I need to and I can reset the timer on heavily soiled loads. This is perfect for rv. or off grid.
