Product review (3 stars): OK unit
It get's clothes pretty clean. I definitely suggest some sort of spin dryer. I purchased the Nina Soft Spin dryer with it and it gets my clothes really clean. You do still have to pretreat your stained clothes and it doesn't handle heavy clothes very easily. The suction cups are worthless for stability. It wouldn't quite reach the faucet in my tub for filling. Luckily I have a vintage cast iron sink that has the attached counters so everything drains in the sink if it spills. It is quite messy. I feel the base isn't quite sturdy enough. and I made the mistake of trying to move it with water in it and it started falling apart. For the price I can't complain. I wash my clothes in this, spin them in my Nina, then rinse in this, and spin one more time in my Nina. I'd say for one load, factoring fill time, drain time, spin time, and the time it takes to set up it takes about 20 minutes, which is still head's and shoulders above a standard washer. This can handle about 2 towels, or 3 pairs sweats and 2 shirts. I've done laundry with washboard and bucket before so this is so much easier!
