Product review (3 stars): Decent countertop washer, but with a couple of drawbacks
There are both pluses and minuses for the Panda.

On the plus side: It actually holds of a lot (I wash dishcloths/cleaning cloths in it); it's got a separate spin function, which does a nice job; and once you figure out the instructions, it's easy to use. There's also a lint catcher, which is fairly easy to unscrew and clean out.

There are a few minuses: First, the instructions are non-intuitive and unclear.  For example, they'll say, "drain the washer," but won't explain until two pages later HOW to drain it.  If you've used a machine like this before, I suppose it'd be obvious, but as a first-time user, I kept making notes and drawing arrows to show how the process related to the instruction to do something. Second: the hose worked well the first few times I used it, but the connection to the faucet is very fragile, and now I have to hold it in place when I fill the washer, or it comes unattached.  (If it comes unattached while I'm washing something, I'm done with the Panda). Additionally, the marker for the timer is indistinguishable from the other markers, which makes it really tough to figure out both how much time you've set it for, and whether it's the cycle is finished or merely pausing. It also doesn't drain fully. I'd say it drains 98.5% of the water, but that 1.5% is enough that you have to let it air dry between washes. This is really annoying when it doesn't fully drain soapy water; you have to remove everything and keep re-filling with clean water and emptying it out until the soap is (mostly) drained.

The pluses and the minuses don't quite even out, and I use it only once a month or so; if you're planning to use it frequently, you're going to be really annoyed.  For once-a-month use, though, it's a decent machine (though the savings from not taking dishcloths to the coin-op has probably been offset by the increase in my water bill).  I'd be happier with it if I'd paid about $30.00 less for it.
