Product review (1 stars): If you don't get dirty, these machine is probably good
If you don't get dirty, these machine is probably good. However, we do, and play in the mud alot. The dirt didn't come out in the wash--but in the drier. I now wash really dirty clothes in a separate washer, and use this for basically kitchen towels, sheets and "street clothes."

The machine runs a long time, and it basically just beats the clothes around in dirty water for a very long time. If you are off the grid, this machine is very low amp and I have friends who were washing by hand or, using a generator that love this machine. But I did not find that it got my normal "out in the Yard" work cloths clean.
