Product review (5 stars): It's all that and more!
This machine arrived today. I've washed five small loads of clothing since I got home from work. I use my own (handmade) washing powder and vinegar for rinsing and softening. This machine is going to help spend less time at the laundry mats! I don't have to worry about other people's laundry odors from fragrance heavy laundry products imbedding in my clothing and aggravating my allergies. It did clean my clothing very well. Yes, there's time involved but there would be the time involved if I could use my bigger washing machine, which broke last year. Because the spin dryer nearly dries the clothing, it takes less time in my dryer. In fact, I washed three loads and dried them all at once and in less time than I did when I washed my clothes in the big washer.

The pros:
The wash cycle was easily set.
The drain did work very well. I set the machine in the bathtub and it didn't have a problem draining.
The spin dryer has that handy little plastic "balancer" that actually helps keep the loads balanced.

The cons:
The fill hose does not fit my tub facet or my bathroom sink facet. But I used a small bucket to fill up the washer easily enough.
It does require more attention than you would give if you had a full-sized washer or had to go to a laundry mat but that's the trade-off.

What I learned:
I could wash two pairs of my husband's jeans easily without it slogging away. That meant I could also wash five of my tops or two pairs of my jeans and two tops. I also washed my lingerie in a mesh bag along with my socks. I also learned that it does help to use the plastic balancer to squeeze out some of the water before using the spin dryer.

Now I still have to go to the laundry mat to wash bedding, towels, and coats, but at least I can have clean clothing at home.

03/28/2016 UPDATE:
This washer is awesome. I can wash 3 towels in at a time. I also washed a set of queen-sized sheets + pillow cases with no problem. My clothing comes out clean and smells good. I haven't had any problems with staining. I'm so glad I bought this machine! It's everything and more. One more month and it will  have paid for itself!
