Product review (5 stars): Perfect!
The machine arrived promptly and in good shape. A minimal amount of assembly is required.  I love this thing!  First, let me mention that for the last five years I've done most of our wash by hand in a bucket or sink due to the ridiculously high costs at the local (small town) laundromat.  I budget $20 a month for a few loads of sheets, towels, and jeans that are too heavy, large, or awkward for me to do with my somewhat arthritic hands.  Also, I use this washer by sitting it in the shower stall in our RV or outside on the cement pad, where it is very easy to use.  I can see if you were trying to sit it on the kitchen counter or anything similar it could be awkward.  I have washed jeans, sheets, towels, and all our regular smaller laundry for two people now for two months.  I originally thought I would have to continue to take things out of it to rinse them properly - but it even rinses well.  It actually works better if you put a bit more in than you think it can take - I do about four pairs of yoga pants or three pairs of jeans.  Queen size sheets one at a time.  It's easy to crank, it does a great job on everything I've used it for - and in two months it paid for itself in our case.  I will also say it works best if you put about a tablespoon of laundry soap in it, rather than a quarter cup or whatever you soap says to use - which makes it even more economical.  I could not be happier.
