Product review (2 stars): Was great - while it worked...
After 3 months of using the machine once every other week (2 x a month) it stopped working. I only used this to wash underwear and bras and never over-loaded it. It seems as though the motor burned out or something. I am beyond the return policy and my next step is to see how much it is to have it repaired.

Here is my review for when it actually did work:

This little washer is great for smaller garments in a home with no laundry. Twice a month I wash all my undergarments - I learned that it is best to put them in the garment bags as this washer will just ball up dainty items and it's a pain to get undone. If you just use the garment bags, nothing gets twisted up. The design is a bit flimsy but a little attention and care while using makes that not a big deal.

I would fill the bucket with warm soapy water and let everything soak for about 10-15 minutes, then run a wash cycle for 15 minutes, drain the water into the sink, and then fill with fresh water and run a rinse cycle for 10 minutes. This seemed to get everything clean without any soap residue. I'm not sure if this would work for heavier items though.

I wish this stupid thing still worked. It's nice to not have to bring delicates to the laundromat since I hang dry them anyway. Oh well... live and learn!
