Product review (2 stars): Only easier than hand washing
I bought this item to wash waterproof bed linens that I use to line the cage of my bunnies. They hate the disposable puppy pads, so I thought I'd try a washable alternative. For those of you who are fortunate to not endure the smell of bunny pee, count your blessings - few things are smellier, especially when they are eating alfalfa hay. So, instead of throwing them in the wash with my clothes, I decided to get a small washing machine to help clean the linens.
Some things to note:
- The item looked to be cheaply made, more so than I thought, also with packaging and packaging materials.
- The assembly instructions were nowhere up to par. The paper I found more described how to use to wash than assemble. At the very bottom you could see maybe four small diagrams of how to assemble. Not too confusing, but I found I did have to take it apart again and reassemble because some parts weren't too clear from the beginning.
- The very second time I tried using it, something inside broke and I found a piece of the machine with the linens.
- You absolutely must get a dryer with this machine. And hand wring everything that comes out of it before putting in the dryer unless you want to wait forever for it to dry.
- And lastly, while to be fair, bunny pee is very smelly, it didn't clean out as much as I hoped.
Overall, it's better than hand washing, but not as good as I had hoped it to be
