Product review (5 stars): The Best thing I ever bought!!
I love this thing!!! The convenience alone would make me recommend this for anyone in a single dwelling apartment, dorm, etc. Not to even mention saving time, travel, money, and annoyance at laundromats. This is fabulous.  And I discovered that the clothes I'd washed in the commercial washers had soap residue in them, when I refilled the washer side to rinse, the water actually got suds 1 to 2 inches deep. That has been next to my skin for years, yuk. Now I'm wearing clean clothes that aren't full of chemicals that dissolve when I perspire and my skin absorbs. No wonder I have so many sensitivities. And I can also rinse on the spinner side by hooking up the water to it, and turn on the tap just enough to let the water stream into the center of the plastic insert that goes on top of the clothes in the spinner. I place the clothes along the side wall, and make sure I can fit my hand down to the bottom of the spinner tub, put in the plastic cover, run the water into the hole, close the spinner cover and lid and turn it on. If I've done it correctly, the weight is right and it goes directly into high gear.  As it needs more minutes, I don't let it come to a stop before I turn the timer back to 4 or 5. I watch the water as it drains to see when the soap suds stop draining, then I just turn off the water, and keep it spinning until the water stops coming out of the hose. This is so wonderful! One of the best things I've ever bought.  Yes, I'd do it again. I plan to never ever live without my own washer ever again. I also bought the Dr. Dryer and it is also wonderful to have. I am so happy with my new set up. The only things I will ever take to the laundromat is rugs, big blankets, etc.
