Product review (5 stars): Fabulous Little Machine
My office is far away from home and for that reason, I rent a small apartment near work so I am not on the road for 3 hours a day, sleep-deprived.  I've been either hauling huge loads of laundry home, where I have a large washer, or going to the local laundromat, neither of which is something I enjoy doing.  The local laundry is not only expensive, but filthy and I generally have to clean the machines before I use them -- and even then, things don't come out too clean.  After hearing a lot of good comments about the Pandas, I decided to get this little machine.

It arrived today and I'm having a blast washing everything dirty I can find in the apartment.  Clothes and towels come out very clean and the spin cycle will get your clothes as dry as the spin in a commercial washer.  Socks that I had assumed were just soiled beyond hope are clean for the first time in months of washing them at the laundromat.  After you hang your wash, it takes about half an hour for your shirts and underclothes to dry.  Jeans take a bit longer.

For people mechanically challenged like I am, setting it up is a breeze.  The water intake on the left is for the washer side of the unit; the one on the right is for your spinner.  The drain is self-explanatory ... since this is a gravity drain on this unit, your drain will need to be lower than the unit.  I've been draining water in the bathtub.

The timer on the washer is nice, too.  If you're washing office clothes, you'll have 'em clean in about 3 or 4 minutes.  For muddy,  dirty work jeans, socks and towels, I've set the timer for 10-15 minutes and all the dirt is washed out.

The spinner also has a timer -- just a couple minutes does the trick for most items, as long as you don't fill the spinner too full.  Surprisingly, clothes aren't a wrinkled mess after spinning them.

For people who can't stand hauling around clothes to the laundry or elsewhere, this portable washing machine is well worth the investment.  For the environmentally conscious person, you'll cut down on water consumption and expensive dryers.  I highly recommend this unit.
