Product review (4 stars): Not bad!
I have only used this washer once so far, as I just received it a few days ago, but overall I'm very happy. First impression was that It's a lot lighter than I thought (lots of plastic). It's not as sturdy seeming as I initially thought it might be, either. But, at this price point, you can't ask for much more. It can hold more than I thought it might, as well. The way it works is, once again, different than I envisioned. You fill it up using the provided hose or other method, add the soap, and run. there is a hose attached to the bottom that is the draining hoseit works with gravity. You hang the hose off of a hook on the top side of the washer, and to drain you just unhook and flop it into a sink or tub. For rinsing you empty and refill with clean water, run again for a shorter time and then drain. The hose doesn't quite reach the top of the machine when it's hanging up, so if the washer is overfilled, water will spill out of the top of the hose.

It's very simple, which is kind of a good thing for this product. Less moving parts=less to go wrong. The weak point will probably be the construction (guessing if it gets knocked hard enough, something will crack), the hose is quite thin and may be prone to cracking or ripping, and the motor (although it seems strong) may go at some point. Basically, be careful with it and don't overload it and you will probably be fine.

Overall it's quite decent. I think it'll be a good alternative to making trips to the laundromat for smaller items. It's basically a step above washing by hand, though. You still have to wring the clothes out (no spin cycle), and manually drain, and refill for a rinse cycle, and so on. There's not much automation other than the motor which agitates the water. But, for a small washer I can stash under my kitchen table, I think I'll be using it quite often.
