Product review (5 stars): The Marathon Runner of Washing Machines!
I do not even know where to begin!  This review is for the largest (15lb) size of washer.

I do an IMMENSE amount of laundry.  Both parents are disabled seniors, plus I've got three male cats (one in his extreme geriatric years), and while most of them TRY SO HARD to be helpful and good I still end up with a ton of laundry.  For years I had a front-loader by GE, loved it, but it was horrible to maintain; the filter was upside down, underneath, and strictly speaking required a service call to clean out, but I would do it anyway.  When it finally gave up the ghost a year or so ago, I bought an expensive GE monolith that hurt like hell to haul into the back of the house, required two doors to come off their hinges, and lasted a whopping six months before mysteriously giving up the ghost with absolutely no indication of what went wrong.  But, it had a filter in the FRONT! :)

So I did without a washer for a while because I was heartsick and am honestly not sure I can get the old washer back out again.  Laundromats seemed wonderful at first, get all the laundry done in one go, but slowly and sneakily drained the savings until we literally couldn't afford to wash clothes anymore.  Luckily that happened right -at- the same time I got a good enough paycheck from work to afford this little gem.

This washer is a WORKHORSE.

I will plainly admit that I very likely do way more laundry in this washer than it was ever intended to handle.  On "bad" days I will do 3-8 tubs, although I do keep a nose peeled and let the washer rest between cycles if it smells like it's heating up.  Normal days are 2-3 tubs a day, 4-5 days a week.  I expect every day that it's going to die, but it's been four months and quite honestly I've done more laundry in it than I did in the larger, expensive machine.  It is also spinning MUCH BETTER at the four-month mark than the larger, more expensive machine, which impresses me no end.  It handles full queen sheet sets (just) and everything but the largest, flluffiest blankets.  Towel sizes vary from household to household but, for our towels, I'll throw in 2-3 with either a sheet or a few pieces of clothing.

I also do horrible, mischievous things to this poor little machine that I've never done before.  I stop cycles early, I change settings mid-cycle, I stop one cycle to start another, I set the timer so it'll wash in the middle of the night, I set the washer to run after I'm done running the roaster for dinner, basically playing with all of the settings in ways I never did on a washer before.  I've never used a washer to soak things before, but now I do and it's just so simple.  I can leave things soaking when I go to bed and tell it to rinse and spin while I'm catching some sleep.  I try to use good sense (does spinning out sheets that are going on the line outside REALLY require the last four minutes of spinning?) but the long and short of it is that I pretty much utilize this washer with clothes every way possible.

With regards to setup:  it was so easy to pack and wheel it into place next to the kitchen sink!  I did in the drain hose relatively early on, but there's a lovely Harvey universal drain hose here on Amazon that replaces it easily, has a wider diameter, and appears more robust in general.  Amazon also sells drain pans if you're worried about spills (which I was after the drain hose incident), all you have to do is measure your space and buy to match.  Our washer is not hooked to the tap, but rather to a 15-foot garden hose leading to the original washer's cold faucet, which works just fine for us since I only ever wash in cold anyway.  It drains into the kitchen sink and doesn't overflow, unless someone carelessly leaves a dish in to cover the drain.  (Not that that has EVER happened!!!!)  Because the wiring in the house -and- neighborhood is all very old, it is actually plugged into an exceedingly overrated surge suppressor mounted beside it rather than being plugged into the wall.  When not in use, the surge suppressor is turned off, so hopefully this saves our electric bill a wee bit, too.

So, it's a bit of a Rube Goldberg setup, but I love the washer so much, love that it makes my life easier and saves me both money and time.  Honestly, when I finally run it into the ground, if I can't fix it myself and I can afford it I'll probably just buy the same machine again.  It's cheaper than the laundromat for the amount of washing I do, and it's just so nice to use.  I've never had a washing machine that encouraged me to -play- before!  I also love, without end, that it has -two- filters and they're both easy to access.  THANK YOU FOR THAT, PANDA!

In the meantime I'll be saving up for a Panda dryer; line drying in the Winter is driving me CRAZY!

If I had any wishes for the washer, it would be:
 - A 20-minute cycle for things actually dirty but really not THAT dirty.  (I pretty much just use the 10-minute cycle as an extra "did-I-really-add-that-much-soap" rinse cycle.)
 - A spin cycle without draining the tub first, for when I really just want to spin something a little bit more.
 - An extra soap cup so that I can split a "pod" easily between the two and then just switch them when I put on the next tub of laundry.

These are the various detergents and additives I've used at different times in the washer.  All seem to work quite well, although you do need to be careful with proportions; the washer is much smaller than standard, so save full-sized "pods" for really soiled loads!
 - Arm & Hammer Liquid Laundry Detergent Plus OxiClean
 - Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent Plus OxiClean Power Paks
 - OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover (Bulk Powder)
 - OxiClean 2-in-1 Stain Fighter Power Paks
 - Tide Odor Rescue with Febreze
 - Tide Brights Plus Whites Rescue
 - Downy Ultra Liquid Fabric Softener, Free & Sensitive (Using a Downy Ball.)
 - Febreze In-Wash Laundry Odor Eliminator
 - Tide PODS Free & Gentle
 - ALL Mighty Pacs Laundry Detergent, Free Clear OXI
 - Tide Washing Machine Cleaner (This works best if it is the last thing you run before you go to bed at night.)
 - Clorox Color-Safe Bleach
 - Bounce Bursts In-Wash Scent Booster

My favorite so far is ALL because it gets clothes clean but leaves them smelling pretty much like tap water, which is super-handy for line-drying indoors; I prefer the scented detergents for things that I hang outside where they're going to be well-aired and only carry a small amount of their scent back into the house.  As you can tell from the list, pretty much any style of detergent or additive works in this machine, even with just using cold water.  What I use depends entirely upon what I am cleaning up and what I've got around the house at the time.  If I'm using anything worryingly corrosive (hello, bleach, my nemesis) I'll just make sure to run a tub of something a little more neutral just afterwards.  I really love this washer and want to keep it running for as long as I can!

As a PS, this washer also cleans stuffed toys of ALL sizes and spins out queen-sized goosedown pillows better than the fancy washer ever did.  I mean, I have to wash one pillow at a time, but I hang that pillow over a bed rail and it's dry enough to use by bedtime, without having a dryer.  I can't even begin to state how stress-relieving that capability is.  No emergency runs to the laundromat!  It also washes pillows with polyester filling and the ones with little polyester pellets.  And, it also washes microplush and chenille blankets, which are VERY, VERY, VERY heavy when wet, and spins them out incredibly well.  But, it also is really nice for washing delicates like my striped stockings, although you'll want a mesh bag for anything truly delicate.  Seriously.  I could sell these washers.  It gets everything SO CLEAN!

Edit:  I just also wanted to add two things.
1) The washer pretty much did run silent when I first got it, but after the INSANE amount of washing I've done it's definitely audible when it runs.  The motor for spinning the tub and the pump(s) can both be heard.  Keep in mind, it's purely due to my insane washing load that this has happened so quickly, though.
2) The two filters:  One is a small basket inside that will catch small particulates such as sand, lint, and undissolved soap.  You'll want to check this before every tub, the first few times you run it, just until you get an idea for how often you'll need to change it.  I need to change it more often for towels, shoes, and for things that got actually muddy while working outside.
The other one is on the back of the machine right next to the drain hose.  It's a little out-of-the-way to get to, but it's the same sort of filter you'll find on modern front-loaders: unscrew the cap, pull out the unit to see if there's anything big caught in it, and screw it back in -- FIRMLY.  You want that cap in all of the way because that's right in front of the pump and if you don't get it in securely the washer will just drain water EVERYWHERE.  You probably won't need to check this one all that often, though, it's more a semi-annual maintenance thing.

If anyone has any questions, let me know and I will do my best to answer them!
