Product review (4 stars): Not bad and easy to use.
Overall I like this product.  It wasn't flimsy at all.  The first try was a pair of jeans, bath towel, 2 pairs of socks and underwear without any issues.  I wanted to make sure it was clean so I turned that crank for about 4 mins and did two 2 minute rinse.  The clothes came out great.  The next two loads were smaller and following the recommended instructions, the clothes still came out clean.  I would recommend this to anyone.
