Product review (5 stars): Powerful little washer!
I am updating this review after having used this washer for a few months.  This thing is amazing!  It has held up beautifully with very heavy use.  I now wash all of my clothes in this washer because I feel that it does a better job of cleaning my clothes than does than the commercial washer at the laundromat.  The only things I don't wash in this washer are large items like my comforter and things that really should be washed in hot water, like towels and sponges (you can't use hot water in this washer because the whole thing is plastic).  But don't worry that heavily soiled items won't get clean!  I have included before/after pics of my dog's very dirty sweater.  It came out like new!

Original Review:  Surprisingly roomy for a small washer.  From unboxing to getting my first load started took about 10 minutes, and only because I took my time. Super easy to operate even if you don't read the instructions (but you might as well read them). The hose didn't fit my faucet, but no matter, I just held it under the faucet with my hand and it filled.  I found that it worked best if I placed the washer on a chair next to my sink.  I put a bucket under the drain hose.  But you will figure out your best configuration quickly enough.  After my wash cycle, I drained the soapy water and refilled the washer with fresh water to rinse.  I drained and filled it a total of 2 times and then it was ready to spin.  I already have a spin dryer (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Mini-Portable-Countertop-Spin-Dryer/dp/B002HT0958/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Mini Portable Countertop Spin Dryer</a>) so I didn't use the little basket.  I recommend that spin dryer, by the way. It works really well and is the perfect companion to this washer.

Love this little washer!  My first load was two entire outfits.  Got my clothes so clean and free of dog hair (which I can't remove with hand washing).
