Product review (5 stars): If you're thinking that this deal seems too good to be true, you're very much mistaken. Great deal.
It's not a washer in what most of us have become used to at least those born prior to the start of this century. There is no agitator, as someone mentioned in another review. Also as mentioned previously, it takes very, very, very, little soap and you can even take some of your heavier weighted items, put them to wash in the machine without any soap at all. This is because there is enough residual soap left in your wash and dried items that this will get out for you. I took a heavy blanket and did this, but didn't expect to be amazed at how much soap was inside it. Once you get used to how to work the machine, especially with the smaller than washer capacity spin dryer, you'll really like it if not love it. Trust me. It is definitely a step above lugging your laundry to a machine used by no telling how many people, putting who knows what into it. :P If you're looking to buy a washer to eliminate the need to do just that, buy this one.
