Product review (1 stars): Good Service, Bad Product.
11/08/2013: Since writing the below, I have been contacted by Panda. Initially, I was asked to return the machine and pay for the shipping. I was told I would be refunded the cost of the machine minus shipping. After asking them to do the right thing and cover the entire cost of the return, they agreed. I was also asked to amend my comment. I agreed. So here it is, the product remains a huge disappointment for the reasons listed below but Panda's customer service is not. They have been responsive and reasonable to date. I will keep readers posted on the outcome of this transaction.

11/07/2013: Do. Not. Buy. Received the product 11/6, upon first use the washer began to emit a terrible burning plastic smell which continued and grew stronger through the cycle. Also noticed a small leak at the top of the machine. Received no adapter for the sink hose which was too short. Called the Panda customer service number which was disconnected. Waiting for Amazon to resolve my refund. TBC.
