Product review (5 stars): love this machine!
Nina soft has changed my life.  Oh, and I bought one of the plunger-style handwashing devices, too.  But, mostly, it's the Nina soft...

Old me: clothes hamper filled to overflowing through the week; had to remember to get money from the bank on Fridays; spent a couple hours carting stuff to and fro the laundry room in my apartment building on Saturday or Sunday night, all the while wondering why laundry rooms are always so grungy; then stayed up late to get everything folded at once.

New me: every other night or so, right as I get in the door from work, I put the 2-3 days worth of clothes to soak in the bathtub.  After supper, I swish with the plunger-washer, rinse, spin and hang from the shower rod.  I fold soft, wrinkle-free things in the morning.  So far, it's been easy to make it a routine.  On Sunday night, I can sit and read instead of racing to get the big chore finished.

And there's more!  No more picking up other people's dryer lint and errant undies left in the coin dryers.  No more sniffing my clothes and smelling someone else's perfumey detergent residue.  No more pouring dollar after dollar into coin machines that often didn't work and, truthfully, never really got clothes all that clean.

I am just so happy with Nina soft.  I almost didn't buy because I thought it was kinda expensive; but, really, it's completely worth the price.
