Product review (4 stars): Great for apartment living!
Love this machine. Had it about a month now and it works great. The instructions are ridiculous and hard to interpret (but they're actually pretty funny to read), and there are a few caveats (below) but I am so glad I bought this. I'm saving so much money by not having to go to the laundromat anymore.

Things I don't like:
-Noisy. Not deafening by any means, but I worry about my fellow tenants hearing it.
-For this reason I don't use it in the bathroom like it think it's intended, and have to use a bucket to fill and empty it.

Things I DO like:
-The spinner! Saves you having to wring out damp clothes, which can be hard on the hands.
-The gravity draining works really well, even when emptying into a bucket.
-Compact and solid despite feeling kind of cheap.
-Great value for money!

4 stars =)
