Product review (5 stars): Great for hand-washables
Bought this for my home because I have a lot of hand-washables and was tired of using the sink.  A little bigger than I needed but does a great job.  Use a laundry bag like others have recommended just to make sure nothing gets snagged during washing. WASH:  put delicate clothes in laundry bag in the left compartment, use VERY LITTLE detergent or Woolite, add water with hose (connection is on the left) or by pitcher - fill to level above clothes but not over lint trap, turn dial to desired time (I use 5 minutes).  DRAIN:  turn middle dial to drain and it will drain out the hose.  RINSE & DRY:  move clothes to the right compartment, add a LITTLE bit of water by hose (need to move the hose to the right) or by pitcher to rinse, turn dial to desired time (I use 3-5 minutes), push clothes down with the given "frisbee," close the lid, spins to near dry.  NOTE:  I rinse them in the sink before moving to the spin dryer.  Clothes come out damp but nearly dry.  Perfect for hand-washables or things you want to stretch out or reposition before they are entirely dry.  A load of hand-washables took me a total of about 10 minutes.
