Product review (3 stars): Great machine...until it started to leak!
We bought the same exact washer/spinner on ebay. The item shipped within 4 days which was great. When we first opened the package, it had this terrible oil like smell. After a couple washes, the smell went away. It worked like a charm...until it started to leak at the bottom after 2 months! Now we set it in the bathtub with an extension cord when we need to use it. This little machine does require a little more work than a modern washer and dryer. Instead of using the flimsy hose that might not fit your faucet (mine slipped off & water splashed everywhere). I just use a bucket to fill it, it is way faster. After the wash/drain is done, I'll wring out the clothes and drop it evenly in the spinner. (If it's not balance, it'll spin slowly, loudly and not dry) Don't expect it to be like a gas/electric dryer. The spinner gets your clothes dry enough where you'll need to hang it up to completely dry. I don't recommend putting a $100 shirt in there because the machine may stretch it. I also bought a 2 yr. warranty on squaretrade for about $30. Hope this helps!
