Product review (5 stars): so completely worth it
I've been using my washer for about a month now, & I'm totally hooked. I live in NYC & was so unbelievably tired of wasting an entire afternoon on my precious weekends off in the laundromat. This is SO easy to set up (buy yourself a cheap little bucket to help fill it up rather than holding the hose the whole time) and fits really well on the small square Whitmor shelf (with the shelf below to hold the detergent & everything. I keep it in a closet & pull it out a few times a week to do laundry for my husband & I (he's on dish duty, haha)  just be careful not to overload. It works so well & so fast that you shouldn't need to push it with load sizes. A few shirts, socks, boxers. One XL towel or sheet at a time. I also highly suggest buying the Nina Soft spin dryer at the same time. Has completely changed my weekends, and that means so much in a city like this one. I was so hesitant about this purchase, because I just am that way about anything over $20. If you're unsure, try it. So, so worth it.
