Product review (1 stars): The worst thing about this machine was that it broke down ...
The worst thing about this machine was that it broke down in less than a year with no more than 10 uses. The best thing about this machine is that a broke down in less than a year and that led me to buying a different portable washing machine that I am in love with. But I'm not here to talk about my new machine that I replaced this machine with. After this machine broke down I called Amazon and they refunded all of my money and send me a shipping label to return the broken machine to them. Thank you Amazon! So, I added a bit more money to it and bought a new machine from Amazon that I love!!! However, the machine that I'm giving the review on leaked from day one so I only used it outside on the covered deck which wasn't that big of a deal being outside. It was a bit of a pain having to take the clothes from the washer and put them into the rinse and spin dryer side of the machine. Then I would have to switch the water hose from the washing machine portion side of it over to the rinse and spin dry side of it each time I did a load. So, I guess you can say that it was a bit of a pain in the you-know-what  however the fact that I hate going to laundromat made this extra step worth all the extra work for me. I say this because if you expect to just throw your clothes in the washer, walk away and think that when you're coming back all you have to do is throw them in the a dryer or hang them on your clothes line......well, expect a little bit more work. I do not recommend this machine. There are other portable machines that will wash, rinse and spin all in the same drum just like a regular wash machine but portable and smaller like the one I replaced this machine with. Oh yes one more thing that I forgot to mention is that you are only supposed to use cold water with this machine. I give only one start for this washing machine but I do give Amazon five stars for their service.
