Product review (4 stars): Energy sipper and does its job well
Update 3/10/17: after 2 months of usage, it no longer spins. I believe it is the lid sensor, not the motor dying, but unless I can get it working, it's just a weird looking electric bucket with a cord. The only thing I got with the machine is instructions on how to remove the motor screws. How do I get this fixed or replaced. You'll see below tht I love the spinner, but 2 months is not very long for it to go out. How do I contact the seller?

Update 3/19/17: contacted the seller and they sent a replacement right away, no hassle. This one does not leak from the lid and did not come with the motor screws. I am hopeful. Gave back all but one star. If it is still working in 6 months, I'll try to remember to give that one back too.

This is a great little machine. I use solar power so my consumption is pretty closely monitored and this is a sipper. For those of you who would want to know, I am hooked up to 300W of solar power, into 310aH of battery storage. For about 16 loads over the course of about 2-1/2 hours, I went from 13.1V to 13.3V on a sunny morning.

I'm sure I've said "wow" at least half a dozen times because most clothes come out with barely a hint of moisture. Towels hold a lot more water so make sure you have enough room in your drainage container to accommodate about 3x the normal load for a full size towel (I had water everywhere the first time because I did not realize). That also means towels do not come out as dry as other clothes and take longer to line dry.

I found that if I spin the soapy water out before rinsing, I can re-use the rinse water. I have been trying to figure out how much water I use a week, but I have not found my rhythm yet (purchased 2 weeks ago), so it's hard to say.

The plastic cover for the top of the inside seems like it could wear down pretty quickly because of the way it is used not the way it's constructed, but we'll see.

It would be nice to cut down the time it takes without having to do laundry more often, but it's nice to be able to do it at home in tight spaces with little power resources. Keep a towel underneath and an eye on the machine as it tends to wander when it is first started up.
