Product review (4 stars): Good if you're single in a tiny apartment.
The honest truth is that if you are a single person, this machine is perfect for you. It doesn't hold much clothing at all and it is a lot of labor. If you have the time and energy, this is just right for you. I used it happily for a long time when it was just me and 2 little kids. The spinner WILL break if you overload it, by the way. I broke it. Customer service tried to help, but it was not fixable. Once I became a family of four doing a lot of laundry, this machine was not up to the task anymore. This machine is just too much labor. Entire days were consumed doing laundry and by the time we were done, we were too tired to do anything else that was fun.
