Product review (3 stars): Not Good Washing Performance
Overall, the machine washes okay but certainly not great. The agitator agitates for one second, then shuts off for a second, then agitates again--I find that the only way to get clothes as clean as a regular washer is to 1. Keep the load small (like one pair of jeans only, 2. Wash everything on the "heavy" setting. 3. Use hot or warm water even for delicates. If you wash this way, however, it will take a long time to complete loads. Also, the washer keeps shutting off prematurely, so I'm always having to babysit it instead of just letting it run--quite an annoyance. Still, it only costs $200 on sale, so I can't complain too much.
