Product review (3 stars): Fine for Lightly Soiled Items
Our family of three lives in a very tiny house in the desert with no washer/dryer hookups, and the nearest laundromat is over 30 minutes away.  I purchased this machine to tide us over between our trips into town.  It mostly works for this purpose.  It cleans very small loads of light weight, lightly soiled items (like t-shirts or delicate items) efficiently.  Heavy items (like jeans) and really dirty items (like undies and socks) won't come clean unless you run them through multiple cycles.  The machine fits only one pair of my husband's jeans at a time, and it took 2 wash cycles and 3 rinse cycles to clean them.  Being that a full wash or rinse cycle takes 12 minutes and approximately 5-6 gallons of water to complete, that's a lot of time and water to expend to wash a single item!  The spin dry function does work very well, even for the jeans, and items dry very quickly on the line after they come out.  I'll be using this machine for our lighter loads, but a visit the laundromat is definitely still required for "real" laundry days.
