Product review (5 stars): More powerful than it looks!
This is my 3rd apartment washer in about 4 yrs, the motors tend to wear out easy. This is by far the most powerful and easiest machine I have had yet! The spin cycle doesn't look like it would do much, but most light weight fabrics will come out almost dry! Hang it for a couple hours and its done! The instruction booklet that comes with it is very poorly translated, and won't give you much info, but it is good for a giggle! My recommendation is to watch one of the review videos or look it up on YouTube, there are tons of videos explaining how to use it. I have found you need very little soap, and you really don't need to run an extra rinse cycle if you ring out the cloths a little before putting them in the spinner, then run some water in for about a minute or so before starting the spin cycle. Everything has washed and rinsed very clean and doesn't use much water at all. Like most reviews here, I don't use the provided hose for filling it up. I have it set up next to my bathtub and use the shower wand. The only problem I've encountered was that the drain hose was on the opposite side from the bathtub, but I just got a bucket to drain it into. You could easily get some extension tubing to remedy this as well. Over all, I believe it is well worth the price if you have very little space and are tired of using the laundromat or the 50 yr old machines provided by your apartment complex. For $100 even of it only lasts a year, it has more than paid for itself.
