Product review (5 stars): Best Conservation Washer for Water and Electricity
This washer is small and portable, yes, but the best feature it has is the truely low water settings for small loads. The low and even extra-low settings on most washers (due to their size) use gallons of water per cycle and more on top of that per rinse while this unit has a low setting that only fills the bottom third of the one cubic foot steel tub. The washer has a setting for a five minute wash with only a couple of minutes for a rinse and the rest of the cycle is fill/spin for a total of around 20 minutes on the low water setting so the electrical consumption is practically nothing compared to the Whirlpool this replaced (that one clocked in at 52 minutes and the low water setting took up half of a 3 cubic foot tub). If you are a conservationist and you wash underwear, bras, socks, delicates or handtowels, this is the washer for you. I hope they make these for the next twenty years.
