Product review (5 stars): Best Product
I had a Panda compact washer before and loved it. They have improved this model by having a plastic see thru window on the dryer to keep the water from coming through the pressing piece, which is nice. It also seems much quieter than the original one. I had to get another one because for some reason when I put the 1st machine into storage, I found the drainage refused to work. So beware. My items were only in storage for 3 months, during the usual New England Fall. The price is a bargain. The size of a small desk and does a decent load. Excellent choice if you live in an apartment. I live on a 3rd floor and it comes shipped well packed(that is what puts on the extra weight). I just took it out of the packing & was able to carry it up 3 floors with no problem. You can set the time for a load(nothing longer than 15 mins.) Dryer operates by 5 min cycles and all clothes come out dry enough to either line dry or I put mine into an apt dryer. All done in an hour.
