Product review (5 stars): Love It-Super, Super!
I bought this little washer/spin dryer ( no heat) over a month ago and love it.  Still have to go to the Laundromat for my blankets (but I had to do that with a larger machine) and so far it is great.  I have no problems with my clothing getting clean (I can see just how dirty my cloths are when I drain the washer).  I have not had any problems  with my clothes being shredded  by the machine.  I use mesh bags for the small stuff, and if I wash one pair of jeans with a shirt, I have no problems.  If you are washing a lot of smaller ideas I recommend the mesh bags ($1.50) at Wal-mart).  Yes, it is a little more work but once you get in a routine or the hang of it, it becomes easier.  I use less electricity and water, with a better job of getting my clothes clean.  Once you fill it up it take 15-10 minutes on washing (how every minutes you need) you can drain and rinse  another 15 or so minutes on the same side or move to the spinner/drier to rinse and spin. The lent filter is easy to use, but it takes time to understand how it works.  Take your time and learn your machine, it is not a total automatic (put your laundry in set the timer and wait) but it still does a great job with washing.  I have to hang up my clothes to dry or buy the small dryer, which I plan on doing.  The dryer is vented so you will need to have a vent or vent out a window. I think a lot easier then attempting to get a washer/dryer at the laundromat. I recommend this washer/spin dry. Have fun, still better than the old load and tote laundromat.
