Product review (3 stars): Great to use, not so great quality
First of all, as far as use goes, I love it. I live in an apartment where the laundry and local laundromats cost $2 a load, so I got this to do smaller loads in my apartment and save the money. It worked great for that and was easy to use, but after only about a month or so, a belt slipped off in the machine. Fortunately, it was still in warranty, and the company felt it couldn't be fixed--which surprised me--and sent me a new machine, so I was pretty happy with that customer service.

Unfortunately, the timer on the new machine didn't quite work right for the spin cycle, and I'd often have to keep track of it myself or it would run indefinitely. After a few months of using it once a week, it didn't work at all when I went to use it one day. The problem seemed to be with the electricity and wiring. I contacted customer service again, and ultimately, they said that because it was out of warranty, I'd have to pay $40 for a new motor I'd have to install myself, and they recommended buying a new machine instead. So I will be buying a new mini machine--just not a Panda one.
