Product review (1 stars): I absolutely hate this thing
I absolutely hate this thing! It is so frustratingly sensitive that it is not worth the time I put into it. I've watched tutorials on it and they make it look so simple. You have to arrange your clothes just so and once you think you figured it out, you do the next load the same way and nothing. It shakes and rocks and doesn't spin properly because it's not balanced, so you take everything out and try it again and same thing. Then to make matters worse, sometimes it doesn't even turn on. So you have to walk away from it and take a few deep breathes, then when you work up the nerve to come back to it, it's a crap shoot. It will either work like it's supposed to or it still rocks and shakes. I bought this item in conjunction with the Wonderwasher. Trying to do my part in conserving energy, water, and time when it comes to doing laundry. IF the thing worked properly, it would only hold 1 pair of pants at a time, and to get the water out of the pants, it should spin for 2-5 min. So just to give you an idea. Five pants for the week would take you 10min-25min just in spin time. Now when you account for all the other laundry you have (shirts, socks, underware), plus the frustration aspect of having to walk away because the thing isn't balanced, and the reloading time. It literally takes me hours to do a laundry basket size of laundry. The other thing is, the draining hose is very brittle. Mine got a hole in it after the first use. Causing all the water to pour out onto my counter. So now, even with the hole taped up, I have to prop it up on the edge of the sink so that it can drain into the sink. It's a pain in the butt. If your intentions are to use this occasionally while camping or something, then it may be worth it. But if this is your alternative mode to typical/modern washer and dryer, I believe you will be very disappointed.
