Product review (5 stars): Awesome product for Laundromat Independence!
Love my panda. First, it's not cheaply made. I knocked this thing over running water into my tub and it did not come apart and still works.

I live in an apartment with no laundry hook up and hate dragging my laundry through the streets to the laundromat. Not to mention the time. Now with the Panda, I can wash laundry and cook or clean. No more wasting 2 hours!

I am 5'6" and I'm able to wash a pair of jeans with two t-shirts or four shirts. I follow the instructions and fill about three inches of water and run with a small amount of detergent for three minutes to dissolve the detergent. Then I load my clothes.

I run a 15 minute cycle. I drain and rinse, and then refill the washer to put it through it's "rinse" cycle for another six to nine minutes. I rinse and squeeze out.

I run two batches like the above. The only complaint I have is I don't think the motor will last as you can smell it on the second round. But I have to re-read the instructions on how to maintain the machine. I also wished they have where to fill with water. I marked the cut off with tape.

I use this in my bathroom as I have a hand held shower head. I push the 2nd hose into the one attached to the system to prevent water spillage when the machine runs.

I wash my clothes only now - sweaters, sweat jackets, jeans, t-shirts, you name it. But I plan on starting to wash my pillow cases and sheets. I purchased the mobile breathable washer (aka rapid washer) to do my larger items.

I can store everything in a cabinet. I'm suggesting this to friends who own condos and don't have a washer and dryer hookup or have a building laundromat that constantly is broken or floods.

One note: You MUST get the Laundry Alternative Spin Dryer. This is what makes me truly laundromat independent. If you just use the Panda it can take nearly two days to dry in the bathroom with a window open. With the dryer, it's done overnight. With the heat on or putting the laundry on my fire escape, it's dried within an hour or two.
