Product review (3 stars): Great washer but keep your clothesline.
This washing machine does an amazing job cleaning clothes.  Stains that were on for weeks using coin-op machines disappeared in one wash.  It also uses less than half the detergent and water to wash the clothes.  The downside is that it is about useless as a dryer.  It literally takes longer to dry than it does with a clothesline indoors or outside on a warm day. It also wastes water during the dry cycle to cool the drum, and even with a tiny load, leaves everything faintly damp no matter how long you run it.  It works for me; as a mechanic I really stain my clothes and it can match my worst.  I don't mind hanging out the wash too much, it's the "green" thing to do.  It would not do for people with kids or with no place to string a clothesline.
