First, understand this is not a high-end washer/dryer, so don't have miraculous expectations; however, with that in mind, this item is AWESOME! Understanding it's parameters and limitations is key before you make the purchase. For me, I live in a remote rural cabin and use it out on the deck. I fill with a garden hose, or a bucket of hot water if needed, but the cool thing is is that I just let it drain off the edge of the deck and hang dry on the clothes line also on the deck. This is perfect for small loads and washes well, spins at high speed, and is real quiet. For instance, I washed a long-sleeve sweat shirt. Wet, weighed approx 4-6 lbs, but after the spin (dry) cycle, it weighted less than 1/4-1/2 lb and seemed practically dry. I am so stoked I bought this. Well worth the price and peace of mind you have at doing your domestics when/where you want to.
