Product review (5 stars): Exactly what I was looking for!
I've had this washer nearly a month now and have done probably 6 loads so far.  I got this washer after reading good reviews about it elsewhere online (even though some of the ones here on Amazon aren't so great), and I've been pleased.

A few things I have done that might mean I don't run into the problems other people were having:

-Even though this washer is portable, it is BIG! Almost full size.  (I've done loads of sheets and towels (plural!) with no problem.)  But because it's big, I never had any intention of moving it out of its designated spot.  (I put the wheels on anyway, though, and it moves (front and back, not side to side) just fine.  I don't know why other people have had trouble with that.)

-The hose(s) that came with the machine were too short for where I wanted to keep it, so I went and purchased (5 bucks) a longer hose at the hardware store.  I have had NO leakage problems at all with the machine.

-I always do a full load of wash (or lower the water level accordingly), so while long sleeves and tights do tangle up a bit, they're not knotted, and not any more so than when washing in a normal washing machine.

I really like how easily you can customize the cycles on this machine.  The lint trap also works spectacularly well.

One tiny "problem"--make sure you always have the drainage hose up on its hook!  If you lower it below the water level, all the water will drain out.  (Duh, in retrospect, but it took some fiddling for me to realize that.)
