Product review (4 stars): Good At Washing So Far. Not so much for Spin Dry...
It turned out to be larger than I had pictured. I measured the interior dimensions top to bottom and of
course width on both sides and I came up with a measured cubic foot area of 0.92 cu ft. Thought that might be
helpful to some. On my last load the motor seemed to strain a little getting up to the normal swirling motion speed nearly
every time the agitator changed direction. I was washing an aged pair of blue jean shorts, 3 t-shirts,
1 tank top, 1 pair of socks,& 1 wash cloth. When I removed one of the t-shirts the motor returned to its normal agitator
action and with out strain. The clothes came very clean. Pretty pleased there. The Spin-Dry cycle of this thing is a whole
different story. The spin basket is rather small and it performs mediocre at best in terms of removing moisture from the
centrifugal action. For one thing it doesn't spin fast enough IMO to be effective at spin drying and it is difficult near impossible to get the load balanced adequately. It will remove some of the moisture almost comparable to one wringing them out by hand. Guess some of that is dependent on how strong your hands and wrists are.. :-)
I also purchased the Laundry Alternative's entry spin dryer that has the < $90 price currently and its a Prime item on
Amazon. I did a comparative test and I will say the Laundry Alternatives spin cycle removed more than 2x's the amount of
moisture from the same load after I had already used the spin-dry cycle of the Arksen Washer.

One last thing for now: First time I operated the washer was in my kitchen which is rather small and it ran fine but gave off a offensive odor which seemed to be giving me a mild head-ache. It seems to have dissipated. I did move the unit to
my basement where I use the cold water fill and hot water fill hoses from my old large capacity whirlpool washer that broke 2 wks ago to fill the portable washer. I set the Arksen unit on a shower chair and set it next to the toilet that is also close by to the washer and is where I drain the wash water and the water from the spin dry cycles. Will update more later if something significant comes about. Thanks for reading my review. Hope it was helpful.
