Product review (3 stars): Lasted two years..
This product was a lifesaver when I lived in an apartment without a w/d. It could handle a respectable load and I bought it with a spin dryer and the pair worked well for two years. The agitator (?) has recently stopped, so it is no longer of use to me. No idea why, because I didn't use it that often ( maybe 15 to 20 times in 24 months) because I ended up moving into a condo with a washer.  But to be honest, I probably would still recommend it to anyone in a bind and to do quick loads of undergarments, pillow cases, etc. I would stress to lower expectations for how long it will last.
