Product review (5 stars): beats washing in a bucket
this little machine is awesome... i am actually washing as i write these reviews... i purchased this machine because it had the largest tank capacity.... of all the portable washers i saw.... i would have wanted an automatic machine however the tanks where really small.... i can wash three pairs of jeans at once.... i can wash a basket full of clothes.... after my experience with this washer i am glad i chose this one over the others... the manual aspect of the washer can be bad however, it is really not that bad at all.... i live in an apartment that does not have a washer dryer hookup and i did not have enough room in my kitchen nor bathroom to do a stackable washer/dryer....  this is much better than going down stairs and washing... i don't have to leave my apartment.... and when done...it fits into my storage closet.. it goes great with the retractable clothes line that i brought.... i have had this washer unit for over a year and i am just now writing a review..... it has not given me any problems in this year and the money i have saved over going down stairs or even to the laundrymat.... this little washer has paid for itself.... i would highly recommend this washer to anyone... although it is made from plastic it is really sturdy.... in order for me to drain into my tub... i sit it on two milk crates.... i do not use a buck the way i have seen people doing video reviews..... the bucket is too much for me... this little washer is a must have when all else cant be done.... btw-this is my full time washer outside of my blankets and pillows... EVERYTHING in my house is washed--this is my home washer unit.... so it is used like one would use their full-time washer in there basement or laundry room.
