Product review (4 stars): Just what I needed in my apartment.
I live in a small 2 bedroom housing apartment with out washer/dryer hookups. Although there is a small laundry room on the property, I still have quite a walk, a severely autistic child, and people I have to share with. So this was a must have. Its a lot bigger than I thought it would be, it works well and helps me out tremendously! Kinda hard to use the first time even reading the instructions. I ended up flooding my floor. Ive used this many more times since with success though. The washer section is huge! I'm still trying to figure out the clothes water and soap ratios though. I will say a little tiny bit of soap will do even with the biggest loads. I easily put a couple pair of jeans and shirts and kids clothes in it and it washed well. The part that moves your clothes around does tangle most clothes easy and sometimes I have to help it get some clothes from the top to the bottom. The spinner is significantly smaller. I usually have to spin in sections per load of laundry. In about 35 minutes you will have washed clothes. Note the dry spin does NOT dry clothes completely! It's not meant to either. Hooking it up is easy and I usually keep a big bowl by the drain hose for those times I forget. But usually tape the drain hose to the kitchen sink to drain easily. I am so glad this was introduced to my life! I received this portable washer for a discounted price in exchange for my review.
