Product review (5 stars): Great Little Machine
My daughter called whining about having to go to the laundromat. After explaining to her that washing machines are expensive and that I don't have that kind of money I volunteered to help her find something. There was a big catch. It had to be less than 27in wide. My Bosch front loader is less than 27in wide, but that wasn't going to happen for her. So I searched Lowe's to see what brands I should look for at the used place, the only ones that size were Bosch and commercial grade washers. They would even be too expensive used. I decided to check Amazon just to see if there was some brand I'd never heard of and low and behold I discovered this style of washing machines. I remember when I used to live in an apartment and I would've killed for something like this. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. I got it today and tried it out just to see how it works. It is amazing. It works great. I was worried about the drain, but you have to manually select the drain (unless its on spin) so it doesn't just randomly spit out water like a regular washing machine. The spin got the clothes just as dry as the Bosch so they should line dry overnight. For an apartment with one or two people, its way better (and cheaper) than schlepping laundry to the laundromat. Its also pretty light. Don't know how long it'll last, but if it makes it more than 3 months it'll be worth it.
