Product review (4 stars): It's Worth It!
I live in a small apartment.  The community has washers and dryers but they rarely work.  At $1.50 for each machine it only made sense to purchase the Panda.  I actually love the machine, however I give it 4 stars for 1) The water intake hose is flimsy and does not stay attached to the sink faucet.  2) My fault that I didn't realize I was purchasing the unit that did not have the water pump.  So to resolve both problems I use a 5 gallon basin to fill the washer to the water level needed.  The washer sits in the bathtub through the entire cycles, the water drains down the tub.
The washer holds more than I expected.  The spinner is better than any commercial spin cycle and better than most residential spin cycles.  It's very easy to use and staying on top of laundry is a breeze!
