Product review (5 stars): FANTASTIC Washing Machine & Superior Spin Dryer/Extractor!
ALthough I've had this washer for only a few days, I think it does an incredibly good job getting my clothes cleaner than a regular washer. The drain pump works wonderfully as does the spin dryer. I washed some bed sheets, ran them through the spin dryer and nearly ALL the water had been extracted from them. I hung the sheets for about 10 minutes with a common fan circulating air throughout the room (not directly aimed at the sheets) and they were 100% dry in less than 10 minutes!!! For heavier items (work pants and denim) I tried running them through the extractor twice, but they were already so water-free, I just hung them on a simple bamboo clothes rack and although they took longer to dry, they came out looking like the same new fabric I had purchased 2 years ago. I adore how super clean my laundry gets with this washer. I don't even need a clothes dryer, everything dried so quickly!
As far as the washer side, cleanest clothes ever - just like the day I bought them! For heavier soiled clothing (my husband's work clothes) I added a bit of white vinegar and a tiny fraction of the recommended amount of both laundry detergent & detergent booster and his clothes were wonderfully clean! The drain pump works incredibly well also. This was imperative for me, since I have trouble with my hands and wringing clothes out. It extracts a LOT more water (almost all of it!) than your average full-sized washer, cutting down on drying time and saving me from carrying beyond-damp clothes to hang to dry. There is absolutely NOTHING I would change about this unit. I was not given a discount or a free unit, I bought this full price and haven't regretted spending a single dime on it. It's worth every penny and then some. THANK YOU IVATION!!!
