Product review (4 stars): Overall I am happy with it
I thought I posted a review, I must not have submitted it properly. I like the machine. I have not had some of the mechanical problems that others have had. My unit does not leak, and I have used it daily at least twice -- straight, and it is still going strong.

Some issues I have had that others have complained about is that it is hard on clothes. After reading reviews where some people were jumped on for overloading it - and that being the reason their clothes where ripped up, I was careful not to overload it. The photo of the knot is one tank top, one thin pair of leggings and one long sleeve t-shirt that I had to detangle before drying them. So -- I thought perhaps a laundry bag would be better, but when the load was done there was a hole ripped in it. I thought they where just old bags since I had them for a very long time. I bought a new bag - same thing. A hole. Therefore- in my little world - it is, indeed, hard on clothes.

I find it is easier on my clothes if I wash them ONE at a time, but fill to factory specs as if the unit were full of clothes. This seems to be the fix. My leggings came out very nice. Overall I am happy with it for the price, but my time to do laundry just went up since I can only effectively do one item at a time.
