Product review (4 stars): Effective
The load size is about 2/3 of a regular washing machine's. The "speedy"cycle is useful when wanting a quicker wash, and the pause function allows additional items of clothing to be added at anytime. (The machine stops automatically when the lid is lifted during the wash cycle, however, the pause button is a less abrupt option.) Sheets and towels get dropped off at the laundromat (because it's nice to have them washed, dried and folded). Clothing gets washed in the Avanti, effectively, in the comfort of the kitchen. Silicone tape was added to the hose connection at the washing machine to solve a small leak. Magic stuff, that tape.
