Product review (4 stars): Interesting
Got mine a while ago and used it about five times the first day I got it.

Simple enough: you put some clothes, a small amount of water, and some soap in the bucket, put the bucket on the stand, and turn the knob to set the time. Then you dump the dirty water, put in some new to rinse, and start over.

It does get clothes clean. I put play clothes in the first load and the water came out brown and gross, so it's definitely doing something in there. Basic agitation, nothing exciting. I would say it's not what you want to get out any hard stains or heavy soil etc.

The more clothes you put in, the less effective it is. I tried a few heavier shirts and it seemed to weigh the spinner down so the clothes turned much more slowly. But a few shirts, socks, and underwear and it's fine.

The bucket is a little bigger than I expected, which is good, but it's still manageable so that I can get it to the tub to drain easily.

The top doesn't really attach well, but it doesn't really matter. If you keep the water below the fill line and use low suds soap, you can actually leave the top completely off. I only use the top when I'm dumping out the water to be honest.

I haven't had it for long. If it breaks any time soon, I will update to let everyone know but so far so good.

**1/12/14: Okay I promised to update and here I am! The "spinny panel thing" in the bottom that physically agitates the clothing popped off today. It looks like it's missing a waster or a screw or something, but should be easily fixed. I have been using the machine a lot as we just moved and have bags of clothes, so let's estimate it at about 6 shirts, 2 towels, and a pairs of jeans every day sine I got it, give or take a few socks.**

Long story short, I only have to go to the laundromat with jeans and towels now, so I am happy.
