Product review (3 stars): Cool product but needs improvement
This is a great idea and when it works, it's a really cool product! Problem is, it can be pretty finicky. It needs to have the PERFECT amount of clothes in it and they need to be balanced JUST RIGHT, for this thing to work. If there isn't enough weight inside, it won't spin at all. At first I though it was totally broken because it didn't respond. After playing around with it trying to get it to go, I figured out the load was just too light and needed to add more items. Kind of annoying if you just want to wash one or two shirts.

Also, the drain hose is VERY short. It comes with an extension, but the extension is basically useless because it does't stay attached. It is not affixed in any secure way. You're just supposed to slip it on the end of the hose and hope it stays (which it doesn't and water will get everywhere).

There is definitely room for improvement but compared with what else is out there, it's a pretty neat item and I'm glad I purchased it.
