Great performance; would buy again!
The hose that comes with the washer doesn't fit standard sink fittings, but if you've got a Home Depot nearby or a spigot, you can easily set up a system like I did. Just keep in mind that the washer needs to be at a higher point to drain since it doesn’t have a pump, but a lot of folks just use it in the shower. I connected mine with my laundry supply box, which took a little extra work, but I'm really happy with it. It functions perfectly! I usually run the load 3-4 times to ensure everything gets clean, especially after working outdoors with mud and dirt, but the wash spin cycle and the spin dryer do an job of getting rid of most of the water. It’s worth what you pay, and if mine ever breaks, I'm getting another one! I’d recommend this for anyone on a budget.

So Happy with My New Washer!
I placed my order a few days ago, and it arrived at my doorstep this morning! Being in a rural area, I was thrilled it was delivered directly to my home instead of the nearest post office. The delivery was fantastic! I've already done five loads of laundry today and couldn't be happier with this washer. I have fibromyalgia, and this machine is light enough for me to easily lift into my bathtub! I just fill it using my detachable showerhead, add my laundry soap sheet, and turn it on. The wash is done well, and it spins things nearly dry in just 10 minutes. I find that three minutes on spin gets things about 90% dry, and five minutes works well if I have more items. This is such a great little unit! I'm pleased so far. It's for apartment living, travel trailers, or for anyone like me who struggles with stairs and heavy laundry baskets!

I just got this washer, and honestly, it's a bit of a workout. Filling it with buckets is tough, especially for someone my age. I have to keep pouring water from the sink, and it’s pretty heavy lifting those buckets repeatedly. It’s a lot of work to drain the soapy water, too. The spin tub is great, though—the sheet came out almost dry! But I don't think I can keep lifting all that water more than once a month. I’m fit for 73 but lifting gallons of water is just too much. I really wish they would fix the hose issue since it doesn't attach to faucets here, and make a longer drain hose. Still, I guess it’s better than dealing with the laundromat!

Great alternative for laundry
I picked this up after buying my first house, which is pretty old and lacks washer/dryer hookups. Laundromats are pricey, so I needed something else. I've been using this as my main washing machine since July and it's been a lifesaver. I get the water in with a showerhead since the fill hose is too short, and I usually wash about half a drying rack's worth of clothes each load. I can even wash my bedsheets! Heavy stuff still goes to the laundromat, but this machine gets the job done for most of my laundry. Pros: - Super cheap to do laundry since my water bill is flat. Just pay for a bit of electricity and detergent. - Cleans clothes well. - Lightweight; I can carry it empty. I made a cart with wheels to move it around easily. - Simple to use, even a kid could figure it out. - The spinner works better than other washers I've used. - Drains quickly and has held up for 6 months. Worth the savings. - Safety feature stops the spinner if the lid is opened. Cons: - You have to use your hands to start it, nothing automatic. - Clothes can get a bit linty but it's easy to clean off. - Takes a few loads to do a decent amount of clothes. - Can't handle heavy stuff like coats or comforters. - A little noisy but not too bad. - The spinner can go off-balance, so loading needs to be done carefully. Overall, I like this machine. I actually prefer it over some modern ones. If it breaks, I’d probably get another one.

So far, so good.
I decided to get this machine since my building’s laundry costs $7 a load, and I believe it will save me money in no time if all goes well. I’ve done about 8 loads with it so far. Here are a few things I've noticed: It’s light enough to easily lift in and out of the bathtub, which is a great spot to fill and drain it. The best way to fill it is with a detachable shower head, but if you don’t have one, you might need to get creative with the intake hose or just fill buckets from the tap. Make sure to think about electrical safety since you’ll need a nearby outlet or an extension cord. This washer isn’t for hot water loads, so you may still have to take heavier items like sheets to a laundromat. The agitator works really well, but be careful with wool items. I usually let it agitate for about a minute on the soft setting, then soak for a bit, and agitate for another minute. Just a heads up—my clothes tend to get tangled, so anything you don't want twisted should go into a mesh bag. To rinse, lift the items from the wash cycle directly into the spin dry while draining, and let it spin away. The spin dry function is impressively effective; it gets my clothes drier than a regular washing machine spin cycle. I can often hang delicate items like sweaters to dry without worrying about them losing shape. Keep in mind that unless you have an outdoor clothesline, your items will probably come out a bit more wrinkled than if you were using a tumble dryer. I’ll check back and update this review in a few months if anything changes!

perfect for small spaces
I got this over a year ago and it's been great! It's just the right fit for someone living alone in an apartment or even in an RV. The high-speed spin feature really helps get rid of excess water after washing. For anyone who doesn't have a ton of laundry and wants to skip the laundromat, this is a solid choice. It does a job getting clothes clean and I'm glad I decided to buy it.
