its light weighted and works great.fits great anywhere.

We live on the second floor of a house and was spending about 30 bucks a week on going to the laundry. So, this washer actually is going to save us a lot of money. It is easy to move about due to its light weight. The only thing is after it spins and rinses dry you still have to hang the cloth up to dry unless you get a dryer. overall great for the price and definitely worth it. PS: it is actually not that noisy.

light weight, quick washer, easy set up. No washer hookup needed. Great for apartment.

First of all, if you have no other option available to you for washing clothes this appliance is SOLID GOLD! I bought mine because the conventional machine that is readily available to me sits in a filthy basement and is shared with two other single men - 'nuff said about that. The power cord is too short. The water inlet hose is not only short but flimsy and good luck connecting to any water source. I "lucked out" but I won't go into detail here. The wash tub on this model is huge. The extraction cylinder is much smaller but surprisingly fast and effective. All functions are loud, so if you live in an apartment, better to give your neighbors a "heads-up" before using it. The impeller at the bottom of the wash-tub powerfully swirls the water clockwise, then (a second motor?) swirls counter-clockwise alternately until the timer stops. Sheets (and I imagine pant-legs) twist into "rope" so I wash in three minute intervals, extract and untwist such items by hand between cycles. You must "baby-sit" the machine throughout the ENTIRE enterprise. However the GOOD news is that YOU are in control. Everything is manual so you don't have to waste time waiting for a "smart" HE machine to pause - "sense" and otherwise "think" - about what it wants to do next, while you are thinking about everything else you have to do that day. I have mine set atop a rolling platform dolly - a must unless yours will be stationary. Fortunately, I have access to a gas dryer. If you are hang drying, don't expect the clean clothes to feel "warm and fuzzy" when you put them on. I have yet to decide whether or not to go on using this appliance. If nothing else, it may one day serve as a back-up should the house machine ever break down.

Update: I gave this product three stars. In this review I stated in my own opinion the good and the not so good. To my great surprise, the seller offered me a "full refund" within days of my review. Let it be known that despite it's ideosyncrasies and somewhat limited capabilities, this unit is a great little alternative to a full size fully automatic washer. Thank you LanBo Online! I hope it lasts. Keeper!

Update: I roll my washer in and out of an (old home) large bathroom with a hardwood floor. The dolly has plastic wheels so the vibrations rumble throughout the house. I try to wash at select times of the day however I may buy a 24 x 36 one-inch thick compressed rubber "fatigue" mat to deaden the vibrations. This thing is anything but quiet. Someone here suggested not opening the door on the extractor side lest the drum-brake wear prematurely - GOOD ADVICE! Rather, always allow the drum to come to a complete stop on its own. The extractor spins on quality bearings so it takes some time for the drum to stop spinning - just wait - if you have the time. Also, if the load is unbalanced - you will immediately know it because left alone, the extractor is very powerful and will just about knock the machine off the dolly - all a part of the legendary "learning-curve" spoken of by many reviewers!

So I took a chance with being the 2nd buyer here...I loved the video demonstration. I knew what to do as soon as it came in. Works great I've had it for a couple of weeks and it works great. I will put up a review with details soon. Great Job and I hope all goes well with other buyers as well
