I like that it fits onto my small kitchen counter, i like seeing through the acrylic sides to see the amount of suds that choice of soap amount created. I wash my clothes by color and therefore I have small loads most of the time. This washer has already paid for itself. I can walk away from it while the clothes are washing as it is stable enough on the counter. I wash tops, lingerie, soaks, and towels. Maybe 5 or 6 pieces total. I have not washed jeans in this washer as I no longer own any jeans. When I choose to wash my Carhartt pants, I will probably wash them alone or with some socks. The spinning function is challenging. I usually have my hand holding the machine in one place as the spinning at best has the machine walking across the counter. I sometimes dry one or two items in the gallon size basket. The spinning feature is not the best but I kept this machine as the price was very reasonable and the washing of my clothes just gets better and better. I can see how dirty the clothes wash water is as I drain the water right into a white pan in my kitchen sink. I usually rinse twice and sometimes 3 times. This makes me wonder how well-rinsed my clothes could have been when I used laundromat washing machines which rinse once. The laundromats were lowering the temperature of the water in their machines so eventually I found all my clothes were washed in cold water. I finally said enough of that. I wash my clothes in warm or tepid water and rinse them at the same temperature if I want. I have the choice.
The cost and overall function of this machine is well worth it for me as my home is small and I am not a fussy person. I repeat. I do have to hold down the machine typically with the spin function and that is about 5 minutes and I am okay with that.
This is the first portable washing machine I have ever used or bought. There are so many different choices. It was the smaller size and the very reasonable price that I based my decision on. There are fancier machines that would not fit on my kitchen counter. Fancier models with twin tubs. Maybe next time. I have already used this machine 15 times at $3.00 a load at the laundromat............it has already saved me $45 at the laundromat and I know my clothes are cleaner.
