Impressive! Best in Laundry

I've been using this little washing machine for over a week now and have only used it twice. But so good so far! Very impressed with this compact washing machine and the spin dryer is very efficient. Of course it doesn't dry your clothes completely and you need a dry hanger or some other place to hang all your clothes (but that's another story). but it does a good job of removing most of the water from your clothes. I have to say I'm glad I took the risk of buying this washing machine. Pros: 1) Worth the $40 I paid for. But I saw the price of this item skyrocketed just a week after receiving it. sooo depending on how much it will cost when you read this. You may have a different opinion when it comes to cost and value. 2) If like me you have small loads to wash and don't want to go to the laundry, especially with all this Covid19 pandemic or the winter months ahead, this is a life saver! I only share my underwear and use it twice a week. I did my first wash with this machine this Sunday and then again today when I got home from work. 3) She is surprisingly calm. without saying it doesn't make noise because it does. but it's quieter than a normal washing machine when washing on a carpet. 4) The clothes really get CLEAN! 5) There is a "Mild” wash switch for more delicate fabrics (underwear, cloth face mask, etc.) 6) No more hand washing for me! woohoo! 7) Portable. only weighs about 20 pounds or so. Not bad. I have no problem removing this from my room (for storage) and the bathroom where I do my laundry. Cons: 1) A little more than what I was looking for, I live in a small apartment and don't have much free space. I wish it was a little smaller or that the washer and spinner combined. 2) The hose that was suitable for the water supply to the washing machine does not fit any of my faucets. So I have to fill the small bucket a few times (6 times. 2 times for washing. 2 for rinsing and 2 more for final rinsing. The first time I only rinsed 1 time, but the clothes/pants came out a bit stiff, that for me is a sign that it was not completely washed off.) 3) By the way. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE! Very important! Which brings me to 4) There is a slight learning curve to using this machine. So put your clothes in the laundry. add water and detergent, choose "Normal" or "Mild" and then the time you want to wash. Then you drain the laundry, then put the clothes in the spin dryer (I almost missed that step the first time, lol), once that's done you have to put them back in the washer, add water + fabric softener and set the timer again set to. Then drain the water and put it back into the centrifuge. 5) This washing machine should be placed on a raised surface near a sink or bathtub. Or the drain could be dirty. And the height helps with drainage. Bye. I give 5 stars! Because I am very impressed by this little washing machine. But I will update my review within 6 months. I hope this machine keeps running for a long time.
