Good Points 1. Takes a double duvet cover or a large bath towel easily. 2. Nice and quiet. 3. Small and portable...has carrying handles. 4. Does a much better job than hand washing. 5. Easy to fill with hot water. 6. Nice hose for letting water out but it is very flimsy. 7. Price...great value. Bad Points 1. Plastic housing smells like bad fish when in use...must be the hot water releasing the smell from the plastic. 2. Hose supplied to fill washer was worse than useless...far too small to fit on my tap...I just wedge it under the tap and fill directly. 3. Spin dryer container is so small it is worthless unless you want to spin a sock at a time...I have a spin dryer so not a problem. All in all it is a great washer if you live in a small flat and don't want a plumbed in machine.

Rubbish!!
What a complete waste of money, clothes all got tangled in the wash and the spin well what can I say I could wring the clothes out after a 15 min spin. And I barely filled the basket. Now what to do with it certainly won't be using it. Wish I'd just gone for a proper spin dryer and done the washing by hand!!!!!

Spinner not the greatest
So my machine broke memory board and 2 week wait 🤦🏻♀️ 6 people and a trip to the laundrette £40 + later and a shock to the cost that I could really buy 2 machines with the amount of trips it would take to the laundrette so I bought this little gem to keep washing down . Wow love it can take alot of washing and washes really well although the spinner not great but luckily I have my mams 20 year old spinner so I’ve placed them side by side at the back door , fill it up with my hose wash spin drain fill again rinse spin done . I empty water out the back door so patio is getting a good clean . Nothing like doing it old skool plus it’s cheaper on electric might just keep this for laundry and when big machine is fixed just use it for bedding and large items x

washes clothes well
Have found this little washtub to clean clothes perfectly. Easy to use, easy to transport. Decided it would be quicker to fill the tub with bowl of hot water & detergent rather than use the rather flimsy fill hose but also because it was quicker option. As I have a separate spin dryer do not intend to use the spin dryer function. Read review which indicated the spin dryer function is not terrific. Obviously the size 3 kg wash decides the load to be washed. On my first go I washed a bath towel 3 pairs socks a tea towel & tee shirt. All came out very clean. Obviously I could have returned the soap water to the tub after extraction by the spin dryer, in order to do a second wash, but I was just experimenting and will do that next time. Yes you have to empty via drainage hose to receptacle, bucket, bowl whatever, but not a big deal really. Am happy with my purchase and hope it lasts!

Dangerous
I bought this for my flat with having no space for a regular sized washer, it sits nicely on the worktop, I followed all the instructions, the wash went well, drained quickly and easily into the sink via a drop down tube, refilled for rinse, that went ok, drained OK, put the small rubber basket in with a few small items for the spin, set to 3 mins on timer and it started to spin dry, I went into the living room and had to quickly return as I could smell smoke, which was coming from the machine, it had quickly filled the kitchen with smoke, I switched off immediately and unplugged it, after the smoke had cleared I had a look at the machine but couldn't see how it could have had any problems, it just doesn't seem to have the power for a spin dry, I have sent it back and got a refund, I wouldn't recommend this as it is dangerous and could have had been life threatening and set the flat on fire, avoid at all costs! Had to give one star to complete review was going for no stars!

A useful little machine.
Got this as I am currently living in a tiny flat with no good place to plumb in a normal washing machine. Capacity is smaller than a standard machine, but as I'm alone it's sufficient. Main thing of course is how well it works, answer is that it washes surprisingly well for such a simple machine. It's very light, easy to carry. The spin basket doesn't give you the result of a proper spin dry, that's OK for me as I have a separate spin dryer, but bear that in mind if you don't.
