I bought this washer to fit in my very tiny kitchen. It is very compact and does get clothes clean. Each 'load' takes me about 1/2 hour to wash, rinse and spin. I have used the washer and spinner for a couple of loads every other day so I think I have already had my monies worth and it's still going strong. I did read the reviews on this product before I bought it and like everyone else, I agree that the fill pipe and drain pipes are not suited to purpose, they are too short, do not fit the taps and are quite flimsy so I find it quicker to fill the washer with the kitchen bowl! That said, I would recommend this product for it's size, cleaning the washing and efficient spinning.
