Washing Machine Reviews

I love this machine and would recommend it to people who understand and appreciate the below points.

If you have lived in Asia or Europe, you have seen some version of this machine before, on peoples' porches and patios.

One powerful idea is you control how many times you want to rinse (I love double and triple rinsing my clothes - get the dirt AND the detergent out!). You control how many minutes to agitate. You can customize how you want to do your clothes. It's super for soaking and gentle-agitating your fine washables - use a mesh laundry bag! Soak as long as you like - it's not the laundromat!

We had problems with a longer delvery time than initially promised. Company took an interest in resolving this problem.
