A year ago my brand new washer would fill with water and immediately drain. I am still trying to get that thing replaced. After going to the laundromat a few times I decided I could probably use something like this for delicates and camping even after the new washer comes. So far, I am thrilled with this little washer. I do not recommend overfilling it. It's actually better to fill to the water line and under load it a smidge for the most effective agitation. This will mean you have to rinse the clothes less. The spinner is awesome and I can toss my clothes into the dryer for 5 minutes just to fluff them up because they are basically almost completely dry after that wild spin they get. I gave it 4 starts for maneuverability because I'd like to put this in my stall shower to drain it easily, however, the cord is so short it won't reach the only plug in the bathroom. The draining hose could be three times the size in my opinion but I will be going to the plumbing store to grab a longer hose since the cord is so short and I have to drain it out my kitchen door. The whole gravity thing is kind of a pain but you get but overall, I am 99% happy and over the moon over the ease and efficiency of it. It was worth every penny.
