This product actually works very well and is well worth the price. It’s easy to use, is lightweight and quiet, does a great job washing, rinsing and dewatering clothes. I’m not sure how long it will last because it is mostly plastic, although it has a good guarantee. We have it on our boat and it’s small and yet will wash plenty of items in a load that takes only 30 minutes. I haven’t tried all the program- the directions are not completely clear on how they operate and what they do. For instance, the soak cycle: does it soak and then wash and rinse and spin, or does it just soak?I will figure it out.I recommend this item.
