Wow, so far so good. I purchased the three items I linked above and all are doing a fine job. I can wash about 3-4 boxers, 2-3 t shirts and a pair of exercise pants at the same time. I place the washer on my counter next to the sink and use the spray wand to fill it up. Filling the machine with water is the longest part.
Then put some detergent in and set the machine anywhere from 1-15 minutes. The machine then shuts off and then you lower a hose to drain the water. It then requires you to fill the machine with water again to get to rest of the soap out. Then turn the machine on for a few minutes and drain again. This is the same cycle that your normal washer does, you just have to do it manually.
Since there is no spin cycle on the washer, the clothes are absolutely soaked at the end. I take he items out of the washer and give them a quick squeeze over the sink to get some water out. I then place everything in that spin dryer. It only takes a minute or two in the spin dryer for the clothes to come out fairly dry. When the clothes come out of the spin dryer, they are actually dryer then any othes I've ever touched coming out of any washer. I'd love to washer clothes in a regular washer and then toss them into the spin dryer to see if more water comes out.
Lastly, I hang the clothes on a drying rack. I keep my house at 64 and by morning they are completely dry. I have no long term use reviews since I've only don't about 4 loads, but for now the washer and spin dryer are great!
