I got a Panda washer from Amazon and it is a dream machine. It was $215 w/3 year warranty. I have to pour the water in cuz my sink is messed up so I use a bucket. It comes with a hose to run from faucet to the unit. I put water in and then soap, clothes and more water. I run it, then I drain and place clothes or whatever in spin dry, put setting on drain and spin dry. The items almost come out dry!! I Have washed small towels, hung them up and they are completely dry the next day!! The unit was delivered FedEx and the lady that delivered it helped me carry it up the stairs. It is not too heavy. Yay!! I became grossed out at the public laundramat cuz I would open the washer door and I smelled mold. They never ever clean the washers at a public laundramat and the dryers are even more gross with pieces of gum, candy and who knows what!! in them.
