This is an apt size, non-automatic washing machine imported from Mexico brand new and still in the factory box about a year ago. It's a great litle washer and handles a decent-sized load, but has no spin cycle. Crazy, huh? It's not a problem for me because I have a Danby Twin-Tub with a spinner I can run the clothes through, but if you don't...you'd better get wringing! It's great for really dirty items as it's wash action is pretty brutal. It cyclones laundry for about 30 secs, and then reverses direction for another 30 secs (up to 20 minute timer)
