That's all this washing machine does: it gives your clothes a sponge bath. I finally caught it on the "wash" cycle, so I pushed Stop and opened the lid to find "moist" clothes in the bottom of the barrel.
I was hoping to find water at least about an inch over the top of the towels, but no. This is not like a TRUE washing machine that actually uses lots and lots of water to let your clothes swish and swim around in the barrel. No, no, this one just dumps a little water on your clothes until they're barely wet, then it does something that we're supposed to think of as "washing" and we're expected to think of them as clean. No wonder the bath towels smell sour half the time. They aren't TRULY being cleaned, in my opinion. I'm thoroughly disgusted by the idea of wearing any clothes that have been washed in this machine.

Do yourself a favor and get another brand and don't get a water saver brand. There seems to be no way to override the "water saving" (aka inferior cleaning) mode of this machine.
I hate this machine and I wish it had never come into this house. Yuck! I feel like I'm wearing clothes that have been used to mop a locker room. Ease of Use. Aside from the lack of enough water to give me confidence that the clothes are actually clean, this machine would be a lot better if you could pour large amounts of detergent, fabric softener, and bleach into all the different compartments instead of having to add these liquids for each load. Or what should I do?
The owner's manual says to only put enough of these liquids in for single loads, but there are "fill lines" on the machine, itself, leading me to think that maybe it's supposed to hold enough for several loads. Not that it matters, really. With as little water as this machine uses, I'm afraid to add anything like fabric softener or bleach. I don't feel like very much of it would be rinsed away.
Design. Assuming "design" includes the mechanics of it, it's strange. Most of the loads of bath towels we wash end up off- balance, but we can just hit stop, then start, without touching the towels to redistribute them and the cycle finishes without a problem. It only happens on towels, though. Durability. I'm not sure how long we've had this machine.. Sometimes water runs out all over the floor. We haven't figured out exactly why because it doesn't happen every time.
