What does semi-automatic mean on this washer?

You fill it and drain it yourself, and it runs the wash agitation. There is no automatic rinse-and-spin cycle like a full-size machine.

Can it wash bedsheets or towels?

Only small items. The drum is sized for a few shirts, socks or delicates, not bedding or a full load of towels.

No permanent hookup is needed. You fill it from a tap or bucket and drain it into a sink, tub or bucket.

No. It uses whatever water you put in, so warm or hot washes depend on your supply.

They come out wet because there is no spin cycle. Wring them by hand and hang or line dry.

Yes, for light loads. It suits one person's small items, but it won't replace a full-size machine for a household.
