It's "hand washing" without using your hands.

First off, this is NOT a major washing machine. It's for doing a dozen socks, or a shirt, or a couple pair of undies. With that in mind. . . this is GREAT. For me, I found it works best ON THE FLOOR, next to the Shower. Just fill 1/2 to 2/3 full with water and items. Leave in "ON" all the time. Turn the timer on for up to 15 minutes. Lid locks on, so when 15 min up, pick up the bucket thing, and drain into the shower thru the lid. Lid has drain areas on 2 sides. Since it's already ON THE FLOOR, it is NO BIG DEAL to pick up, and drain upside down into the shower. Wring out clothes (optional) Fill back up with clean water and run again for 5 min or so to rinse. Dump in shower. Let sit upside down in shower for 10 min and MOST of the water will be gone. Wring out by hand. Hang up to dry. I used WAY too much soap the first time, so just a drop if liquid. You can always add more. I am WAY LOVING this thing. Not good for Jeans, but anything smaller will work to get you thru the week.

Nice clothes washing blender thing

I purchased the "Wonder Washer" because my washing machine is out of commission, and I need something for those in-between trips to the laundrymat more bearable. As it turns out, this little washer meets my needs quite nicely, and I will continue to use it even well after the washing machine gets fixed. So, here's the deal: * The Wonder Washer is not a substitute for a washing machine. No, seriously, it's not. * The thing is made of cheap plastic. Handle and store with care. * It's essentially a giant blender, without the fancy modes and buttons. The first button, "Timer", gives the option of setting the time for up to fifteen minutes. The second button, "Program," allows you to set this puppy to "Standard" or "Gentle." * Oh, and there is no, "rinse cycle." How to use: * Add dirty garments; don't overcrowd. * Add water; don't go over the line. * Add dollop of detergent. * Once it's plugged, adjust to desired settings. * It'll turn on, spin, turn off, then spin the other way. It's okay; it's supposed to do that. When it's finished, manually drain the bucket (that means lug it to the bathtub and pour down the drain), wring your things out, and proceed to stuff them in the dryer or hang to dry. Now, lets talk about what kinds of things you CAN and CAN'T wash. Things you CAN wash include: bra's, boxers, underwear, undershirts, camisoles, socks and gloves, tights, leggings, tee shirts, summer dresses, skinny jeans, baby garb, pet costumes, tea towels, and doilies. Essentially, if it's small or lightweight, you can wash it in the Wonder Washer. If it's big, thick, or bulky -- forget about it. That means outerwear is out of the question. Most women's wear shouldn't be a problem, since women's clothing is usually lightweight (thin, often no lining for jackets etc.); however a lot of men's clothing tends to be much thicker and bulkier. Super plush hoodies or thick, heavyweight jeans will be too big for the bucket's 7-10 Liter capacity. Personally, I've been using this little dude to wash "delicates" -- bras and panties, leggings, tights, scarves, and my lightweight dresses, blouses, and skirts. It does the job, leaves my clothes smelling pleasant enough, and hasn't really given me any issue. Is it easy to use? Yes and no. Usage is fairly straight forward, however lugging the bucket back and forth can be bothersome, but that's just me being lazy. Nice product, glad I purchased. UPDATE I (06/04/2014) After using this item on several more occasions, here are some more follow-up thoughts and advice: * The base (where all the electrical components and good stuff is located) has the potential to get over-heated after doing several loads. If this happens, remove the bucket and allow the base to cool. I pointed a fan at it, and it cooled and functioned instantly. * For stains use a spot remover before dropping your clothes in this little guy -- makes a huge difference! (Though you should also use some spot remover with your normal washing machine anyway, for the same reason; just my two cents, anyway). * Do not overfill with laundry. If the bucket it too tightly packed with your clothes it won't spin properly. I can't tell you how many times I had to stick my hand in a bucket full of soggy slimy clothes to loosen it up. * Do not overfill with water. Nope, nope, nope. If you do, then water will be spinning out everywhere and it'll be madness. * On a final note, you do not need to use a lot of detergent. You don't want it super suddy. Personally, I don't do a rinse cycle (I'm lazy), so I don't want my clothes super soapy. Still, adding too much detergent has yet caused any real problems so I wouldn't worry about it too much. UPDATE II (one year later): It's been a year since I've had this little machine and it's still kickin' hard. Great purchase!

Great Christmas present for my mom

I purchased this for my mom as a Christmas present and she LOVE it. Over the years my mom has said she wanted one of these to cut down on washing her clothes. I never gave it much thought but last year I finally bought one for her. Since then she thanks me every time she uses it. She has been able to wash the following: 1 pair of jeans, three shirts, several under garments, several pairs of socks, 1 sheet at a time, 2 large towels, several bath/face towels, 4-5 pillowcases, and more. Sometimes she soaks the garments over night but she always puts the detergent in first and then agitated the water before placing the clothes into the bucket. I am glad I bought this for her. She seems to love it. Will update on a few months.

Great for medical scrubs

I work in a hospital and wear scrubs. I cannot wear the scrubs more than once as I have direct patient contact, and wearing scrubs twice is an infection control issue. So, as you can imagine I accumulate a lot of dirty scrubs in one work week. I live in a walk up apartment with no washer/dryer. And the Laundromat prices are getting outrageous. Plus, the crowd in the Laundromats drive me crazy...screaming, running kids and people screaming into their cell phones. The last straw for me was opening up a washer and it smelled like feces. I looked online at mini washers and decided that before I invested in a costly one, I would try a low end portable washer. I opted for this one as it was on sale for less than $50.00. It actually exceeded my expectations. I use a sprinkle of color safe bleach, a sprinkle of Oxy Clean, and a bit of detergent. I can do one set (top and bottom) of scrubs at a time. After they wash, I put them in the sink and rinse them out. Then hang them in the shower. The next morning they are dry, fresh and ready for wear. After a hot steamy shower, the wrinkles are out of them as well. It has saved me so much time and money because I was hitting the Laundromat twice a week. I do recommend this for light loads and this was not a paid endorsement.

I use it all the time

This is the best thing I have bought in a long time.This is so easy to use, Just put a small load it, I use the tub to fill it, add laundry detergent and turn it on, It turns one way for a little bit , then stops and turns the other way, so it some what agitates .I use it all the time as the washing machine is 2 flights down from my bedroom and the bathroom is 2 feet. I alway loved hanging my clothes out side so in the summer I do and in the winter I just hang them up on a wooden dryer, I only wash lighter clothes in it so every thing dries fast, Saves money on the laundry mat it you use them, I use it more for the convenience myself . Every thing get clean, I have been using the Wonder Washer for over a year now and I just love this washer

Saves me money, time, and clothes are cleaner!

Ok I have this and a laundry alternative spin dryer. I can wash a pair of pants, 2 workshirts, some under wear and socks in 1 load. Washes in about 15 mins- tho you can set it for less time. The spin dryer goes for 5 minutes I and boom your done,, just hang stuff up and it's a dry in a couple hours :) synthetic dries faster, like just under an hour.I find that my clothes are still kinda dirty after laundry mat wash and this lil machine frankly gets stuff cleaner...like, here's a great example: I had a white t-shirt with graphics on it that I washed at laundry mat. All I did was sleep in it, so didn't really get it dirty. But I had some white socks and underwear to wash, too, so I threw them in with just this shirt...was just 2 pairs of socks and 1 pair of under wear...again, all stuff I slept in only once.When I washed them, all this gross grey colored water came out of these clothes...has not used any soap, just a touch of oxiclean in the wonder washer. I rinsed my clothes 3 times, cuz apparently the oxi clean broke loose laundry soap dinge and build up. Stuff came out noticeably whiter once the water ran clear, and I am a believer in this lil machine! I constantly use it now to stay ahead of the laundry piling up,and save laundry mat trips now for doing towels and bigger things at won't fit. A good note is to not overfill this machine, cuz it rinses clothes better if you don't. I run it on a wash cycle, then put my shower head in and rinse a couple times til the water runs clear :) I love that I'm done in 20 mins between a wash and a spin dryer and only have to hang things up. It's a lot faster than waiting an hour and plus for the washer at the laundry mat. No line no waiting no quarters. I figure this and the spin dryer paid for themselves in under 6 months with just 2 of us :) I did crack the lid near where the handle is on the bucket, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal, everything is still working great and not leaking :) If you over fill it, it will splash a little on the floor so don't over fill past the line. Also, I put mine in a corner to make sure it doesn't tip or spill, cuz if you get it out of balance a little, it splashes a little bit too.i run mine in the bathroom of our RV and if the one breaks I'm buying another one cuz it's such a great help!

Buy it! Mine is 8 years old still works like new

(edit: it has now been 8 years and still works as the first day.) I purchased this machine 5 years ago. Im still using it every weekend to lighten up my laundry loads. Now i do all of my baby's laundry here as well. I have gotten back my investment many times over and i continue tobe happy with my purchase. Some of the heaviest ítems i wash are jeans, baby towel, my baby's play mat and once my cotton bath rug.

Still requires attention, but a great tool for small batch fiber reactive dye works

I have a washing machine, so this is a dedicated appliance for me. I only use it as a fiber reactive (cotton/rayon/linen) dye bath. It allows me to do my dye work in my best wet room (tiled bath) rather than kitchen (dye is not edible) or laundry room (no laundry sink; front loader). I set it up on the bathroom counter, use timer, and can do my rinsing in the shower with the hand-sprayer. I have not used this for acid dye (silk/wool), but that’s because I work with garments rather than yarn. A half pound of cotton is the 7L mark, and that turns out to be 1 vintage full-sized strong muslin sheet, or 3 yards of lightweight woven cotton (voile to muslin) or up to two garments (sewn with cotton thread). Use the 7 L mark, not the 10. Just as an FYI: add 4 L of warm-hot tap water to the vessel. Turn it on, using the gentle setting. Gradually add the salt, ensuring it dissolves. Paste up and dissolve the dye, then add that to the water. Then add the wet fabric, and more water if needed to reach the 7L mark. Set the 15 minute timer. Let it run twice, then start the soda ash addition. If you’re going to be doing significant yardage, you probably want a pair of large storage containers, a plunger-type washing aid, and some outdoor space. This is for small batches, for the people who buy their dye in 2 ounce containers, but for test batches or custom work, it’s excellent. On longevity: I’ve had mine almost two years. It’s still working fine. It has always sounded grumpy-grindy when it agitates, but that’s normal.

Great for camping and apartment living

We used this while camping and traveling, so we used it outdoors (with a generator) and also in hotel rooms and such to avoid having to seek out laundromats. It requires way less soap so we bought individual liquid laundry soap packets and used maybe 1/3 of the packet per load. It fits many more kid's clothes than adult clothes (not counting undergarments), but it's a pretty fast cycle (15 min?) and does a great job of rinsing all the dirt and grime out of the clothes, so it's not too difficult to get a lot of stuff clean in a short amount of time. The laundry is very soggy after coming out so we used this in conjunction with the Nina Soft Spin Dryer to get our clothes clean and dry as quickly as possible. I also think this would be great for apartment living (it's fast, pretty quiet, and effective) so you can save some $$ doing laundry at home without going to a laundromat. I think this is better for less bulky clothes -- I can't imagine washing terrycloth towels in it, although we haven't tried. It's also a great backup to have in the event of a washing machine issue or power outage (with a generator) so it's a nice piece of gear to have.

Great Product and Durable!

I use this washer a lot! It's not large and it's easy to use right out of the box. My mom had one and it saved me a lot of money. Just be careful because the unit is top heavy. Prop this near a corner in a bathroom and it works great.
