WASHING AT MIDNIGHT

This is definitely getting a workout. I love the ease of it. My trick is to do very mini loads. Easy to crank and less time messing around with heavy loads. Clothes come out clean and I love the cost of laundry .... basically FREE. In my apartment building you never know who or what has passed (literally) in the washers/dryers before you ... so this is a great option. Better than the dual things or combo washer/spinner machines. Got one of those and TOO BIG, TOO NOISY. THIS I can wash 24/7 and bother NOBODY. I'm 70 and if I can crank it, anyone can.

This item arrived in appropriate packaging to keep it safe from damage while in transit. It came in many pieces which looked overwhelming at first but it was pretty easy to put together and it came with clear instructions. There was one small piece missing from mine, and when I notified the company they gave fast, great customer service and are mailing it out a.s.a.p. It seems to be very sturdy and I don't expect it to break any time soon. I have been using it for three days now, several times per day trying to catch up on laundry since my washer broke. It takes some amount of physical activity so keep that in mind. (I fill it with 2 quarts of water, put in laundry, crank for two minutes, lift into the tub, drain, fill with 2 quarts water again, lift out of tub, crank for 30 seconds, lift into tub, drain, wring out clothes and carry them wet to the dryer. I do this three times and get a dryer load that isn't too much smaller than a regular load of laundry. Don't try to put more than that in unless you have a wringer, it's too much weight for the dryer.) If you are able to use this outside next to a line that would be ideal. The suction cups do not stick very well so you can't count on that, make sure you are holding it down with one hand while you crank with the other. It gets clothes amazingly clean, as good as my electric washer if not better! That alone got it five stars from me. It's a great little machine if you don't mind the workout. I'm very grateful to have one.

Totally worth it!!!

I love this little washer! So easy to put together and use. It fits in my bathtub so it's convenient and I feel like I save water and soap when using it. Took it camping with me and now I'll never go camping without it. Makes coming home nicer because there isn't as much dirty laundry to do!! My boys go dirt bike riding so it's great to be able to wash their dusty dirty clothes each night. I especially love it for my delicate bras and lingerie and nylons! No more tangled pantyhose!! :) And did I mention how quick it is to use. I actually enjoyed spinning the thing and my boys were able to help too!! It's just a great little machine. I really wish i had it when I was living in the college dorm. Would have saved me lots of money!

Very easy to use

I live in Puerto Rico, which was recently hit by severe hurricanes Irma, then followed up with Maria. Since it was expected for us to be around 3 months without electricity (spoiler alert: it's been more than 3 already), I bought 2 of these, one for myself and another for my grandmother. It is really easy to assemble and even easier to wash your dirty clothes with. The lid has a strong seal, with no apparent signs of leakage, even when hot water is used. My grandama is around 65(won't tell her real age), and she doesn't find it a chore to clean her clothes. On the contrary, she recently mentioned how she really enjoys it. She grew up washing clothes by hand, and she mentioned that the level of cleaning this little hand cranked machine does is really comparable to that of hand washing.

My Precious

My little precious was shipped and arrived very quickly considering Florida was still in shock mode from hurricane Irma. Everything came properly packed and secure. The instructions were a little hard to understand but that's from my bad eyesight; so I looked it up on YouTube and putting it together was quick and easy. The washing was so simple and took less time and water too; best part wasn't using up any electricity. I use soap nuts and in my old machine getting those bad boys to sudz up was hard; but with this I knew it was washing alright. I thought it wouldn't be able to hold a lot from how small it looked in the pic, but it holds a good bit. As a starter, put your clothes first and then the water to see how it holds. It took a few tries to get it right but I was able to drain without getting water everywhere. After washing 6 successful loads I can now say I am a professional and hopefully this will shape up my arms nicely. My family was watching me like some weirdo when I was using it, the next day when they had to wash, there was a power outage and then they were asking to use it. SMH. Anyway I am glad I bought this and would 100% recommend this to anyone.

For whites it is best to heat the water up (not boil)

Living post Maria in PR is a challenge. Having clean clothes is not one of my struggles, I am grateful for this. For whites it is best to heat the water up (not boil). It is easy and can easily wash 9 shirts in a load or 2 pairs of jeans with a couple of shirts I am a size 16 for gauge. Con: it does not have capability to spin/wring water out. If my son doesn't send me a hand wringer from the states soon I will most likely purchase a model with a spin function.

Love this!

This little machine makes miracles! I bought it to use it for cloth diapers, since I wanted to wash them everyday but I didn't want to use a full laundry machine every day. And it worked! I followed the directions provided and it does the job. I am really happy with the performance of this little eco machine and for a student or anyone that can't afford a laundry machine or like me, that needed to wash a small amount of clothes everyday, this is totally worth!

Lovin it!

ok so I had my doubts about this tub, but my washer died and I didn't have the money to get a new one. I am a single semi-retired woman and only did 1 small load a week,so what the heck I'll give it a try. Great choice! It comes in several pieces but I had it put together in a couple minutes. I keep it in the bathroom and just toss clothes in as needed. When I'm ready to use it I put it in the bathtub,and separate clothes if needed. I can easily put in several shirts a pair of lightweight pants,socks and undies.I use the shower hose to fill it up add a little detergent and put on the lid (make sure to tighten the knob on top) give it 30 easy spins then change directions and give it 30 hard spins and repeat the process a time or two. If it feels like it is just thumping back and forth ,open the top and add more water then spin.The discharge tube is a little difficult but you will get the hang of it! Make sure to open the top. I am always amazed at the dirty water that comes out! when the draining slows down I remove the tube and flip the tub over and empty the rest of the water as i am taking the clothes out and wringing them. To rinse just put the clothes back in add water spin and and drain again. I'm not crazy about wringing them out, but I use a metal colander and some fist action. If you have a dryer toss them in but I usually just hang them to dry.If I have a really dirty pair of jeans after working in the yard I will put them in the tub with water and detergent give it a few spins and let it presoak till morning then spin away. The whole process only takes about 5-6 minutes and clothes come out as clean as they would in a washing machine. I don't think I would recommend this for a large family (unless you want to do several loads a day) but for one or two people it is great!

but it's pretty much the same concept of separation with a regular ...

I got transferred to Germany for work, and don't have a washing machine in my place. I got tired paying to do laundry, so I bought this. This thing will wash anything you throw in it. I do laundry with it every other day. Despite what anyone says, how much you can throw in really depends on the thickness and size of your clothes. After a few loads I got used to it's capacity, and what I should (and shouldn't) throw in together, but it's pretty much the same concept of separation with a regular washing machine. You'll be able to figure out very quickly the limitations of it, but it really can handle quite a bit. Super glad I purchased it.

Great Purchase

This is a neat little compact totally manual washer, it does a great job on getting clothes clean especially if you do a bit of a presoak in warm water then refill add detergent and do main washing action. Sturdy, and efficient and i have NOT made a trip to the laundromat since it was delivered. It has already PAID for itself in time savings, cost and product use. I wash personal laundry, t shirts, jeans, towels, wash cloths, twin sized sheets and pillowcases.. BIG stuff i will have to take to the laundromat but for everyday clothes (one person) it is perfect for me.
