Works good.

This thing worked just as stated, except other reviews claimed it didn't spin excess water out of clothes, which it does. Inside basket turns 3 to4 times for every turn of the handle. Works good.

Wash, rinse, spin in one unit

This is just what I needed! I clean a couple of houses each week. I hate to run my washing machine for a few cleaning cloths. This little machine does the job. I love that I can wash, rinse, and spin without even touching the laundry in between "cycles". I believe I will also use this to wash up delicates or a blouse I want for the next day. Wish I had it before when my grandchild had an accident while I was babysitting. The tub inside spins a lot faster than what you are cranking, so you're not expending much energy.

VERY USEFUL

I bought this and a ultrasonic device that I had high hopes of using to wash clothing (that thing worked 2x and died) but this bowl was fantastic, it was the washing reservoir for washing, draining it, rinsing it then spinning to near dry! Just like an electric washing machine that does all cycles! I have used it for spinning hand washables, and for extracting water from my kayaking clothing...the suction cups really work well on a smooth surface, some places have been rock or wood surfaces which require me to stabilize it as it spins, but it does spin multiple times around for each crank around, so the mechanics of this device are phenomenal! You should not tire yourself out wringing clothing with this compared to hand wringing stuff...one thing I tried was hang wringing just to see how much more water this spinner could get out...and it was impressive! This would be a great thing to have on hand in case a washing machine at home ever goes out...

EcoSpin manual washer

First, I purchased a hand crank washer like the EcoWash a couple months ago thinking of doing away with my front load washer and gas dryer. I wasn't all that happy with it. The frame was very rickety like it was going to break apart under the weight of water and wet clothes inside. Everything else about the washer was nice; the quality of the drum, the lid, and the hand crank. I never used it again after the first couple tries. A few days ago my front load washer stopped working. I'm not going to get it repaired, instead I ordered this ecospin washer. I expected cheap plastic but was actually impressed with the quality of the plastic drum and the lid. I had to do 5 loads which would have been equivalent to one load in the front load washer. I used the same water for each load. I placed a clean bucket beside the ecospin and after each load instead of draining out the water I put the washed clothes in the bucket. When I was finished with washing, I drained out the water and used the ecospin like a colander. I sprayed water on the clothes one load at a time, then spun them dry in my little turbo spinner that spins at more than 1700 rpm. Yeah, it requires electricity but only for about 30-45 seconds! Spinning for longer than that is a waste. This system seems like it's going to work out pretty well. Being as graceful as I am, I spilled my lunch on my sweatshirt earlier in the day and even though I didn't pretreat it before putting it in the ecospin washer it came out nice and clean. I'm hoping by only using the hand crank during the wash cycle and not the rinse or spin dry cycle the ecospin will last a long time. Now, about the the EcoWash look alike hand crank washer I'm not using, it will come in handy when my gas dryer quits too. I'm going to use it like the air fluff cycle on the dryer. By not filling it with water the frame should be fine. I'm going to put a couple dry towels and a couple dryer balls inside the drum with freshly spun out clothes and crank for about 5 minutes or so. This should require no muscle whatsoever since there is no water inside. When spinning out clothes in the little turbo spinner, they get pretty wrinkled. The EcoWash look alike washer along with a couple dry towels and a couple dryer balls should remedy that problem nicely.

This Saves My Back, My Hands. Nice!

UPDATED REVIEW on 6/16/18: The 3 inside screws in the center of the lid will not stay put. But "necessity is the mother of invention" and now I'm glad it broke because my fix up is better. I will not use the lid at all, but I have a dollar-store small basket that is an all-over sieve with 2 handles...it fits inside the washer (inside the inner basket) and I can churn it like its an agitator, one way then the other. Its much easier and works fine. It makes the inner basket spin, still, too.// Today I finally got around to trying out my new manual, non-electric little washing machine, the Avalon Bay EcoSpin. Now that I've got the hang of it, I'll use it probably every day, or at least every other day. I like it! It greatly lessens the physical strain of hand-washing clothes. The biggest plus, I'd say, is that I can spin a lot of water out of the fabric, and then throw it right into my (electric) dryer. I still have to do a little bit of a workout, but the whole process is much easier than it was with just a big bucket and a washing stick, and my hands and my back, etc.. I am speaking from experience! I did find that it was a little difficult to keep the EcoSpin from spiraling out of control while rotating the crank to make it spin (like a great big salad spinner). What I eventually did was to put the machine on top of a loosely inflated rubber ring, the kind you'd sit on. I have the ring and the machine on top of a round shower stool, though it would work just as well to simply keep it on the floor of the shower stall, I suppose. Or, wherever worked out well.

Great for small loads in small apartment

I've been going to the Gym 5-6 days a week and found it challenging to wash gym clothes every other day. I live in an apartment, and the community wash room would cost me a fortune to wash and dry 5 days a week. I needed something to supplement in between regular loads of laundry, and this little washer was perfect! It can fit gym pants, a shirt or 2, some undies, and a few socks. I can now do 2 small loads a week, and hang dry overnight. The washer itself takes up very little space, and if anyone is looking to utilize this washer for similar use, I would highly recommend pre-soaking before washing, and doing a 2nd rinse. Everything comes out super fresh! This washer has become a life-saver, and a money-saver as well. Great investment!

I'm doing laundry EVERYDAY now !!!

I have a small wash machine and finally got this. I almost bought a dual machine but since linens, pillows and carpets I need to wash in the regular one, this would fit. In the beginning is a bit hard to figure what is the best place, the best way, the best load, but then, things get easier and faster. And I mean, faster! in 30sec the load is ready to dry. No dripping, no burning hands by twisting, no wet floor, just perfect, ready to dry load. If you are thinking about this and you already have a wash machine, this is perfect. If you have kids and you have to do laundry every day, this is perfect. If you have time to do small batches of laundry, this is perfect.

Very easy to use

I find stained clothes should be pre-soaked, with a scab of your hands or washboard. Very easy to use, after a few uses to break it in it is a wonderful clothes spinner and washer. I love it. The spinner works great, pending on the material it dry's clothes in a few hours or overnight...My Avalon Bay EcoSpin has almost paid for itself already. I do not mind getting a good upper body workout. Easy to use. I am just under my Senior years and have no problem with spinning. Please follow the guidebook for detergent, I overdid it at first and had to rinse a few times. It is amazing to see how much dirt it removes from my clothes. I am thinking of buying the Ecowasher so I can wash one pair of jeans at a time. It may seem like a long time, but it is less time to have really fresh and most of all Clean clothes. I love it, thank you Amazon and Avalon Bay. :-) Only con is you need to wait for 30 seconds to open the top. Which really is not a con for me. I am on a tight budget. I highly recommend this awesome machine. Thank you.

Best thing since sliced bread

I always found it a hassle to do laundry as I'd have to go find coins, go down to the basement of my building where the machines were, go up and down stairs, carry a big laundry load, etc. But this thing actually changed my life! At first I didn't think that such a cheap thing would even make a dent but it really has proved itself in the several months since I've had it. I use it constantly. For everything. I don't even use washing/drying machines anymore. First, it's always in my shower. I do my laundry every day now in what I call a Micro-Load: 1 underwear, 2 socks, 1 shirt - that's it! And every other day or two I throw in pants. It takes roughly 5 minutes with this thing and it's the easiest thing ever. I throw my clothes in there, add water using faucet inside my shower, add soap. Spin it for 2 minutes using a 2 minute hourglass that I have next to my tub. Next, I open the drain latch, and just let the water from the shower head rinse off the soap for a few more minutes, sometimes I even shower with it as I do it! I then spin dry it for about 30 seconds. Last thing, I attach the clothes onto my trusty Air King Industrial grade fan with some clothespins. 45 minutes later, my clothes are dry and ready to go. Sometimes I do this an hour before I go out. That's how efficient this is. It really has changed my life and my clothes smell much better than using machines. This thing has taught me to be more efficient. I've reduced the amount of clothes in my wardrobe to 30% of what they used to be and now I only wear my favorite clothes. I now save money, water, and electricity. It just really has warped my perception on washing clothes, which was always the chore I hated to do most, but not anymore thanks to EcoSpin!

No more dripping bras & panties

To spin dry light weight items, it is excellent. Removes far more water than I ever did twisting and wringing the heck out my hand laundry. The EcoSpin dries items as well as any full-sized machine has, allowing me to set drying racks outside of the bathtub. EcoSpin as a washing machine, however, lacks the ability to agitate the clothing, even when alternating the direction of the basket. Removing the lid would be easier if there were more to "grab" around the edge. Perhaps for younger stronger hands this is not an issue, but for me, it is challenging.
