Kindle Customer: I saw this item being used on a television show and immediately ordered one and have been using it almost daily. Thank you for making this manual clothes washer. First off, it's bigger than I thought it would be and it can hold alot of clothes. I prefer to just wash smaller loads, but it's possible to fit one sheet and pillowcase at a time as I use a drying rack to dry my items. I can't believe how clean the clothes get, using only a couple tablespoons of laundry soap, it does an excellent job. No more using gross, stinky washers in the laundy room, that you have to clean before using, if one is even available. I'm saving money, and I can wash clothes any time I want. I'm so happy with my manual clothes washer, it's perfect for a single person.

Linda: It works easily, I only wash small items, underwear, compression stockinged, dish clothes. They still need rinsing afterward. I use a small container (bottom piece of lettuce spinner) and then wring out by hand. Clothes are clean! It's pricey for its limited options but it does is wash well.

Amazon Customer: Love this product. Got my clothing clean. Amount that it washes is similar to what my rack hold comfortably. Easy enough to crank. My only issue was getting the lid to release sometimes when it got too much suction from the washing action. But that also meant it was not leaking a ton. A great off the grid clothes washing option.

photons: After seeing so many positive reviews and videos from people who were trying to save money while helping the planet, I decided to give this a go. I really, really wanted to love this product. But unfortunately, it didn't work out for me.

TL;DR version of review:
===================

It does do a basic wash of your clothes, but the construction of the device is questionable. Rating this three stars because the device gets out some but not all of the dirt, doesn't seem like it's built to last, and has many parts don't even fit together correctly. Arguably, the axle is the most mechanically important component of the washer, since that's the mechanism by which the whole thing works, but, unfortunately, the axle could not be securely positioned on my unit due to poorly constructed fittings. Also, if it matters to you, the wonder wash is, indeed, pink.

Oh, and, this doesn't affect my rating, but if you were considering using this in an apartment, don't just think about the money you might save. Also consider the time it will take to wash repeated loads, the space this will take up in your apartment (especially if you live in a city), and the space your drying...

TorontoVapeMeister: My only complaint is that I overpaid by not waiting until the machine was less in demand. Other than that, it's a great purchase and it's *still* worth the every penny I paid. Came earlier than the shipping date, too. It was easy to assemble.

It's light enough to lug around easily, does a good wash and winds up being a lot less work than slugging clothes off to the laundry room/shop once you get into the routine of it.

There's a learning curve but I truly do not understand much of the complaining. It does as good a job on clothes as most commercial washers and since you can adjust what you are doing--better in many case-- as well as adjust how you want to use your laundry products to suit your needs and how long you want your soak cycles to be. Hello, kitchen timer!

SOME TIPS 'N' TRICKS:

***If the crank is too difficult to turn then you have a water/clothes ratio problem.*** (I see this complaint here, a lot)
Either add more water or take out some clothes. I'm prehistoric with arthritis and I can wash a thin cotton double duvet cover in it, so young'uns have no excuse ;) This will hold *5lbs* of clothes so you certainly can wash at least one pair of...

dcl: The title says it all: It is a freakin' Wonder Machine.

But why did I buy it?

Because I like to crank?

Because I am a save-the-water nutcase?

Because I need a lower arm grip bulge?

Because I have a great story about washing machines?

In order: Sort of; not nutcase but I saw the film about Sahara travelers who left their village when the well dried up and had to give their oldest son and half their cows to the warlord for safe passage and water; wouldn't hurt; now how did you guess?

Obviously my washing machine is finished.

Because the required "I can fix it, sir" parts are NLA.

No longer available, for those of you who are like I was a week ago.

My mom's first washer dryer set lasted 50 years.

My refurb aqua blue Whirlpool matched set were 40 years old when I bought them for $175 installed in 1979 and I know for a fact still going strong today.

With two minor repair visits - one a mouse hose chewthrough - and enough diapers through them to handle six months of China's annual newborn population for a year.

Okay. I have a stacked washer and gas dryer, condominium alcove 24" deep size front...
